Local institution

is celebrating the launch of its first line of bagels, days after another Portland namesake, Kettleman Bagel Co.,

Einstein Noah.

Its new Good Seed Halo bagels – boiled before baked – are available at Northwest grocery stores that already carry the brand.

The six-year-old company will host an invite-only launch party tonight at

on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard. It announced the move earlier this year and tested the whole-grain bagels at the Portland Farmer's Market.

Safeway, Whole Foods, Metropolitan Markets, Zupan's, Fred Meyer, New Seasons and Winco stock the bagels.
