Stay Safely Social During Social Distancing

Looking for creative ways to social distance while still enjoying all the region has to offer? Traveling out of state, traditional retail shopping, and attending large events may not be viable in the short term, but small businesses, restaurants, retailers and tour operators are adapting to bring safe and special experiences to Seattleites stuck at home. Ease your cabin fever and support businesses with one of these alternate options. 

  • Craving something savory and sweet? Uneeda Burger offers a robust and streamlined takeout menu, call ahead to indulge! With burger options ranging from bison to beef, hand dipped shakes, and easy pickup, dining out is back on the menu. If takeout isn’t on the agenda, the outdoor patio at Uneeda beckons with spring sunbursts and fresh air for a quick escape from the home office. 

  • What’s better than an onsite winery tasting of Red Mountain wines? Enjoying those coveted vintages delivered to the front door, ready to be uncorked and sipped from the comfort of home. Visit www.redmountainava.com to learn more about how the region produces some of the most mineral-driven, tannic and age-worthy red wines of Washington state.
