"Some of Seattle’s finest ice cream is no longer: the Georgetown scoop shop Sweet Bumpas had been a permanent fixture on the city’s frozen-dairy scene for about 18 months, with pastry chef-owner Matt Bumpas making his name with creative flavors like cinnamon-basil, corn cookie, and black rice and ginger after years of pop-ups and farmers-market stalls; he found a space in Equinox Studios in summer 2017 (taking over from popsicle-makers Six Strawberries) but has now closed as Bumpas is returning home to Durham, North Carolina after 18 years in Seattle and says he plans "to sweeten up the East Coast soon." - Tim Forster
