Best Cocktail Bar: Smith Tower Observatory Bar

This article originally appeared in the November/December 2026 issue of Seattle magazine. Located on the 35th floor of the historic Smith Tower, the Observatory Bar serves up classic cocktails—think martinis and old fashioneds—and seasonal signatures inspired by the time of year. Barrel-aged favorites are a throwback to the Prohibition era, bites are shareable, and the city views can’t be beat.

Best Burger Joint: Great State Burger

This article originally appeared in the November/December 2026 issue of Seattle magazine. Sometimes, the best thing s are the most straightforward. When it comes to a burger, most people don’t care about the bells and whistles—it’s attention to ingredients and quality preparation that truly stands out. At Great State Burger, that means using beef from Pure Country Farms, a farm in Ephrata that prides itself on grass-fed cows without antibiotics, hormones, or stimulants. It arrives fresh, is prepped and grilled in-house, then served in varying configurations, from a plain cheeseburger with ketchup to the Boss Burger: two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, organic lettuce, pickles, and the brand’s own State Sauce. Recently, Great State Burger opened a location in the newly renovated C Concourse at Sea-Tac Airport, so you can grab a burger and fries before you fly.

New Capitol Hill Spot RUAM Skips Pad Thai, Bets Big on Thai Noodle Soups

There is a new Thai restaurant on Capitol Hill that will not serve you pad thai, and it will not apologize for it. RUAM, which opened at 340 15th Ave E in the space once occupied by Bites of Bangkok, has built its entire menu around noodle soups, dry noodles, and rice bowls, leaving the dish most Americans associate with Thai food off the table entirely.

The Restaurant at Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie, Washington, Serves Breakfast With Views of Snoqualmie Falls

At this breakfast table, honey gets its own show, and it even has a name: Honey from Heaven. The honey comes from the lodge’s own apiary. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then comes the coffee. Order a plain cup, and the table fills with milk,...

These 10 Washington Greek Spots Pile Gyros So High You’ll Need Both Hands

One Snohomish gyro spot packs in so much meat that some diners can’t finish the thing. That’s the kind of problem I’d happily volunteer to solve. Across Washington, a handful of Greek counters seem to treat pita bread as a mild suggestion. Lamb and beef come shaved straight off the spit.
