Restaurants in Crisis: Inside Seattle's Hospitality Industry

Your favorite restaurant might be struggling more than you realize. Join us for an honest conversation about the future of food in Seattle.

The Seattle area boasts some of the best restaurants and unique bars in the country — but that may not continue for much longer. Seattle-area restaurants, bars, and hospitality companies are at a crossroads as costs soar and new policies continue to erode already-tight margins. Restaurants are closing, and more closures are expected. During this discussion, you'll hear from restaurant owners on the front lines and get an honest take on what needs to change if the region wants to maintain its claim as a hot spot for culinary experiences. If you care about this important part of the Seattle-area economy, this is an event not to be missed.
