Great resources! We have no excuse to be ignorant anymore in the 21st century. Yet, we can still chose to ignore.
Hey Jean! I’m vacationing in Washington this summer and am so glad that you’ve got some vegan restaurants listed here. I’ll be in Seattle and Port Townsend, so if you’ve got any more idea of where I should go – please let me know!
Excellent! You’ll have fun here. I’ll keep adding to the restaurant list then. In the meantime, have a look at http://www.vegseattle.com/ (the left column has a link to veg restaurants). Drop me a line if you have time to meet at a vegan café while you’re in town!
It would be great to meet up with you – I’ll keep you posted about my plans!
