"We’ve got a walkable city, but nothing hits quite like a lap around Green Lake. After you’ve circumnavigated the loop (and avoided eye contact with the killer geese), an order of fish and chips at Spud is a must. The classic lakeside spot for crispy dredged cod has been made only better by a recent rebrand, a staff that’s immune to the Seattle Freeze, and a fridge full of natural wine. If you can’t love this place while sitting at a sidewalk table covered in breadcrumbs and tartar sauce as Australian Shepherd puppies prance by, we don’t know how to help you." - aimee rizzo
