New restaurants Seattle residents are looking forward to in 2025

SEATTLE – Washington state’s dining scene is gearing up for a major shakeup in 2025, with several highly anticipated restaurants set to make their debut.

From iconic fast-food chains to fresh culinary experiences, here’s what food lovers can look forward to in the coming year.

Raising Cane’s Fried Chicken Fingers is finding a new home in Seattle

Known for its crispy chicken fingers and signature Cane’s Sauce, Raising Cane’s is expanding into the Seattle area with locations planned for the University District, Renton and Lynnwood.

Currently, the closest location is in Vancouver, Washington, where the Louisiana-based chain opened in July.

In-N-Out Burger is crossing the state line

The beloved California-based chain is officially bringing its signature burgers, fries, and shakes to the Evergreen State.

In-N-Out is working on a plan to open its first Washington location in Ridgefield, near the I-5 corridor, by 2025. Despite being a haul from Seattle, this location marks a significant milestone for fans who previously had to travel to Oregon or Idaho to get their fix.

According to the City of Vancouver, In-N-Out Burger was in the pre-application phase in April for an additional location on the east side of the city, marking a second In-N-Out Burger location in Clark County.

The popular chain is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

Voodoo Doughnut is now open on Seattle’s Capitol Hill

Fans of quirky, over-the-top doughnuts no longer need to trek to Portland to indulge.

Voodoo Doughnut opened its first Seattle location on December 10 at 1201 Pine St., offering its iconic creations like the Old Dirty Bastard, Voodoo Bubble and Voodoo Doll doughnut.

El Pollo Loco is bringing its LA Mex fire-grilled chicken to the Evergreen State

The popular California chain is entering the Seattle market with four planned locations in Federal Way, Kent, Tacoma, and Puyallup.

Known for its fire-grilled chicken and fresh Mexican-inspired menu, El Pollo Loco is partnering with restaurateur Jean-Paul Pirio to bring these locations to life.

Starbird Chicken is bringing its modern spin on fast food to the Seattle area

The California-based chain Starbird Chicken is launching an ambitious expansion into Washington with plans for 17 locations, including 15 in the Seattle area and two in Spokane.

Known for its no-antibiotics-ever chicken and tech-savvy customer experience, Starbird offers a chef-crafted menu aimed at redefining fast food.

The first locations are expected to open in 2025.

Seattle bakery near UW named one of best in U.S.

The New York Times just declared a local Seattle bakery as one of the best in America. That’s right, Saint Bread on Portage Bay Waterfront near the University of Washington has made the list of “22 best bakeries across the U.S. right now.”

As Washington’s dining scene continues to evolve, with other exciting openings like Mountain Mike’s Pizza and a new Chick-Fil-A location in Interbay, food enthusiasts across the state can look forward to a year of new flavors and expanded options.

Additionally, an expansion to the Tacoma Mall called “The Village” will offer notable restaurant brands such as Shake Shack, Dave’s Hot Chicken and Supreme Dumpling.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dylan Holloway had a hat trick and added an assist in his return from a sprained ankle, Joel Hofer made 23 saves and the St. Louis Blues came off the Olympic break to beat the Seattle Kraken 5-1 on Thursday night.

St. Louis Blues 5, Seattle Kraken 1: Box score

Jordan Kyrou and Holloway — activated from injured reserve before the game — scored in a 23-second span early in the second period to give St. Louis a 3-1 lead.

Pius Suter added a goal and two assists to help the Blues end a three-game losing streak.

Holloway completed St. Louis’ first hat trick of the season with 3:01 left, scoring into an empty net for his 11th of the season.

Kaapo Kakko tied it at 1 for Seattle in the first period, and Philipp Grubauer stopped 26 shots. The Kraken were coming off a 4-1 loss in Dallas on Wednesday night.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).

It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.

“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”

Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.

Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.

Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.

“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”

Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.

“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
