Built by community

We served over ten thousand meals and yaupon drinks at events around Seattle to refine our offerings before deciding they were good enough for a permanent home. Over the years, this historic building housed a tiny inn, the Georgetown Truckstop, and Lect’s Soup Stop. We’re proud to carry on the legacy of independent businesses in Georgetown, and to continue serving our community!
