A need nobody was filling.

Years ago, Justina saw the same thing happening over and over: talented, ambitious people with incredible food ideas and absolutely nowhere to make them. Commercial kitchen space was scarce, expensive, and out of reach for someone just starting out. Nobody was building a real solution.

So she decided to build one herself. The idea was simple but powerful — create an environment where aspiring restaurant owners, caterers, bakers, and food truck dreamers could come together in a community and build their dreams side by side.

That first kitchen became two. Two became four. And along the way, more than 100 food businesses have launched, grown, and produced under our roofs — from farmers market vendors and food trucks to nationally-recognized brands.

Today, Seattle Commissary Kitchen is still family-owned and operated by Justina and John, and that family spirit is woven into everything — from how we treat members to how our team shows up every single day.
