Where to Eat on Phinney Ridge

This used to be a low-key neighborhood for dining. Then—boom. People used to toss around words like “reliable” or “low-key” to describe the concentration of restaurants on Phinney Ridge. The real action was north in Greenwood, or down the hill in Ballard. Over the years, though, a few new spots trickled in to live double lives as neighborhood hangouts that also draw diners from across Seattle.

McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it. Last night, about 80 CID residents and supporters packed the meeting of the International Special Review District (ISRD), the neighborhood’s historic preservation board. Impassioned public comments, handmade protest signs in Chinese and English, and several people in Ronald McDonald-esque clown masks injected the typically sleepy meeting with life.
