A jar of raw milk, a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie, and a heap of closeout coffee can all land in the same basket at one small roadside market in Washington. Better yet, the total at the register tends to stay surprisingly friendly. The pies are made locally and wait in...

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)

Thurston Co. dessert shop will close storefront. Celebrate the holidays downtown

The owners of the Nom Nom Stop , a five-year-old Lacey-based business known for its sweets, including cheesecake on a stick, have decided not to renew the lease on their College Street storefront. They plan to shift the business to food trucks. They will remain at 1107 College St. SE through the end of the year, and then go mobile, owners Tiberio Serbanescu and Ada Gheorghiu announced on social media and explained in an interview on Wednesday. One goal: to reduce their overhead costs, such as the cost of rent and utilities. “We realized that actually the food trucks bring in more revenue than the store,” said Gheorghiu on Wednesday. The business will have three trucks, Serbanescu said. Two of them will serve sweet and savory items, such as cheesecake on a stick, loaded hot dogs and Romanian-style skinless sausages. The last truck will serve espresso, coffee and specialty drinks, he said. Once they go mobile, where will customers be able to find them? One possible location is at the Lacey Depot at 5500 Pacific Ave. SE., a site that already features a collection of food trucks, Tiberio said. Other sites are still to be determined.

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

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.
