The spot serves patatas bravas, pulpo (octopus), roasted Cornish game hen, lamb and pork albondigas (meatballs), and paella tahdig. The Stranger‘s Jas Keimig, who lived in Ourense, Galicia, for a couple of years, writes, “A tip: Estrella Galicia is delicious and the pride of Galicia—make sure to get a pint!”

There’s a narrow annual window when sweet, delicate spot shrimp is in season, six to eight weeks max, and good news: Memorial Day weekend falls within it. Sure, you can get them at the upscale supermarkets in Seattle, but it’s so much better to find them at the source. The seaside hamlet of Brinnon, on the west coast of Hood Canal between Hama Hama and Quilcene, has a little food fest to celebrate the spot shrimp’s arrival each year–there are also bands and “other seafood,” and you can harvest clams and oysters with a license from the Department of Fish & Wildlife. By the way, this event’s tagline is “Welcome to Fresh Shrimp and Good Times,” which is so simple, it’s brilliant. We feel like we’ve waited our whole lives to be welcomed to fresh shrimp.
