How funny to be browsing random Bellingham blogs and see a familiar face! I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising; Bellingham is still a small town in many ways. Anyway, I haven't seen you in many years, but thought you'd like to know you influenced me to become a vegetarian nine years ago-- thank you for introducing me to a more compassionate, healthier lifestyle! Hope you're happy and doing well.

Liz! How wonderful to hear from you! What a great surprise! Thanks so much for your comment and your kind words. I am definitely happy and doing well, and I hope the same is true for you and Eli--how awesome that the two of you are married! Drop me an email sometime if you get the chance so I can write you back and we can catch up more (veganinbellingham@gmail.com) and tell Eli hi for me too! :)
They now have a vegan spread for the bagels as well!

I just checked out Zoe's for the first time! I'm not sure what brand of vegan cream cheese they use but it's a little funky. It does the trick though. Do you happen to know if the breads for their sandwiches are vegan? I didn't get a chance to ask. Thanks for your helpful posts!
Hi Robin,
I think it's a vegan cream cheese that they make in-house but I am not sure. It is a little different than the store-bought kind... All of the bagels are vegan (The Bagelry bagels are vegan, and that's where they get them from), but I am not sure about breads? Let me know if you find out anything new! Thanks!

Ambo Ethiopian: 902 N State Street #104

The moment I have been dreaming of for over a year now has finally happened--Mulunesh Belay has opened Ambo Ethiopian again, now in it's new location!  As soon as I heard the news, I knew I would be there for the very first moment that she opened. I did not want to miss a moment and I could barely stand the waiting. Yesterday, November 16, 2019, was the grand opening in the new restaurant on N. State Street, and my husband and I went with some friends to celebrate and once again enjoy Mulu's amazingly delicious cuisine. (And yes, we were the very first ones there). I ordered the kale and yellow split peas and everything was just as good as I had remembered. I am already planning when I can eat there again (which will be tomorrow evening, in case you are wondering, followed most likely by multiple evenings this week!!). Over this past year, I have missed the delicious vegan food from Ambo Ethiopian, and Mulu's beautiful bright smile, more than I can say, and I am

Bayou on Bay: 1300 Bay Street

Not only does Bayou have several vegan options on their menu, they also have weekend vegan brunch options! If you have not yet tried the vegan hash, I recommend it.  This mouth-watering dish takes potatoes, avocado, onions, other veggies--cooked just right and combined with the perfect amount of seasoning--to create a fantastic dish you will want to eat again and again. Weekends are just that much better when you can incorporate brunch at Bayou into them!

Pigs Peace Sanctuary: 27631 56th Ave NW, Stanwood, WA

I can't believe I have wanted to visit the Pigs Peace Sanctuary for nearly 20 years, and then finally, yesterday, my wish came true. And the experience was truly amazing. If you are not yet familiar with the Pigs Peace Sanctuary, I encourage you to learn more about it. We are so lucky to have such a valuable place so nearby Bellingham. Not only does it provide a safe place for rescued animals to recover from trauma and live out their lives in peace and happiness, it also offers humans a place to connect with and learn more about these beautiful, often misunderstood creatures.  Judy Woods and  the volunteers that help her are doing really incredible work and you cannot help but be moved by the stories of bravery, survival, recovery, and connection that Judy shares with you when you visit the sanctuary. Tour appointments have to be scheduled and approved with Judy in advance, and people are eligible to sign up as volunteers with the sanctuary after attending a tour. My tour
