Food Scene

This Vietnamese-American family serves up the best sandwiches I've ever had. They bake their own bread each morning and are frequently listed in the "Top 10 Best Sandwich Shops" in Washington State. It's kind of like a Subway sandwich shop on the inside. Try "The Oliver" or--if you're a big meat-eater--try "The Gladiator." They're to die for. If you like Bahn Mi you can get it here.

Ranchito is not the best Mexican but it IS within walking distance and it DOES serve up huge margaritas and hot chips. We go here for the vegetarian fajitas and drinks.

Locally-sourced foods and beer prepared by a well-known local chef. This place is new to Milton and boasts a really nice outdoor patio space. Due to the quality of the food, the prices are a bit higher here. Expect to pay $16 for a burger and fries. Pints of local craft brew are $5.50 usually and cheaper on happy hour!

Drinks & Nightlife

Somewhere on the diner-cafe-bar continuum with generally incredible music. There is always a local beer on tap. Good place for friendly locals, a hearty breakfast, juicy burger, late-night french fries, and a pint of local brew. This is the solid "greasy spoon" of the neighborhood. Jerry Miller, a native of Tacoma, plays here almost every Tuesday--he was the founding member and guitarist for Moby Grape and is in Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists of all time.

Parks & Nature

Phil and I walk this 4.5-mile-loop almost every day from the house. Half of the walk is on the paved Interurban Trail which used to be the rail line back in the day. The rails have been removed and there is now a paved path in their place. Hybelos Creek gushes below you and it's easy to forget amongst the green foliage and fresh air that you're minutes from major cities. If you'd rather not make such a long adventure out of it, we can show you where the secret trailhead parking is and you can park right at the trailhead.
