Imagine entering a space where you're surrounded with delicious and diverse foods from all over the world available for purchase.
This vision - the Tukwila Village Food Hall - will be the first of its kind in South King County.
Currently under construction, the Food Innovation Network (FIN) plans to open this 2,900-square-foot facility in spring 2020.
The Tukwila Village Food Hall includes:
- a commercial kitchen with four cook stations,
- a community dining area,
- five food retail stalls, with one stall assigned for cooking demos and food and art pop-ups.
The project provides twenty food businesses access to affordable commercial kitchen space. Also, eight entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to sell their food on site and build a strong customer base.
A program of Global to Local, Food Innovation Network helps entrepreneurs develop and build their own food businesses. It provides training, mentoring, affordable kitchen space, and customer connections. FIN's mission is to:
- enhance the local food system,
- increase access to healthy food,
- create pathways for success, and
- support resource- and idea-sharing that engages the diverse communities of SeaTac/Tukwila and South King County.
FIN uses a collective impact model to bring community perspective and organizational expertise together in collaboration.
