Editor’s Note: On Dec. 8, Gov. Jay Inslee extended several COVID-19 restrictions through at least Jan. 4, including a ban on indoor dining. Outdoor dining for parties of five or fewer is still permitted, so please call or check the website of an establishment if you’d like to know what they offer.
The holidays look very different this year. To curb the spread of COVID-19, state health authorities have shut down indoor dining and are advising that people keep dinner gatherings as small as possible. But this list of restaurants in the Seattle area offering Christmas meals and specials to go might help you find the holiday splurge that makes your day special — or at least one that eliminates any cooking stress.
Bookmark this page and check back periodically because this list will be updated through the Monday of Christmas week. If you’d like to submit a restaurant to be added, please fill in the form at the end of the list below.
Check websites/Facebook pages or call for information on menu items, prices and more. Note that some establishments require patrons to reserve meals ahead of time.
