- If you haven’t been to Zippy’s Giant Burger, you are clearly missing out on one of the best burgers in Seattle. Zippy’s opened and was such a raging success they moved to a new spot in 2011 and now they’ve expanded to a second location in Georgetown. But you are lucky enough to have it in your backyard! Don’t forget to give the onion rings a try. You won’t be sorry.
- Westcrest Park is ginormous with a play area and hiking trails, has a great view of the Seattle skyline and a dog park for your fur babies!
- We’re always on the hunt for good pizza. Seattle isn’t great at pizza. Proletariat Pizza is rumored to be one of the best joints in Seattle if you’re looking for real, cheesy, saucy goodness–none of this fancy wood oven stuff here, just straight up sloppy slices that will make any East Coaster feel at home.
- When you’re stuffed to the gills with pizza, head down the street to Company, your neighborhood pub. Great beer and whiskey selections make for a great nightcap.
- Need a festive delicious dessert for any and all occasions? Then stop by the Salvadorean Bakery for one of their amazing Tre Leche Cakes. These crowd pleasing cakes have been served at numerous Chez Diva functions over the years. And they never fail to get completely devoured!
- The West Seattle Blog is a incredible resources for anyone living in the Southwest corner of the city. It is super active and up-to-date with everything from orca sightings to lost pets to news about school activities or new restaurants.
