Italian in East Van: Bar Corso. Another area that most tourist don't know exist so if you're a tourist get out of downtown and explore. I guess I'd call it Italian with a twist since it was a new dining experience. Food Rest of Washington, United States, Washington, West Coast
Edison WA
Skagit Valley: Tweets Cafe. Springtime in the Skagit Valley brings daffodils and then tulips in bloom and at some point you must eat...right? This place is in the very small town of Edison (basically an intersection of 2 roads) but that doesn't Greenwood, Seattle Metro, United States, Washington, West Coast
Seattle
