In the parking lot at the original Dick’s Drive-in in Wallingford (111 N.E. 45th St.), the folks from Seattle’s beloved fast food chain (including 87-year-old founder Dick Spady) and the Edmonds mayor announced that the newest Dick’s will arrive soon in the town to the north.
My Edmonds News was on hand for the news and posted, in part:
The idea of locating a Dick’s in Edmonds has been the talk of the town ever since the drive-in chain announced that it would be building its first new location since 1974. Dick’s ran a poll on its website asking customers where a new restaurant should be built, and the Northend won, with 46 percent of the vote. Edmonds residents also submitted videos stating their case for why Dick’s should come to Edmonds, with two of them featured on the Dick’s website.
The new Dick’s is slated to open late in 2011. Read the rest of the story about the announcement here.
