Seattle bagel shop heading to New York competition after sweeping the West
Seattle’s Hey Bagel was selected to compete at New York BagelFest, joining more than 25 acclaimed bagel makers from 10 states and five countries, according to BagelFest. The shop earned its invitation after sweeping Best Bagel and Best Bagel Sourdough at BagelFest West.
Hey Bagel, located in University Village, makes all of its bagels from 100% organic flour, 50% of which is sourced from Washington, according to the business’s website. Every bagel is vegan and sourdough-based. The shop also offers a lineup of house-made schmears, including a coconut-based vegan cream cheese, spicy scallion, chili crisp, strawberry graham cracker, vegan scallion, raspberry curry, and hot honey.
Hey Bagel owner Andrew Rubinstein, who also founded Rubinstein Bagels, told The Seattle Times he was nervous weeks before BagelFest West.
“I was worried I would be embarrassed,” Rubinstein said.
Now, with a regional win under his belt, Rubinstein is heading to New York to compete for the national title.

I think Howdy Bagel has the superior bagel personally, but I'll still root for the home team in this competition :)
I moved here and went to the bagel places on the recommendation lists. I went to the top one, asked for a dozen ETs, and the person working there didn't know what an ET was.
I'm just sayin I've been hurt before, but I'm ready to try again because making em suuuuuuuuuucks
I often go to Tacoma on Sundays to visit friends and Howdy Bagel is closed on Sundays. I am disappoint.
