I really enjoy discovering quirky little restaurants and drive-ins. My latest discovery is Alpen Drive-In in Sultan. I actually heard about Alpen Drive-In through a friend, but I had never tried it out myself. It’s a small fast food restaurant with a huge...
The Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery (better known as the GAR Cemetery) on Capitol Hill was established for veterans who fought in the deadliest war in American history — the Civil War. While I know it is a little strange to write a post about a cemetery,...
Rachel’s Ginger Beer has been spreading through Seattle restaurants, cafes, shops and farmers markets for a few years. Now, the popular soda has its own home in a new flagship store at Pike Place Market. Admirers and soon-to-be-admirers are able to kick back,...
