Little Big Burger Closes Amid Seattle Restaurant Closures

However, the good news is that three beloved spots have reopened, including the Wayward Vegan Cafe and Kedai Makan, while Capitol Hill's Little Big Burger has closed, following the closing of its Green Lake location during the pandemic.

✅ What Happened

When Thunder Rumbled and Snow Covered Green Lake: Remembering Seattle's 1996 Snowstorm

Seattle has had some memorable snowstorms throughout its history, including the record-breaking 20-inch storm of 1950 and 2019's "Snowpocalypse." One storm that may have been forgotten by many is the March 1996 snowstorm, which brought thunder and lightning to the city and turned the streets of Green Lake into a winter wonderland.

🤔 Opinion

Kindness at Green Lake and Disappointment on Washington Roads

RAVE to the drivers near Green Lake who stopped to let a woman and her aging dog cross the street on their last walk together, providing a moment of kindness when it was needed most. RANT to Washington state's road litter and the condition of rest stops, as the amount of litter next to the "Welcome to Washington" sign on I-5 after crossing the Columbia River is disappointing.
