We’ve got some sweet news for you, Seattle. Sweetgreen, the mission-driven restaurant brand known for its healthy menu options, is expanding its footprint in Seattle with a second location in South Lake Union (801 Lenora St.).

Mark your calendars: Seattlietes are invited to the grand opening celebration of the SLU opening on Tuesday, March 26 (yes, that’s tomorrow). Store hours are 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

Sweetgreen also partnered with Dierdre Patterson, a black female artist who hails from Seattle, to commission a piece for the new location inspired by the city. Titled ‘Urban Jungle’, the mural deconstructs Seattle’s natural beauty into a modern tapestry. Inspired by local resources, the color palette mirrors those seen around the city. To celebrate opening day, the first 250 guests will receive exclusive Sweetgreen merch made in Seattle featuring printed artwork by Patterson.

Bonus: For every meal sold on opening day, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Northwest Harvest to nourish Seattleites experiencing food insecurity. Northwest Harvest is a food justice organization that provides millions of nutritious meals to 400+ partner programs and addresses the root causes of food insecurity by advocating for equitable food policies.

This opening marks the next step in the fast-casual salad chain’s expansion plan in Emerald City. Sign up for opening day updates and future location openings in Capitol Hill coming later this year.

News Notes
 
Civic
  • Seattle City Council is considering rolling back a law that requires companies like DoorDash to pay their delivery drivers a minimum wage. Following the law’s enactment in January, the council said it received negative feedback from businesses and residents about the added delivery fees gig companies plugged in to compensate for higher operational costs. (Seattle Times)
Coming Soon
  • After a turbulent year, Capitol Hill sandwich spot HoneyHole is getting ready to reopen again. The new owners, who are also responsible for nearby rum bars Rumba and Inside Passage, said they hope to have the spot open by the end of the month with old favorites like the El Guapo and The Waverider back on the menu. (The Stranger + Capitol Hill Seattle)
State
  • Washington schools are now required to teach LGBTQ+ history as part of their curricula. The new law requires schools to develop “diverse, equitable, inclusive, and age-appropriate instructional materials” that reflect the perspectives of under-represented groups. The state already required such material for Indigenous communities and enslaved people. (Seattle Times)
Plan Ahead
  • In the market for an easel? The Gage Academy of Art will be hosting a big yard sale on Saturday, April 6 as it preps to move to South Lake Union. Expect to find art supplies, books, costumes, decor, kitchen items, electronics, and more. The sale begins at 9 a.m. on its campus at 1501 10th Ave E. (Capitol Hill Seattle)

From the editor
It was so nice to get a little spring break this week. While I used some of the time to kick it around the neighborhood, I also went up to Bellingham to visit my family. While I love living in the city, it’s always nice to be in the woods for a bit.
