More global food options

Spice Bridge Food Hall vendors rotate throughout the week. Some food stalls won’t be open when you visit; you’ll have to go back over and over! On our next visit, we are looking forward to trying options from these menus:

Afella Jollof Catering offers Gambian and Senegalese food.
WUHA serves up an often-changing menu of Ethiopian-American dishes. It is currently only offering pre-orders to pick up on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

If you go …

Find it: Spice Bridge Food Hall is located in Tukwila Village at 14200 Tukwila International Blvd., Ste. 141, in Tukwila.

Hours: The food hall is open Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–8 p.m., and Sundays, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; closed Mondays. Note that a selection of food vendors operates each day on a rotating schedule. If you have your heart set on trying a certain stall, check the days it’s open.

Parking: There is free parking in the lot between Spice Bridge and the Tukwila Library.

Cost: Entrees cost about $8–$18; appetizers, sides and desserts run $3–$6.

Nearby fun:

Tukwila Village features some cool outdoor art, including a giant globe fountain.
Right next door, the Tukwila Library is open Monday–Saturday. Pick up some new reads or stop in for family events at this branch.
Go for an after-lunch stroll at Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden (free admission), a peaceful gem just a 4-minute drive away.
When the season is right, check out the Tukwila Village Farmers Market, where families can buy fresh produce grown locally by refugees and immigrants; it is open Wednesday afternoons mid-June through mid-October.
