Summer weather in Seattle is heating up, and finding the perfect place to enjoy a bite to eat while soaking up the sun just got a whole lot easier.

As we step into June, the wet and dreary weather has begun to subside, and outdoor dining season is just around the corner. With that, GreenRubino has compiled a list of some of the best outdoor dining destinations across the greater Seattle area and Washington state.

“Seattleites have paid the winter rain tax and are finally going to enjoy the payoff with a glorious PNW summer,” GreenRubino stated. “As the weather heats up, [these] outdoor dining spaces around the greater Seattle and Western Washington area offer a variety of ways to take advantage of the summer sunshine while enjoying the best food and cocktails the region has to offer.”

The Shed and The Bin 47 Lounge at The SOMM

The SOMM in the heart of Woodinville’s wine country is a staple patio dining location with two separate outdoor experiences.

At the Bin 47 Lounge, guests can relax on the open patio and enjoy a fresh spring menu “designed for lingering after a day of wine tasting.”

The curated menu highlights many comfort food favorites with Pacific Northwest ingredients, such as charcuterie and cheese boards, fresh salads, and the fan-favorite Wagyu Reuben Smashburger.
