It’s the most wonderful time of the year here in Washington… we mean outdoor dining season, of course. If one of your favorite summer activities involves eating a delicious meal on a patio, you’re in luck — you’ll find some great options in nearly every city. These are a few of our favorites.

  1. Ripples Riverside Grill, 700 N Division St., Spokane

Ripples Riverside Grill Facebook Patio dining is always great. But when the patio sits right on the river and the food is fresh (some of it grown on the patio garden onside), it’s amazing.
