This Northgate staple is surrounded by several parking lots to make slipping in and out with the little one an easy task. The tomato soup made with San Marzano tomatoes is a nice balance of sweet and tangy and ideal for pairing with the grilled cheese sandwich made with buttery, crispy beer bread. And with over 25 beers on tap from some of the Pacific Northwest’s best breweries, like Three Magnets, Burke-Gilman Brewing, and Potlatch Brewing, Watershed Pub has a brew for every palate. There are also pie folds, crispy pocket sandwiches made with house pizza dough and filled with varieties of toppings, then baked fresh. Changing tables are available in both the men’s and women’s bathrooms, and many parents pull strollers up to the covered and heated outside seating.

Pizzas are the way to go at Razzis, a neighborhood spot in Greenwood that also has a downtown location. Car seats slide easily onto booth seating, and parents can indulge in any one of 20-plus specialty pizzas. The savory Italian sausage and pepperoni complements the sweetness of the goat cheese on the Gasping Goat pizza, which comes smothered in rich mozzarella and topped with jalapenos for a great slice. Gluten-free as well as vegan pizzas with a variety of vegan meat toppings are also available. There’s a playroom downstairs that also functions as a private area for newborns, and parking is easily found in the back of the restaurant.

Sneak into James Beard semifinalist David Nichols’ Green Lake restaurant on a weekday when it opens, and the whole restaurant is yours. The bison tartare is a perfect start to the evening with its delicious bone marrow aioli and whiskey apple butter coming together with the bison atop the crispy leek ash cracker. Parents can rock their car seats on an adjacent chair and sip on one of Eight Row’s eclectic cocktails, such as Harvest Queen, made with avua prata cachaca, a Brazilian spirit similar to rum. There are small tables in both the men’s and women’s bathrooms for diaper changing, and parking is easily accessible. Reservations recommended.

Newborns and parents mix it up at the longtime Seattle favorite. The texture of the roasted and marinated beets in the beet salad along with the pistachio and goat cheese garnish makes for an excellent bite. Parents hang out enjoying pints of witbier while newborns lounge in car seats in the white-noise-filled beer hall (for the uninitiated, the white noise creates a relaxing, womb-like environment that calms newborns, and helps them fall asleep). There’s also a flavorful Weisswurst that finds the perfect combo between lean veal and fatty pork, served with sauerkraut, just one of over ten different sausages served at the beer hall. It also has outdoor picnic-table-style seating where parents can rock their newborns in car seats or bounce them in their laps.

At this Pioneer Square restaurant, the crispiness on the outside of the fried chicken gives way to succulent and tender pieces of meat. Parents can pop the car seat up on a chair or slide it onto a booth in this spacious restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They can also enjoy the weekend brunch that includes house-made gochujang bacon, which has a wonderful flavor blending sweet, spicy, and umami. There is a small inventory of diapers kept on-site, and a secluded bench next to the bathrooms for newborns in need of a change or moms who want to feed infants in private.
