What is the Seattle Restaurant Week passport?
This year's SRW features a new Give a Meal Passport, featuring restaurants donating free meals or proceeds to Good Food Kitchens or other community kitchen organizations.
You can sign up for a digital passport online. The pass operates as a mobile website and uses GPS technology to check into participating locations. Here's how to log locations:
- After arriving at a restaurant, select the location profile from the map or list.
- Click the "Check-In" button under the "Things To Do" part of the profile page.
- Click "Check-In" again and validate your location in the app.
Checking into locations automatically enters you into the prize drawing and each restaurant can only be logged once. The more locations you log, the more entries you receive for the prize drawing.
The Seattle Restaurant Week will give away tickets to the James Beard Foundation's Taste America: Seattle event, held on Nov. 1 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle. Drawing for the prize winner will be held on Oct. 29.
