Being a locovore has it’s advantages in the Pacific Northwest. The first night I arrived, we enjoyed dungeness crab caught by a neighbor and wild salmon snagged by my nephew.
We’ve also eaten Loganberry pie from a local farm, locally baked sour dough bread, Ranier cherries from Pike Place Market, and some pretty great caramel popcorn made at Popsies on Main Street.
It’s always refreshing, however, to realize that even 1,800 miles away there are still tomatoes and peppers and potatoes. Some food just seems to be local everywhere.
It’s Friday, and we’re off to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound. Looking forward to some more local fare.

Today, I am joining Ann Kroeker for Food on Fridays when she discusses all things food. Since I am a bit of a foodie myself, I plan to join her discussion often. Stop by and visit her yourself, too!
Wow. What a photo! Ummmm, good. Yes, we’re foodies too, though more in the natural vein. My wife is vegan, partly out of necessity (she’s allergic to dairy) and largely out of conviction. I do eat some meat here and there, mainly salmon. She will touch that a bit.
Anyhow, glad you’re able to enjoy the Great Northwest! Hope you have the most wonderful time.
Oh, how I wish I lived near fresh seafood….
Sounds delicious, Charity. I hope your trip finished up with some highlights, whether sights, sounds, people, or food.
I spent a lovely couple of nights at a B&B on one of the San Juan islands — before we had kids. Thanks for bringing back the good memories of coastal food and fun.
The salmon in the Puget Sound area is fantastic! I’m not sure I’ve had a loganberry pie. That sounds wonderful. I love eating local- local restaurants and local produce – yum.
That sounds wonderful – especially the crab and wild salmon!! Oh, and the loganberry pie too 🙂
