2021 Thanksgiving Dining & Takeout Options: Seattle, Eastside

SEATTLE — Puget Sound residents on the hunt for a Thanksgiving feast still have quite a few options available around Seattle and the Eastside, including restaurants taking reservations, and offering meal kits by pickup or, in some cases, delivery.

The holiday will be here before we know it, and signup deadlines for some options are coming up soon. So, anyone who has been on the fence about their plans may need to act fast.

Here are a few popular options for communities on both sides of Lake Washington:
