Seth and Zachary Pacleb opened Pidgin Cooperative in 2025 to build a worker-owned restaurant where everyone has a stake and a voice in creating community-rooted food. Blending their Filipino heritage with Pacific Northwest ingredients, the brothers and their team serve thoughtful, seasonal dishes that celebrate collaboration over competition. Every member of the cooperative shares in decision-making and profits, creating a model that values equity, sustainability, and care as much as flavor.

Love that Pidgin Cooperative has such great relationships with farmers and makes their own noodles. The dressing on their Pidgin is so yummy.
