2009 Dining

A variety of food options await you at the University of Washington.

Restaurants
University Avenue, or “The Ave” as the students call it, is the place to find a variety of reasonably priced restaurants, coffee shops, and pubs. Gould Hall (conference venue) is located at the south end of “The Ave” and the residence halls are a 5-10 minute walk.

On campus dining
Eleven 01 is a beautiful new dining facility which features a variety of dining concepts and a convenience store/espresso bar. It is located at the base of Terry Hall and adjacent to Lander Hall, where the majority of conference attendees will be housed.

Coffee
Two sandwich/coffee shops are directly across the street from Gould Hall.
Café Solstice is a great Seattle-style coffee shop located 2 blocks up “The Ave”.

Meal hosts
New for the conference! Based on feedback from previous conferences, we would like to provide more opportunities for you to meet other cohousers. Acknowledging that “breaking bread” is the best way to break the ice, we have organized dinner groups to explore some of Seattle’s great restaurants.

“Meal Hosts” will be available at lunch and dinner to lead groups to great nearby restaurants (moderate to inexpensive) – max 12 people per group. At dinner, the Meal Hosts will lead groups to different neighborhoods to sample some of Seattle’s best restaurants (moderate price range).

You need not be a local to be a Meal Host, we will provide the restaurant location, map, and walking/bus route. To volunteer to be a Meal Host, contact Volunteer Coordinator Kristin Wells at Kristin [at] daybreakcohousing [dot] org
