Over 100 restaurants and bars joined the fundraiser “Seattle Stands with Immigrants,” which benefits the “Northwest Immigrant Rights Project”. The NWIRP is one of 10 advocacy organizations that filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government for shutting down four programs providing legal assistance to immigrants at the end of January. Each restaurant donates a portion of sales to NWIRP, which provides free legal services, education, and advocacy to immigrants locally. Just one of these restaurants was taste-tested and reviewed by Seattle Prep Students.
Travis Rosenthal bought Agua Verde Café in 2019 and made it his own. He knocked down walls to open the waterfront view and added a 13-seat bar. The Agua Verde Marina Cantina was also added down by the water on the east side of the Café. The Café serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with both vegan and vegetarian options; to-go, to dine in, or enjoy boatside on a Seattle summer day.
