1. Brimmer & Heeltap
Ballard
A few years ago, Brimmer & Heeltap started observing Day of the Dead (thanks to a former chef), and it’s become a beloved event. The restaurant sets up an honor wall for anyone who wants to share a photo of a loved one (human or fur baby), replete with candles and space held in their honor. The display runs through the first week in November. Swing by for a comforting bowl of corn soup with spice butter or a pork chop with fermented greens, and raise a glass (owner Jen Doak’s wine list is always inspired) to pay homage to the loved ones who’ve passed before us.
