So you’re looking for dog-friendly Seattle restaurants—I’ve been there. Maybe it’s been a long day at work and you don’t feel like cooking, but the guilt of leaving your dog behind is too much to bear. Why not bring your canine pal along?
It’s no secret that I don’t cook a lot, so let me share with you my favorite restaurants to bring along my dog, Lilly. It’s not just micro and nano-breweries that’ll welcome your furry friends with open arms. Seattle is one of the nation’s most dog-friendly cities, so it follows that many restaurants in Seattle and the surrounding area encourage doggie dining guests. Check out our list of dog-friendly Seattle eateries!
