"I saw that Salt & Straw will be giving out scoops from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Marvin’s Gardens in Ballard as part of local vaccine incentive events." - Gabe Guarente
"Cold weather be damned, there's going to be a new scoops shop popping up in Kirkland soon: Salt & Straw will open its first Eastside location at Totem Lake next Friday, November 20, marking its third Seattle-area outpost after Ballard and Capitol Hill, which typically draw long lines. The Portland-based franchise is known for crowd-pleasing flavors such as Chocolate Gooey Brownie and Honey Lavender, along with seasonal offerings like Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey and Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecans. Since opening its first two Seattle locations in 2018, the shop has also introduced ice cream options specific to the area in collaboration with Elm Coffee, Westland Whiskey, Beecher’s Cheese, Ellenos Yogurt, and other local businesses. Totem Lake’s Salt & Straw will be the first free-standing building among the franchise’s shops, focused mostly on to-go orders and pints, though there will be a covered outdoor space with a fire pit." - Gabe Guarente
"Fellow ice cream purveyor Salt and Straw, the Portland-based company with Seattle locations in Ballard and Capitol Hill, announced it would temporarily close all locations across the country, citing the safety of its staff as the top concern." - Gabe Guarente
"Salt and Straw recently opened a location in Ballard, Seattle, known for its unique ice cream flavors and creative ingredients. The Seattle location is similar to other Salt and Straws, maintaining a selection of staple flavors while introducing local specialties." - Tim Forster
