Mendocino Farms, a California-born fast casual concept serving seasonal sandwiches and salads, is opening two Seattle units next year

The brand's flagship Seattle location will reside in the South Lake Union neighborhood at 2118 Westlake Ave., and is slated to open by early 2023. The second restaurant will follow in the fall at downtown Rainier Square at 401 Union St.

"As champions of fueling people to be the best version of themselves, we were drawn to Seattle's affinity for wellbeing and adventure," Kevin Miles, CEO of Mendocino Farms, said in a company press release. "We have a vision to be the foundation for this lifestyle with our nourishing, high quality meals and are having fun infusing a taste of Seattle into our upcoming locations. We want to bring the community together in a space reflective of what they care about, from the fresh, flavorful ingredients we use to the local artwork on our walls."

Founded in Southern California in 2005 by husband-and-wife team Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen, Mendocino Farms has 50 locations in California and Texas.
