Got a hankering for spicy seafood? Pier 88 in Tukwila offers outdoor dining in a casual, family-friendly setting. The star of the menu is their signature Cajun-style seafood boil—piles of shrimp, crab legs, mussels, and crawfish tossed in your choice of bold spices and buttery sauces, all served hot and ready to eat with your hands. Pair that with summery sides like corn on the cob, potatoes, and hush puppies, plus a cold beer or sweet iced tea, and you’ve got a meal that feels like a seaside escape right in the heart of the city.
For a shopping break at Westfield Southcenter, head to the third-floor cafe at Nordstrom. With soups, salads, sandwiches, and other light fare, this restaurant will fill you up without weighing you down. Their outdoor space is only open seasonally, so if you wish to dine outside, you'll have to wait for warmer weather.
Looking for a juicy, charbroiled burger? The Habit Burger Grill is beloved for its juicy burgers and thick milkshakes, and it has a small patio.
