Around the Sound: U District $4 Food Walk

SEATTLE — Feeling hungry? Seattle’s University District has an event to satisfy every appetite this Saturday at the U District $4 Food Walk!

If you have four bucks, you’re in luck! Sixty different vendors will be participating at this year’s food walk from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Yasuaki Saito is the owner and operator of Saint Bread, and his shop is a participating vendor this year.

“It’s one of those things where you’re trying to express to people who are part of the food walk who haven’t been to your shop yet, what you’re about and how you treat flavors,” said Saito.

Saint Bread is a fairly new bakery offering delicious pastries, sandwiches, and drinks. Saito says the U District $4 Food Walk gives people a chance to try out shops they may not normally venture out to.

“To make sure that people are exposed and they’re able to visit different businesses on the walk, it’s good for people like ourselves because we’re kind of off the beaten path,” said Saito.

Saito’s shop has narrowed down its offerings for the food walk. Now just days away, it’s all about crunching the numbers, and what to order to adjust to the new crowds. For Saito, being a part of the community is what resonates most.

“So we’re just interested in the U-District partnership being able to feed students, employees at UW, teachers, doctors, nurses, continuing that and offering them something fun at the neighborhood food walk,” said Saito.
