Environmental Stewardship

Sustainable, Carbon-Positive Hotel in Seattle

Rooted in Stewardship

At Populus, a deep reverence for nature and dedication to the planet drives us to continually redefine what it means to integrate bold solutions. This commitment extends to the guest experience with the One Night One Tree initiative and sourcing food from regenerative farms and ranches.

We view food as both a reflection of our relationship with the environment and a bridge between the people who grow it and those who enjoy it.

Whenever possible, we work with farms, ranches, fishmongers, and producers local to our region—while also partnering with like-minded businesses beyond it who are creating positive change in their communities. As the food system evolves, so does our approach to sourcing and menu design.
