Seattle’s fifth annual Feast with Friends was a great success. The event took place on September 30th, at Kaspars Special Events and Catering. Focused on raising awareness of the benefits eating local, the event featured tastings from seven Seattle restaurants, a local soda maker, a local coffee roaster, and nine Washington wineries. The chefs’ tasting menus were a celebration of harvest season in the Northwest, showcasing ingredients all grown here in the Puget Sound region. The evening’s culinary delights were certainly the highlight, but our food-focused silent auction was also a hit.

Farming is an integral part not only of our state’s economy, but also of our shared heritage. Washington’s farmlands are worth saving, and encouraging people to eat and buy local is one way we can make a difference. Futurewise sends a big thank you to all the sponsors and participants who made this event possible.
