Wasabee Sushi: 105 E. Chestnut St.


I first wrote about Wasabee Sushi back in 2008, but since that post I have been back more times than I can count. Over the past eight years this place has really grown on me now my favorite sushi restaurant in Bellingham. They have several vegan rolls to choose from, and the prices are very fair.


At my most recent dinner there I had three different rolls, the oshinko (pickled daikon radish and cucumber), the yamagobo (pickled burdock and cucumber), and an avocado and cucumber roll. All three  rolls were delicious, although I always love anything with avocado most, especially when the avocado is just right in terms of buttery flavor and texture.


Wasabee has a great atmosphere and is a place where I really enjoy dining, whether my husband and I are dining alone or if we are meeting friends. It's comfortable yet also feels a little special. I find it easy to relax and enjoy conversations there. And whenever I get a craving for sushi, this is the first place that pops into my head. Even writing about it now is making me want some! Unfortunately, Wasabee is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so when you get a craving on a Sunday, you have to wait a couple of days before you can act on it...


I am really glad Wasabee is in Bellingham and that they have delicious vegan sushi options. They have really proven over the years that they are (and deserve to be) a local favorite, and if you haven't checked them out yet, I hope you will!

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...
