When friends visit Seattle (remember friends? remember visiting?) and ask where they should eat, I offer them a list of the restaurants that best embody Seattle’s culinary scene, like Taylor Shellfish’s Oyster Bars and Archipelago. If a local friend asks for the best restaurants in the city, I might think up places that cook the most incredible food or would meet the moment for a special occasion, like Altura or JuneBaby. But over the last year, as the pandemic decimated the industry, I created a different list of restaurants I love: the ones I’d be most sad about if they closed.
