Seattle's food scene is incredible.
According to a recent Seattle Times report, in the first quarter of 2017, our city had 2,696 actively operating establishments, from restaurants to food trucks to caterers. This number is 25 percent higher than a decade ago, and not only that, the survival rate for restaurants in their first year of operation here is higher than the national average, remaining around 87 percent since 2008. Seattle restaurants are a $3-billion-a-year industry.
