Update Dec. 11
Dick's Mobile Food came to the West Seattle Junction on Dec. 11 and completely sold out. People lined up (and socially distanced) for more than two blocks to get a taste of the famous Dick's hamburgers making their first visit to the West Seattle peninsula. They had 1500 patties on board, according to spokesperson Jasmine and they completely sold out. They also gave away free shirts to the first 50 customers, which were West Seattle themed. She said this won't be the only visit to West Seattle but they have to stop in Bellingham first, but were waiting on the appropriate permits. This summer they hope to be back on Alki Beach and have a location already "scoped out" she said.
"We really felt like this was something we could do to spread joy to the West Seattle community. You folks have suffered so much with the bridge being out."

The local legend, Dick's Drive-in, will bring its food truck to West Seattle on Friday Dec. 11 and park it out in front of Easy Street Records from 11am to 2pm. Expect lines.
The company has seven locations including Wallingford, Broadway, Edmonds, Queen Anne, Holman Road, Lake City and Kent.
The chain serves beef burgers, fries, shakes, ice cream, soft drinks, coffee and hot chocolate but the Food Truck will only offer Burgers and Shakes and soft drinks, no fries. Chips will be offered instead. If the food truck does well Dick's has said they may offer a fry truck in the future.
I love it but how will you prevent crowds from bunching up?
