EMMETT WATSON'S OYSTER BAR
-
In 2024, Brian Trask (Oglala Lakota) became the owner of Emmett Watson’s Oyster Bar, a historic restaurant in Pike Place Market designated as Seattle’s first oyster bar. Since taking over, Brian has made a powerful change—sourcing clams, salmon, and most oysters from Indigenous suppliers, with a goal to eventually source all food products locally.
