The Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle is grieving the loss of Binyam Wolde, the beloved entrepreneur behind the Dirty Dog food cart, who passed away earlier this month at just 44 years old. Wolde's journey began in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he moved to Seattle at the age of 16, subsequently establishing himself as a key figure in the local street food scene. Since its inception in 2010, Dirty Dog has become synonymous with quality and community spirit, serving a diverse array of customers, including Seattle University students and event-goers. In the wake of his passing, a fundraiser has been launched to support his family, highlighting his devotion as a husband and father. Friends and family remember him as a generous mentor and a positive influence in the community, reflecting on the connections he built through his business.

The impact of Wolde's life and work is encapsulated in the sentiment that "through loving kindness, connection, and a belief in one’s dreams, together we can achieve incredible things. " The Dirty Dog stand remains a testament to his legacy, located at 1110 E Pine. Community members are encouraged to honor Wolde's memory by supporting his family during this challenging time.
