Hope you worked up an appetite. Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) is back, running from now until Nov. 6 (so essentially two full weeks). 🍽️
In case you need a reminder, SRW is when restaurants across the city offer special meal deals, which can include $20 lunches or multi-course $35/$50 dinners. It’s a great opportunity to try out a new place or rediscover old favorites.
There are over 200 restaurants and food trucks participating in SRW’s fall edition, with takeout and delivery options, as well as a charitable component.
Begin the search here, but in case you want some highlights, here are some must-tries.
