While you can, and should, support women-owned restaurants every day of the year, there are a couple of especially good times to do it, including August 26 (Women’s Equality Day), March 8 (International Women’s Day), and the entirety of March (Women’s History Month). To help you celebrate any and all of those things, we’ve compiled this list of restaurants, cafes, and bars in Seattle that are owned by women (at least partially—some of these are co-owned by men).
Please note: While we’ve done our best to make this as comprehensive as possible, there may be women-owned restaurants in Seattle that we don’t know about or otherwise unintentionally left off this list. If we’re missing something, please email us and let us know, and we’ll fix it as soon as we can. Thanks!
