Through artifacts, photographs, films and recipes, this 5,000-square-foot exhibit at the Museum of History & Industry explores our city’s culinary history and what it truly means to be a Seattle food.

With its arid, high desert climate and singular geology, Washington is becoming a major player in world-class wines — and the best is yet to come. It’s our pleasure at PCC to collaborate with some of the most passionate producers, whose wines express the vividly unique flavor of our state in every bottle. Help us celebrate Taste Washington month by raising a glass (or three)!
Some PCC staff are on a health kick this month, chomping down PCC Deli’s Veggie Collard Wrap, while others are indulging in the deli’s cheddar biscuits or rich porter beer from Portland. Others love a non-dairy cheese that will surpass even cheese-lovers’ expectations. Pick these all up next time you’re in our stores, and don’t miss new organic stars in the produce department: local purple sprouting broccoli and juicy Larry Anne plums.
One of PCC’s longtime partners is Food Action (formerly the Washington Sustainable Food and Farming Network), which recently refreshed its mission and is taking on several important issues in the coming year. Join them for a Good Food and Farming Advocacy Day on Monday, March 6.
