Help Nick Chiaro Recover from a Tragic Car Crash
Donation protected
Local Seattle chef and avid climber Nick Chiaro was driving home from his job at Driftwood restaurant on November 4th, 2023 when he was struck in a head-on collision by a speeding vehicle that lost control. The other driver tragically lost their life due to the injuries they sustained from the accident, and Nick was transported to Harborview Hospital.
Gratefully Nick sustained no life-threatening injuries, but his foot was crushed in the accident and requires surgery. He will be unable to work for several months while he undergoes treatment & physical therapy.
In addition to the physical injuries, Nick has also lost his vehicle and faces recovering from the emotional blow of this sudden travesty.
The former Canlis Sous Chef is a respected member of the Seattle culinary community, having worked in kitchens across the city. He came to the Pacific Northwest five years ago, after working in kitchens from New York City to San Francisco for a decade. His love of climbing & the outdoors has brought him to many of the epic vistas our state has to offer, and he hopes to recover quickly so he can return to his favorite hobby.
