Welcome to the Kirkland Community, Sweetgreen!
This week we had the honor of hosting a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to welcome the newest business at The Village at Totem Lake. Let's do a little "flash get to know you!"
π’For every meal sold at opening day, Sweetgreen donated nearly 1,000 meals to Northwest Harvest to nourish Seattleites experiencing food insecurity.
π’They are on a mission to show the world that Green Feels Good™
π’Their οΏ½culture of hospitality is οΏ½S.W.E.E.T:
SMILE + WELCOME: Our customers are our first priority. Give them a warm welcome as soon as they enter the restaurant. Smile, make eye contact, and say “Hello!” in your own way.
EDUCATE: Actively talk to customers, anticipate, and address their needs. It’s okay not to know the answer—but always offer to find someone who does.
ENGAGE: Some customers may be having a great day, some may be having a hard time, and some may be in a rush. Find moments for quick, genuine connection.
THANK: Go the extra mile and make sure our customers know we are grateful. You will never get in trouble for Adding the Sweet Touch.

Mark your calendar to Dine Out at Joe's Burgers in Totem Lake, Kirkland, on October 4, Wednesday. Eastside Pride is having a 'fun'draiser to celebrate the start of National LGBTQIA+ History Month. Fifteen percent of sales that day will be donated by Joe's Burgers. Please be sure to mention Eastside Pride when ordering and thanks for your support.
National LGBT History Month was created in 1994 by Rodney Wilson, a Missouri high school history teacher. He believed that it was necessary to dedicate a month to educating people about the history of LGBTQIA+ people. With the support of teachers, the month of October, when schools would be in session, was selected.
In 1995, a resolution passed by the General Assembly of the National Education Association included commemorating LGBT History Month. October was selected to also coincide with National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11), which was already established, and the anniversary of the first march on Washington for gay and lesbian rights in 1979.
