We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
Enzo's Bistro & Bar opened earlier this year, and right away, their outdoor patio was a huge draw. They decided to winterize the space with open-air tents, plenty of heaters, and the same mouthwatering Italian cuisine they've served since day one.
Located in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, Ristorante Picolinos is always an upscale dining destination. But right now, with their enchanting open-air tents and holiday decor, it's downright magical.
Craving pizza in Spokane? At Flying Goat, you don't have to get it to-go. They are open for Patio dining from 11 am to 9 pm Sunday - Thursday and 11 am to 10 pm Friday and Saturday. There are only six tables available on the covered, heated patio, so get there early if you want one.
The Leavenworth Christmas Tree Lighting Festival was canceled this year, along with many other events. And while we support the precautions being taken for everyone's health, there are still plenty of small businesses in our Bavarian village that can use our support. Go check out the holiday lights, which will be on until Valentine's Day, and enjoy a delicious German meal at Andraes Keller's new covered outdoor space.
Woodinville's Hollywood Tavern is a beloved local treasure. While their patio season is typically reserved for summertime, they've made an exception this year. Feast on hearty comfort food by the fire daily from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
The only thing better than pizza is pizza with a view. Veraci can't offer you table service right now, but if you pick up your delicious pizza, salad, and beverages, you can enjoy them on the heated patio and take in the views of the city.
Budd Bay Cafe has been a local favorite since its 1988 opening. Support this gem by dining on their covered patio that sits right on the water. Their seafood, soups, and sandwiches will warm you right up.
Life will get back to normal eventually. In the meantime, enjoy this unique opportunity to dine outdoors in the winter in Washington.
