Business of the Month

Roosevelt Station Vet Care

Roosevelt Station Vet Care, located at 6800 Roosevelt Way NE, is our August Business of the Month. Founded in 2018 by Drs. Dittrich, Meyers, and Andresen, the practice emphasizes fear-free, communication-focused care—illustrated through longtime patient Abby, a nearly 20-year-old neighborhood cat.

Rain City Burgers

A spotlight on Rain City Burgers, the Roosevelt burger joint founded in 2010 by Dil Maharjan. Known for its hyper-local menu, community ties, and Seahawks-themed decor, the restaurant continues serving the neighborhood with burgers, sandwiches, and catering.

Nook and Cranny Books

Nook and Cranny Books, just steps from Roosevelt near Cowen Park, is a community-driven bookstore featuring diverse genres, queer lit, BIPOC authors, and translated works. Owner Maren Comendant also hosts book clubs, open mic nights, and trivia — all are welcome.

Our Business of the Month for May 2026 is JoyCuts, a hair and color salon for men and women run by Virginia Siler.

An Nam Pho

An Nam Pho, a cozy Vietnamese restaurant on Roosevelt Way since 2014, serves phở made with 100% ribeye beef, banh mi, and more. Owner Ken, from a family of restaurateurs, is taking over direct involvement of the Roosevelt location starting May 1st.

Chance Encounter Games

Former engineer Dante Santos traded underwater robotics for something he loved even more: bringing people together through storytelling and adventure. His shop, Chance Encounter Games, at 6317½ Roosevelt Way NE, is part game store, part community haven — and it’s celebrating its first anniversary in June. Stop in and see what the magic is about!

Salvatore Ristorante Italiano

Since 1988, Salvatore Anania has been feeding Roosevelt — and getting to know the people who walk through his door. His Italian recipes are rooted in his southern Italian hometown, and his regulars now bring their grandchildren. Some things are worth discovering for yourself.

Ravenna Refills

Looking to reduce plastic in your daily routine? Ravenna Refills, our January Business of the Month, is a plastic-free general store offering B Corp-certified home and personal-care products. With 60 refillable items, community swaps, and a neighborhood pantry, this local gem makes sustainable living easy. Stop by and see for yourself!

Sunlight Cafe

Celebrating nearly 50 years in Roosevelt, Sunlight Cafe proves vegetarian comfort food can win over everyone. This family-owned gem offers more than affordable meals—its cozy atmosphere and genuine warmth create the connection and soul many restaurants have lost. No wonder it’s the neighborhood’s oldest dining establishment.

Roosevelt Vacuum

For nearly 40 years, three generations of Gloria’s family have kept Roosevelt’s vacuums running from the same location. Gloria combines her grandfather’s repair expertise with deep neighborhood connections, delighting in serving second and third-generation customers who trust her skill at solving complex repair problems.
