Maybe it’s the wet and the gloom, maybe it’s the public transit system that slows to a crawl in the wee hours, or maybe it’s the fabled Seattle Freeze. Whatever the cause, our city’s late night food scene is much-maligned, and there’s a grain of truth to this rep — especially following the pandemic, when many formerly late-night or 24-hour spots have indefinitely reduced their hours.
But if you know where to look, there’s plenty of great options after ten, and even a handful after last call at 2 a.m. If there’s one thing we’ve learned in our relentless pursuit of a midnight (or much later,) snack, however, it’s that the hours posted online are particularly unreliable for late-night spots; Instagram, a phone call, or word of mouth are typically your best bet for securing an after-hours bite. Well, that, and this list.
As usual, this list is not ranked; it’s organized geographically. Know of a spot that should be on our radar? Send us a tip by emailing seattle@eater.com.
