Seattle stops on the Washington Ice Cream Trail

Some of Seattle’s go-to places for frozen treats are participating in the statewide tour of locally owned shops serving gelato, frozen custard, yogurt, ice cream, and soft serve.

A stemmed cocktail glass holds prossecco with a scoop of orange ice cream. The glass looks frosted from the chill and the ice cream melts into a foamy consistency at the top.

Over 90 shops across the state are participating in the Washington Ice Cream Trail.

Sunday, July 21 is National Ice Cream Day — to celebrate, The Dairy Farmers of Washington are launching the first ever Washington State Ice Cream Trail.

The statewide celebration of frozen treats is featuring three iconic Seattle stops:

  • Hellenika Cultured Gelato | This Pike Place Market creamery has roots in Greek cuisine and utilizes dairy traditions passed down through generations.
  • Nutty Squirrel | Stop by the Italian ice cream shop’s Magnolia location at 2425 33rd Ave. W. for delicious, small-batch flavors.
  • Shug’s Soda Fountain & Ice Cream | What’s better than an ice cold soda and a fresh scoop of ice cream on a hot summer’s day? Mixing the two together for a decadent float, of course.

Participants can enter to win a $50 gift card raffle by following @wadairyfarmers and the participating shop of your choice on Instagram.
