6. Bridge cultural backgrounds with Spice Bridge
For another experience that combines tasty food with a good cause, head over to Tukwila Village, where a global food hall celebrates the Puget Sound region’s culinary diversity while giving a boost to talented refugee and immigrant cooks. Spice Bridge Food Hall, a project launched by the Food Innovation Network, provides opportunities for immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs who would otherwise face barriers to entering the food industry, such as the high rents for commercial spaces. This space provides a commercial kitchen and several market stalls for vendors to prepare and serve food that showcases their cultural background.
Gambian, Congolese, Somali and Argentine are examples of cuisines in rotation, plus Cambodian, Afghan and more. Get adventurous with ntaba, a grilled goat dish served with boiled fermented cassava, from Taste of Congo; or play it a little more mainstream with empanadas and sweet pastries from Seatango’s Argentine bakery.
