It s a comfort food classic often taken for granted given how ubiquitous it is on menus: a good burger.
And if you want more from your burger than the basics, don t worry: Seattle has you covered there. Finding a gourmet creation beyond a patty and cheese might actually be a little easier in the Emerald City than elsewhere given the city s eclectic food scene that is always pushing the boundaries.
From the no-frills sandwiches to the most extravagant towers of beef, we ve rounded up 13 of Seattle s best burger spots to sink your teeth into on National Burger Day, because we all deserve to treat ourselves this Friday.
On April fifteenth, at 8:42 p.m., I had a drink. Not on Zoom. Not alone on my couch. Not outside, under a heat lamp. Nope. Inside, on a stool, at the actual, physical bar. For the first time in more than a year. To sit shoulder to shoulder with friends again, chatting with the bartender about esoteric spirits, hearing the laughter of strangers it felt new and raw. Even with the masked staff and social distancing, the experience was unexpectedly life-affirming. All of a sudden, I felt like me again.
Perhaps it was what I was drinking at Viridian, an Asian American bar in Oakland, one of the places on this year’s Best Bars list; many of the cocktails nodded to flavors of Asian candies my dad would surprise me with when he returned from grocery runs in New York’s Chinatown. But I suspect that I would have been hit with joy if it was any drink at any bar that had reopened its doors to do what bars do best: hospitality.
Retail often treats plus-size clothing as an afterthought, but some locals are making it big.

Purchase a strappy bodysuit or pair of pastel boyshorts from Tacoma lingerie company Bawdy Love and you may do a double take: The website doesnât list a single size option. But this is no one-size-fits-whom-it-may situation. Soon after ordering customers receive instructions for taking their own measurements, which Bawdy Love uses to whip up a custom garment: thicker straps, a higher waist, a tailored fit to each body.
