Clearly, Seattle loves fast-casual salads and customizable grain bowls. With two locations already in South Lake Union and Totem Lake, Sweetgreen is opening a third spot at 11th and Pine in Capitol Hill on Oct. 22.

This new Capitol Hill location will be the first in the Pacific Northwest to feature the Infinite Kitchen — a technology Sweetgreen first rolled out last year in Naperville, Illinois. Machines take care of assembling meals, while Sweetgreen’s staff handle customer service and add the finishing touches. Los Angeles-based Sweetgreen joins other big names such as Starbucks and Chipotle, who are also testing automation.

Customers can customize their meals with organic tofu from Island Spring Organics, a Vashon Island-based producer that’s been around since the 1970s, known for its certified organic, non-GMO tofu.

Sweetgreen opened its first Seattle-area location in Kirkland to much fanfare in January.

To celebrate the Capitol Hill opening, Sweetgreen is hosting a party from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Oct. 22. There will be live music from Hrvst House, giveaways, a limited-edition fall drink from Rachel’s Ginger Beer, custom beanies from G2Gi, and hand-poured scented candles from Noir Lux. Supplies are limited.

For every meal purchased on opening day, Sweetgreen will donate a meal to Northwest Harvest, a local organization that provides nutritious meals to those in need. Sweetgreen donates 100,000 meals annually during its opening day celebrations.
