Sweetgreen, the mission-driven restaurant brand serving healthy food at scale, announces its debut in Seattle with its first location opening in The Village at Totem Lake in Kirkland on January 16. Washington marks the first state Sweetgreen has entered in the Pacific Northwest, a significant milestone amidst the brand's continued nationwide expansion. Since its founding, Sweetgreen has stayed true to its mission of prioritizing quality, sustainable ingredients and fresh produce.

Its menu of salads, warm bowls, protein plates and sides features longtime favorites including the Harvest Bowl and Crispy Rice Bowl, and new protein-packed offerings like the Miso Glazed Salmon, Southwest Chicken Fajita and Hot Honey Chicken plates. Local ingredients sourced for the new Seattle locations include fresh rosemary focaccia from Macrina Bakery, along with organic tofu from Island Spring Organics. The Vashon Island-based producer is a local fan-favorite founded in the 1970s, known for producing millions of pounds of certified organic, non-GMO tofu each year, and is synonymous with premium quality and taste.

Island Spring Organics will roll out in Sweetgreen?s Seattle stores and supply the delicious protein featured in many of the brand?s beloved menu items. Sweetgreen?s longstanding commitment to bringing customers awareness of where their food comes from is reflected in every inch of its restaurants. From the open-kitchen concept where scratch food is made daily, to a visible source board proudly displaying the partners and producers behind its delicious ingredients, Sweetgreen redefines menu transparency from farm-to-fork. With every new market opening, Sweetgreen teams up with a local partner to give back and make an impact in the community.

Sweetgreen is proud to announce its partnership with Northwest Harvest, a food justice organization in Washington state that provides millions of nutritious meals to more than 400 partner programs and advocates for equitable food policies. For every meal sold on opening day, Sweetgreen will match with a meal donation to Northwest Harvest to nourish local communities experiencing food insecurity.
