Great news for PNW donut lovers: Portland’s Voodoo Doughnut is now open in Seattle!
Chances are you’ve tried—or at least heard of—these famous Portland donuts. Voodoo Doughnut first opened in Portland in 2003 and has since become nationally known for its creative and funky flavors. Their artisan donuts are made fresh daily and are often topped with unique designs. They offer custom and vegan options as well.
After a long wait, Voodoo Doughnuts just celebrated their opening date in Seattle! There was a grand opening with a gift for the first people in line.
Read on for the location, opening date, and more!
The Seattle Voodoo Doughnut shop is open in Capitol Hill as of Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. You’ll be able to find the viral donut shop at 1201 Pine. The building is painted “Voodoo Pink” so you can’t miss it! The first 50 people in line when the store officially opened at 8:00 a.m. received a surprise gift and 20% of their sales on opening day will go to nonprofit FareStart.
There was also a soft opening the weekend prior to the grand opening. So if you saw a long line in Capitol Hill over the weekend and continuing through the week, it’s probably because of donuts.
As for the donut shop’s hours, the Seattle location of Voodoo Doughnut is operating on a “almost” 24-hour basis. Their hours are 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Locals often bemoan the quiet night life and lack of late-night eateries in Seattle, so perhaps this will prove to be a positive addition to the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, planning documents were filed with the city for Voodoo to move into the Booker Building on the corner of Pine Street and Minor Avenue over a year ago.
“We’re thrilled to finally bring some Voodoo Magic to Seattle,” said Voodoo Doughnut CEO Chris Schultz at the time. “It’s been many years in the making and the Capitol Hill neighborhood is the perfect site for our first store.”
Voodoo Doughnuts has already expanded beyond its Portland locations to other states including Colorado, Texas, and California. Although there is currently one Voodoo shop in Washington (Vancouver, WA to be specific) it’s about time they come to Seattle.
Although Seattle has no shortage of delicious donut shops, we think the playful designs and flavors of Voodoo Doughnuts (such as the Maple Blazer Blunt and the chili pepper-topped Ring of Fire) will definitely make a splash in the food scene here.
