Seattle isn’t just a tech hub or a coffee capital—it’s an international culinary hotspot and, crucially, one of the best cities on the planet for battling the munchies. From late-night institution hot dogs to Michelin-star elegance, Jet City offers a menu for every level of the cannabis connoisseur.
Our team of Seattle locals at Leafly put their heads (and stomachs) together to compile this definitive list of the top spots. Check it out when the cravings hit, and save yourself from the agonizing decision-making that strikes when you’re beautifully blazed.
A Quick Note on Being a Good Customer: Please plan your evening. Pick up your food before your smoke session, or make sure you’re clear-headed enough to be a polite patron if you dine in. Being too stoned to order is a bad look, and driving after consuming cannabis is illegal and dangerous. Be chill, be safe, or go hungry.
