Best doughnuts
They're fattening, they're sinful and there isn't one of us who wouldn't love to have a doughnut right this second. Don't panic; sweet relief is even closer than you think.
Countryside Donut House (Mountlake Terrace)
This is it: your hole-y grail. Countryside's doughnuts are a delight — crunchy outside, airy inside.
Family Donut (North Seattle)
Wonderfully tasty and sized for the weight-conscious — unless you eat six, which is easy to do.
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (North Seattle) (North Seattle)
The doughnuts that need no introduction — though we maintain that Krispy Kremes should be eaten only right out of the fryer.
Mighty-O Donuts (Wallingford)
These vegan doughnuts -- made with wholly organic wheat flour, sugar and palm oil -- are every bit as satisfying as any cake doughnut you've ever enjoyed, with virtually no oily aftertaste.
Top Pot Doughnuts (Belltown) (Belltown)
It's not surprising that many locals rate Top Pot's doughnuts as Seattle's best. They're flavorful and seem as big and airy as bicycle tires. Eat one today, wait a week, then eat another.
