"Deru Market in Kirkland is far away from all the noise of the constant construction in the city. This cafe/market hybrid is smack in the middle of a sleepy residential neighborhood, and they serve some delicious cake, sandwiches, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and fries topped with crispy herbs and pecorino cheese. Hanging out at Deru is also a great way to get a glimpse into what a future would be like after settling down in the Seattle suburbs - which are far better than just about any other city’s suburbs." - aimee rizzo
