"Ms. Helen’s, Seattle’s most famous soul food restaurant, is working to return to its Central District location. Founded by Helen Coleman in 1970, it became a neighborhood institution and a hub of the city's Black community. After several setbacks, including bankruptcy and damage from the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, the restaurant is being revived by Henton, Coleman’s daughter. Despite gentrification and financial challenges, efforts are underway to reopen the restaurant as Ms. Helen’s Soul Food Bistro by November, with ongoing fundraisers to support the project." - Harry Cheadle
