Building Yesterday’s Future–For Everyone
Ivar’s Acres of Clams has been a local waterfront institution in downtown Seattle since 1938. The regionally famous clam chowder is also available in local grocery stores. As they say at Ivar’s—Keep Clam.
Teriyaki is everywhere in Seattle, but it’s not quite like the teriyaki you get elsewhere. Invented and popularized by Toshi Kasahara at Toshi’s Teriyaki, Seattle teriyaki has been a favorite locally since the 1970s. Plenty of recipes are available online, but for a special Seattle twist, add a little pineapple juice to the marinade.

Coffee culture is ubiquitous in Seattle, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that you can find a coffee shop on almost every corner.

In the Northwest, we love our berries. You’ll frequently see pies, syrups, and all manner of desserts featuring not just strawberries and raspberries, but loganberries, marionberries, gooseberries, huckleberries, and others. This recipe for blackberry crisp can be made gluten free and vegan with simple substitutions. It’s a summertime favorite.
