The fall harvest season at Washington farms and vineyards is always an inspiring time for us – especially this year! We spent the spring and summer planting and nurturing a variety of projects and partnerships and they are all coming to fruition in the next few months.

Aerlume
Aerlume Seattle
We are thrilled to announce the name and management team for our new restaurant, Aerlume. We began construction in August and plan to open at 2003 Western Ave, Suite C in late 2018. Perched on the hillside above Elliott Bay and steps from Seattle’s Pike Place Market, Aerlume shines with light and sweeping Puget Sound views. The name was inspired by a summer afternoon spent together at a Walla Walla, WA farm when we discussed the importance of using and preserving the full bounty of seasonal ingredients – from the juicy, sun-ripened tomato to the fragrant tomato leaf. The name is also nod to the value of an heirloom within a family and the farming community. It reflects our focus on quality ingredients and captures the essence of light and open air found in the restaurant space itself. Executive chef Maggie Trujillo will lead the culinary team and general manager, Noel Romero, will run the front of the house. Aerlume proudly partners with local farms and providers, including a custom farming program at Fall City Farms managed by Amanda Marino, as well as Sound Sustainable Farms, Tonnemaker Farms, Frog Hollow Farms in Walla Walla and others.
