"Anacortes restaurant Dad’s Diner a Go Go — whose buttermilk pancakes are the best in the state, Governor Jay Inslee once proclaimed — closed its Eastlake location earlier this month. The restaurant had only been in business since September, when it opened in the former home of Babirusa. In addition to flapjacks, the vintage-style diner specialized in dishes like biscuits and gravy and fried egg sandwiches." - Megan Hill
