At just about any eatery you go to in the city of Bellingham, you can find if not one, but several vegetarian options for your cruelty-free heart. The city’s subdued excitement may have to do with the city’s obsession with health and well-being; many commute on bike, or on foot, the local co-ops are always busy, and there is always something to eat for vegans, vegetarians, and people with dietary restrictions. I committed to vegetarianism a little over five years ago – I have an extreme shellfish allergy and have been without red meat since the eighth grade. I wanted to cut out fast food and “eat clean.” I thought going vegetarian would open new doors to my health and to a world of food that I didn’t know much about. Check out what vegetarian restaurants are offered around Bellingham with this piece from Odyssey, here.
