Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Snohomish

"Ballard’s roots are as a Scandinavian fishing community and those roots shine through at The Walrus and the Carpenter – a clever name for a place that specializes in super fresh oysters. The menu also features non-oyster seafood, ranging from salmon to sardines, and changes daily to showcase the freshest seafood the restaurant can get. The restaurant itself is cute and cozy… and popular."

"When you’re ready for dinner, retrace your steps to Ballard Avenue and wait in line for the city’s best oyster bar at the superb The Walrus and the Carpenter. Bars in Ballard are among the city’s best, so take a tipple at Noble Fir or King’s Hardware, and drink as the anglers once did on these very streets."

"website | neighborhood: Ballard | 4743 Ballard Ave NW | best for: oysters and small plates. This Chef Renee Erickson spot is one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in North Seattle. Lucky for this article, it also just so happens to be a fish restaurant!"

"You can paddle your kayak or drive your boat straight to Westward’s dock and then relax in one of the Adirondack chairs lining the coast overlooking Lake Union and wait for the waiter to bring you a glass of wine while you try to decide whether to go for the salmon gravlax tartine or the wood-fired striped mullet. While Westward’s dining room is lovely, with large windows and tasteful nautical décor, their outdoor patio is so wonderful that it is usually packed – the view is that spectacular. There is an atmosphere of a celebration, with colorful umbrellas during the day and distant sparkling city lights at night."

"Restaurants North Broadway. Overlooking Seattle’s Lake Union, Westward shows off all the goodies that the Pacific Northwest has to offer in every single dish. The venue also happens to be a fantastic destination for a romantic evening, during which lovers can gaze at the sunset from one of the adirondack chairs overlooking the lake."

"Set on the northern shore of Lake Union—a body of water the size of Monaco—this rustic-chic, nautical-themed restaurant offers dazzling views of the Space Needle and downtown skyline. Its menu blends Mediterranean flavors with local bounty: Expect..."

"It’s easy to say the charm of this serene Eastlake dining room is all about Taichi Kitamura, the genial presence behind the sushi bar. But that would do a disservice to his carefully sourced seasonal seafood, not to mention composed plates, like rich black cod glazed in miso or chawanmushi layered with crabmeat. In matters of sushi, Kitamura knows when to simply showcase pristine fish and when to introduce a little flair—or jalapeño."

"I called and was told outdoor seating was first come first serve. We arrived 15 min later and was told that they actually couldn't sit us outside be..."

"The music venue and neighborhood spot puts on a virtual supper club, a streaming variety show filled with burlesque, cabaret, and musical performances featuring artists Lily Verlaine and Isobella Bloom. The $65 event comes with a three-course meal curated to match the Valentine’s Day mood (think chocolate, rose petals, and wine). Order for pick up on Feb 13."

"Innovative design and age-old Italian tradition come together in modern comfort at Mamma Melina Ristorante & Pizzeria, which serves an extensive selection of traditional Italian food and wine ranging from seasonal antipasti platters, house-made pasta, and wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas to entrees of grilled meat and ocean-fresh seafood.

"North Star Diner is a popular Greenwood restaurant that serves homemade comfort food 24 hours a day. The large menu serves breakfast and lunch all day and has all the usual options, from pancakes to eggs Benedict. In spite of the name, do not expect any dim sum."

"Glittery gold cushions, framed photos of astronauts, and24-hour breakfast?. Already a win for us. Enjoy takeout or delivery from one of Seattle’s favorite diners daily from 9 am to 9 pm."

"Fairly standard brunch offerings in a corner location near the center of Wallingford. The huevos rancheros were good, with the tortillas actually fried, ..."

"Eastlake is an understated neighborhood of Seattle tucked in between the east bank of Lake Union and the roaring Interstate 5 humming toward Capitol Hill. There are numerous restaurants sprinkled about, including this great waterfront joint serving up tasty Mexican flair with a beautiful view. A local place, Little Water Cantina offers a charming perspective of the active water economy with views of Gasworks Park and boats galore."

"Take in Gas Works Park and taxiing sea planes from the picnic benches on the back patio, most likely over some serviceable Mexican food and excellent drinks (which can take a while to make it to your table, given the sunny day crowds)."

"If a bakery is an exercise in eating with your eyes first, then Cubes Baking Company is the kind of workout we can get behind. It’s all too easy to—with the unchecked voracity of a blue, cookie-obsessed puppet—pillage the shelves of this Wallingford bakeshop, a place where the likes of cupcakes and scones take on a boxy silhouette. Indeed the baked goods here are square."

"For bakeries the goal, usually, is to be expansive and multitude in your baked goods—sweet and savory; diminutive pastries and impressively tall cakes; styles and shapes of any sort. Yet Nothing Bundt Cakes banks on its eponymous treat (and dad-joke styled pun). At its Mill Creek and Issaquah locations a pastry case is stocked with domed bundt cakes in flavors like red velvet and lemon all piped with cream cheese frosting."
