Restaurants Returning, And Expanding, With Offerings For All

The Seattle.gov website is still available to identify restaurants open for take-out & delivery, for those growing tired of COVID cooking…

There is no understating the damage being caused to Fremont’s businesses by the need for extended COVID-19 closures, but there is also no underestimating the way our small, local businesses can react, and reinvent in response to the pandemic’s tragic consequences.

While MANY Fremont restaurants were able to shift quickly to a delivery/take-out model – and have found some kind of way to stay open during the ‘Stay Home, Stay Healthy’ quarantine; feeding us in our physical distance.  For a way to find Fremont restaurants near you, wherever you are sheltering, check out the City of Seattle SupportPugetSoundSmallBusinesses map (click here.)

Wonderful news is that a few of our favorite restaurants that were forced to close at first have now re-opened –

  • Palmi Teriyaki – Pedestrians have reported at this restaurant very literally at the Center of the Universe (the former Yak’s Teriyaki location,) has re-opened, for take-out. It’s worth a walk in the fresh air, provided you are healthy and nearby, to check in at this famous doorway and see what you can have for lunch!

In addition to serving food, our restaurants can now sell liquor – and a few of our favorite bars are selling off the back bar.  If you have ever wanted to take home some of those amazing bottles at The Backdoor, you can now quench your thirst with your take-out!  Grab a bottle, or a drink kit, while picking up take-out from Norm’s Eatery.  Right now at Norm’s pick-up a favorite meal, or get something off the limited Roxy’s Diner menu.  However, go now because The Backdoor bar supplies are limited!

Together, our community will get through this pandemic and with COVID-19 precautions in place, we hope to be seeing everyone soon at celebrations and festivals.  The important thing is to keep supporting our small businesses in Fremont, and the work of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce to strengthen our business district.  See members of the Fremont Chamber on the North Seattle Town Hall on Thursday, May 7th at 4:30p – to RSVP click here.
