Originally part of a decade-old event, Seattle Restaurant Week was reorganized in 2020 to include more restaurants and better support the community during quieter seasons. Today, any local eatery can participate with a nominal fee, offering not just prix-fixe menus but also meal kits and cocktail add-ons to enhance the experience.
Seattle Restaurant Week is organized by the Seattle Good Business Network, a nonprofit that supports local businesses and the community.
