Cafe Amore — in Belltown on 5th. Good Italian, with a few explicitly vegan options. No vegan dessert though.
Five Spot
The 5 Point Cafe — 24 hour breakfast with vegan options in Belltown
Mandarin Chef — U District, 50th and the Ave. Awesome Chinese food, especially the eggplant.
McMenamins on Roy in Queen Anne, very close to Seattle Center, has quite a bit of vegan food (including delicious cajun tater tots), good cocktails, whiskey tasting flights, and also brews their own beer. Late night happy hour starting at 10pm with $4 veggie burgers, $2 tater tots, $3.25 pints...
Turnpike Pizza has Daiya vegan cheese and pretty decent pizza.
Pike Place Chowder has vegan chowder.
http://www.missionbar.com in West Seattle looks like it's a lot of fun and very good for a group (of vegans even).
Northwest Totem Cellars in Redmond looks awesome: they're a tasting room with vegan snacks.
Tilth in Wallingford looks very interesting, has a vegetarian tasting menu.
Dish — tofu scramble
Pasta Fresca (bad?)
Uncle Mike's BBQ — has bbq tofu

Thai

Starting a separate category for this since there's so many places.

Jai Thai in Fremont has good pumpkin curry.
Tawon Thai in Fremont was not bad but doesn't really cut it in this city. I had the fresh rolls which were weirdly huge, and massaman curry, which was much too oily and had clumps of unmixed red pepper. Nice little beer selection though, and everything reasonably priced.
Araya — vegan thai in the U District
Kaosamai — fantastic place in Fremont

His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god. But then, he never claimed not to be a god. Circum- stances being what they were, neither admission could be of any benefit. Silence, though, could. It was in the days of the rains that their prayers went up, not from the fingering of knotted prayer cords or the spinning of prayer wheels, but from the great pray-machine in the monastery of Ratri, goddess of the Night. The high-frequency prayers were directed upward through the atmosphere and out beyond it, passing into that golden cloud called the Bridge of the Gods, which circles the entire world, is seen as a bronze rainbow at night and is the place where the red sun becomes orange at midday. Some of the monks doubted the orthodoxy of this prayer technique...
