Washington Has 6 Butcher Shops Where the Meat Beats the Grocery Store and Costs Less

One butcher shop on this list never locks its doors. It runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a midnight steak craving actually has somewhere to go. That detail hooked me fast. Then I learned another shop sells exotic game next to its jerky, and a third keeps homemade salsa beside the premium cuts.

This Old-School Washington Diner Bakes Cinnamon Rolls So Big The Whole Family Splits One

The cinnamon roll comes to the table so big that the icing visibly cascades down the sides. That one pastry has racked up more mentions than anything else on the menu. Not the hash browns, not the chicken fried steak, the cinnamon roll. The diner serving it has been around...

This Washington Restaurant Has Fed The Same Hometown Families For Generations And Still Packs The House

One pot of chili has been feeding the same neighborhood since 1922. Even the secret recipe is famously guarded, with one person said to know all of it. That kind of loyalty is rare in Washington, or anywhere. The menu still hangs on an old-school board with plastic letters. You...

This Retro Washington Drive-In Pairs Hand-Cut Fries With Shakes Made From Snoqualmie Ice Cream

The ice cream in the shakes at this little burger stand is custom made by a beloved Washington creamery. That detail alone made me sit up, because shakes usually play backup to the burger and here they might steal the show. The fries get serious respect too, since they are...

Grandma-Style Chicken And Dumplings Still Simmer All Day At This Small-Town Washington Cafe

Hamburger gravy ladled over homemade biscuits is on the breakfast menu at a small diner in Washington, and that alone deserves a second look. Most places stick with sausage gravy, but this one goes its own cozy direction. The doors open at 7 a.m. every single day. Chicken fried steak,...

The Burgers At This Little Washington Cafe Are So Enormous, You Can Barely Take A Bite

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,...

New Pierce County grocery store opens soon in former Rite Aid building

A new grocery store in the works for over a year in Pierce County is set to open this month. In a social media post this week, Grocery Outlet announced the store at 22201 Meridian E. in Graham will have its grand opening at 7 a.m. Nov. 19. Monday was the first day of stocking and “setting the store,” according to the post. In early October, the store announced more than 300 people had applied to work at the store. The News Tribune first reported on plans for the store in October 2025 . The building, formerly a Rite Aid, was purchased in May 2025 by an LLC affiliated with Dickerhoof Properties of Corvallis, Oregon. Dickerhoof owns/manages retail property across multiple states. Plans for the Graham site were submitted near the end of July 2025. Another Dickerhoof Properties-affiliated property in Belfair (also a former Rite Aid) saw the opening of a Grocery Outlet last fall. A third new Grocery Outlet that’s been planned for the former Big Lots site at 5401 100th St. SW, Suite 102, is still in the works. Kelie Kahler, media representative for the City of Lakewood, told The News Tribune via email late Tuesday that: “The

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.

Since 1938, The Iron Horse? No, Elmer’s? Try Luna Park Cafe In West Seattle

Some restaurants try to look old. Others simply refuse to change, and that stubbornness becomes the whole point. Out in West Seattle, on a busy road that carries commuters toward the bridge, sits a diner that seems to have hit pause on the calendar sometime around the era of poodle skirts and chrome bumpers. Crowds still line up for it on weekend mornings.

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.

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.

New wood-fired pizza restaurant opening this weekend in East Pierce County

Bonney Lake’s newest family-friendly restaurant will open Saturday, Nov. 7, with a ribbon-cutting at 11 a.m. and a raffle to win free pizza for a year. Cascadia Pizza Co ., which started in Enumclaw as a single food truck in 2015, has partnered with a young but ambitious employee, 22-year-old Jacob Andrew, on the new franchise in the Route 410 plaza just east of the roundabout at 224th Avenue East. The company operates four other restaurants in the region and in recent years expanded to franchising in other states including Idaho, Oregon and Arizona with another in Texas en route. The Bonney Lake location will be its first franchise in Washington state, TNT Diner previously reported, and the first in Pierce County but likely not the last. “I started working at Cascadia when I was 16, and I never imagined that six years later I’d be opening my own location,” he said in a press release this week. “I’ve grown up with this company in so many ways. To have the opportunity to take everything I’ve learned and build something of my own is pretty incredible.” The brand is known for wood-fired pies (10-inch personal, $12-$17, or 14-inch large, $21-$29.50)
