Newest Dick's Drive-In is slated for Everett

Dick's Drive-Ins fans north of Seattle can rejoice. The locally loved burger joint is slated to open a new location in Everett.

"We know our customers north of Edmonds have been waiting patiently for us to look north again,” Dick's Drive-Ins President Jasmine Donovan said in a statement. Donovan is the granddaughter of founder Dick Spady.

Currently, the furthest north Dick's location is in Edmonds, which was opened in 2011. The company still has to work through the permitting process, but if it all works out, it plans to purchase a site at 1629 Center Road in Everett for its next drive-in. It could open as soon as 2025.

Since 1954, Dick's operated a handful of drive-ins around Seattle. That changed in 2011, when it began to expand to nearby communities. It has opened four more locations since then. The company says that each new location "creates about 50 new jobs."

“We’ve been working hard to build our capacity to grow sustainably and are very excited to bring Dick’s Drive-Ins to Everett," Donovan said.

Dick's Drive-Ins currently has five locations in Seattle, including: on Capitol Hill, Holman Road, Lake City, Queen Anne, and Wallingford. It also has locations in Crossroads (Bellevue), Edmonds, Federal Way, and Kent.
