Voula’s was founded on Sept. 11, 1984, by a Greek immigrant named Voula Vlahos. She came to Seattle in the 1970s and worked in a few restaurants, but eventually wanted her own place. That’s why she bought what was then called the Offshore Café.
An old-school diner along the north side of the Ship Canal is still going strong with a distinctive recipe of tasty breakfasts and lunches, family ownership, loyal local customers, and a surprisingly devoted national fan base.

But it took an hour for the big grill to warm up. Plus, Voula, Sikey, and Grandma were busy trying to get everything ready. So, for those hungry workers, Voula’s just wasn’t ready to serve yet. “Back then, it was just Mom and Sikey in the morning. And so it was like … just wait till everything’s hot, then we’ll take care of you,” Nikos continued. “And so we just kept it going, you know.”
The name “Rose’s” is still visible on the miniature version of the Voula’s building, seen on a fascinating and very colorful mural on the wall in the main dining room. It was painted in 1958 by Gene Buck, a local artist, and man-about-town who Sikey Vlahos said was one of the early customers at Rose’s on Pasadena.
