Shopping for Vegetarian Food in the Puget Sound Area:
PCC Natural Markets and
Central Co-op both make a special effort to provide
all-natural, mostly organic foods, with a huge range of foods suitable for
vegetarian and vegan diets.
PCC has locations throughout the Puget Sound, in Fremont, Greenlake, Issaquah,
Kirkland, Seward Park, View Ridge and West Seattle. It is a full-line natural
foods grocery with resources for healthy living. Their website has all kinds of
information about the latest foods they have on offer, cooking classes, hot
topics of the day, advice on the use of supplements and vitamins, etc.
Located on East Madison in Seattle, this is very much a community based natural
foods store. Their product selection is driven by not only what sells but by
customers' requests whenever possible. This receptiveness and responsiveness to
customer needs is one of their strengths and distinguishes them from traditional
supermarkets.
If you’re looking for a vegetarian date or a roommate, this is the largest and
most popular vegetarian and vegan dating service. One couple who met through
VeggieDate, held their first date at a Vegetarians of Washington Monthly Dining
Event, and a year later, they were married!
