Wally's Northwest Soul opened its new storefront in Seattle’s Central District last month, bringing delicious Pacific Northwest soul food and a welcoming atmosphere to the historic Seattle neighborhood. The grand opening marked a major development in the community, filling the former space of the beloved Jackson’s Catfish Corner after its closure earlier this year. 

Owner-Chef Wally’s passion for cooking began at a young age, and he developed his own signature culinary style with the help of his grandmother. While her Southern roots influenced his cooking, Wally infused his technique with local flavors and ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. His menu exemplifies this combination, featuring catfish, turkey bowls, turkey legs, jambalaya, po' boys, fried lobster, and specialty wings and pastas, with many ingredients sourced from Black-owned vendors.

Beyond food, the restaurant is committed to the community through partnerships aimed to uplift youth. These initiatives provide local young men and women with self-sufficiency, job opportunities, and an understanding of finance that they otherwise might not receive before adulthood. The restaurant itself is designed to be a community hub, welcoming everyone to come in and enjoy themselves over games, TV, and events.
