According to this report (by PETA), "PETA Names Seattle One of the Most Vegetarian- and Vegan-Friendly Cities"
Granted, I knew a lot more vegans and vegetarians in Seattle than I know here in CA. And if PETA was talking about sheer population, I'd be inclined to agree.
But anyone who has tried to go Vegan/Vegetarian in Seattle and eat out regularly knows how hard it can be, especially if you're vegan. Now, what's nice is that a couple of the Vietnamese restaurants I went to (Green Leaf, Lemon Grass) and my personal favorite Anapurna all had vegan/vegetarian options, and Indian/Ethiopian restaurants tend to have a vegetarian splatter you can order. But no one wants to eat Indian, ethiopian, and vietnamese exclusivly for the rest of their life (well...).
I remember going out randomly into Seattle to find a new restaurant with my ex and eat, and we had to skip several because the only vegetarian options any of them had was a salad, hold the beef.
This article leads me to two possible conclusions; either PETA didn't do their homework on Seattle, or the US is really lagging behind in the vegetarian culture.
