Step into @mimiszerowastemarket in Ballard, where sustainability meets simplicity. What started as a pandemic hobby has grown into something special – a place where customers gather to refill, reuse, and rethink their relationship with everyday products.
From bulk pantry staples to eco-friendly household goods, every visit is a multi-sensory experience and a step toward a more sustainable future. 
Pro tip: Bring your clean, dry containers or grab one of their upcycled jars for just 50 cents. New to zero waste? Start with their popular laundry and dishwasher detergent refills – the perfect gateway to sustainable living!
BONUS: You can pick up a free jar of @brownfamilybbqsauce when you visit Mimi’s during the month of April, courtesy of the @becu Equity in Action tab (while offers last!). Be sure to wash the jar and bring it to Mimi’s to use next time you’re stocking up on products!

Celebrating the life & legacy of Sam Ung.
Today’s event at Seattle’s @winglukemuseum was both a heartfelt tribute and a powerful reminder that it’s the people behind the local businesses we love that matter.
Sam shared his family’s story through the food that he cooked and shared at @phnompenhnoodlehouse, but what we miss are the ways that he made generations of customers feel like family.
Father. Philanthropist. Author.
Sam was an inspiring example of accepting the days we have with our families and friends as gifts — of storytelling even when it’s hard so that others might step into a space of healing, and choosing to be the reason someone feels welcome and a sense of belonging.
Thank you Sam, and much love to Dawn, Diane, Darlene

Visit @babargreenseattle where Southeast Asian flavors meet plant-based innovation! 
This South Lake Union gem has been proving that vegan food is anything but boring since 2020. Co-owner and operator Teresa Nguyen shares the story behind @babarseattle’s evolution to a plant-based menu in this week’s Small Business Spotlight - read the full interview on the blog.
Be sure to swing by the window in South Lake Union to pick up a tofu or chorizo bánh mì or house-made kimchi fried rice!
