Sample scrumptious treats from West Seattle’s best restaurants, bars and bakeries.

Every year, hundreds of food lovers head west for a mega spring food event, the Taste of West Seattle.  At this grub fest, participants sample food and beverages from over 50 of West Seattle’s best restaurants while helping to raise money and awareness for the West Seattle Helpline, a nonprofit organization helping Seattle families with one-time emergencies.

This year, ‘The Taste’ is offering a diverse group of restaurants to satisfy your taste buds.  Some of these eateries include Café Fiore, Full Tilt Ice Cream, Salty’s on Alki Beach and Bakery Nouveau. The variety of establishments range from comfort food to culinary delights, ensuring that everyone will go home well fed!

A new addition to this year’s event is VIP tickets for foodies who want to enjoy the experience without fighting the crowd.  Some of these perks include early admission (6p.m.) and reserved seating.
