Vegan/Vegetarians

I agree with boybrady that Olympia would be a great fit. Just check out their downtown for all your choices to eat. Plus we have a great Farmers market over looking the Sound and local farmers that allow you to pay than pick. There is a strong community feeling in Olympia,wa.

Mount Vernon has a wonderful Co-Op store and deli. Tons of choices, always 2 soups available, one is always veggie/vegan. Hot food to go also. Also, The Chuckwagon, a longtime, cowboy-themed Mount Vernon restaurant (think the old fashion drive-in place but you can sit comfortable inside and look at the cowboy stuff) has a black bean burger that you can't miss along with a broccoli burger, and a potato burger - and it's clean but funky, fun lunch place to boot. Bellingham is a great town to eat in "cruelty free". Downtown Burlington has the Burlington Cafe, several yummy veggie choices. This area has a large population of Seven Day Adventists, which are usually non-meaters. Between those folks and the college in Bellingham, most restaurants in this area have several worthwhile non-meat choices. Chow On!

So Olympia has this restaurants, the Saigon Rendez-Vouz. I know there is also another in Seattle that is similar that have good vegetarian and vegan fake meat meals. It is interesting ordering Mongolian Beef and having it be a convincing, fake meal.

I also love the Organic Soup restaurant, with at least 1 Vegan option, usually 2.

The 2 co-ops (possibly a 3rd on the way for downtown) in a town of 40K with a real downtown is pretty awesome.

I have been to 2 Thai places on 4th that both have vegan menus.

The Indian place on 4th also serves vegan Indian.

The Blue Heron on the Westside is an organic bakery with great sandwiches, etc. It has vegan options.

The fishbowl Brewery makes organic beer and has both (limited) vegan and veggie options.
