In-N-Out Eyes Ridgefield for Its First Washington State Location | Eater Portland
"After filing a development application with the city of Ridgefield, In-N-Out is pursuing what would be the chain’s first Washington location near the under-construction Ridgefield Costco at Union Ridge Town Center on Pioneer Street just west of I-5. Mike Abbate, the company’s vice president of store development, confirmed the filing and wrote that “it is still very early in the development process,” noting the team is hopeful as they work with the city on permits and approvals; however, the application does not guarantee the restaurant will be built. Documents show a proposed 4,354-square-foot building with a covered patio, 76 parking stalls, and a drive-thru designed to accommodate 46 cars, and the site plan would depart from In-N-Out’s usual white/red/yellow color palette to incorporate darker colors and different building materials as desired by the city. Because construction cannot begin until permits are approved and In-N-Out locations typically take eight to nine months to open from the start of construction, any opening remains uncertain and likely not imminent." - Janey Wong
