As I said, Seattle is not a place where you have to go hungry if you know where to go. Almost every area has it’s own food bank services, and most of them will give you temorary assistance no matter where you live and long term assistance if you reside in whichever zip codes they serve.
The University District has a good food bank, which operates five days a week. More information can be found at their website.

Like North Helpline, they provide a lot of staples, and it’s a fasirly comfortable experience. Once you sign up they give you a card based on the number of people in your household, and you are allowed to go through a store like setting with a cart and choose what you want. Sometimes they even have flowers, and other useful household items.
One thing that is really nice about the university districrt food bank is their hours of operation. Some days they run early in the day, and other days they run in the evening which is conveniant for working people that need a little help but have a schedule to keep. Currently they run 10-3 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 3-8 Tuesday and Thursday. Current information about their services can be found at their website.
