Dicks Drive-In Edmonds Grand Opening

Nathaniel Deasy, Natalie Coloberg, and Danielle Deasy look on as Dicks Drive-in employees prepare potatoes for the deep fryer.

While thousands of people lined up for as much as 2+ hours to get their first burgers, fries and shakes at the newest Dicks Drive-in these local Edmonds kids had a front row seat at the process of making french fries the old-fashioned way. The same way Dicks has been preparing them since 1954.

This is the first Dicks Drive-In (a Seattle institution) to be opened in 37 years and the first one outside of King County. Based on the enormous crowds that stood in line for well over 2 hours the launch is a HUGE success!

If you're not from Seattle this is probably fairly meaningless to you. That's ok, we forgive you! For those of us born and raised in this region this is a MONUMENTAL day!
