9 Must-Try Sandwiches In The Pacific Northwest - Tasting Table

"Though my family moved around a lot growing up, I've always considered the Pacific Northwest to be home. It's where we spent the most consecutive time and kept moving back to. Today, I live in the greater Seattle area and still have family scattered across Cascadia. And, as a major sandwich fanatic, I am well-versed in the region's best of them. I love the emphasis on organic produce, local dairy, and bread-baking, all of which make for a vibrant, seasonal, and flavorful sandwich scene."

"The best sandwiches of my life have been eaten in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. They've blown away some of the best food critics in history, including Anthony Bourdain, who famously raved about Seattle. The sourdoughs, perfect pestos, tender mozzarella varieties, bright vegetables, and other local touches are just simply unmatched. So, while you're welcome to enjoy the area's outstanding seafood steams, cream cheese-slathered hot dogs, teriyaki, and Scandinavian specialties, I highly recommend that you add sandwiches to your to-eat list."

"Part and Parcel is beautiful, serving up seasonal plates that are reflective of the surrounding landscapes, climate, and bounty of British Columbia. Victoria itself is beautiful, and I always celebrate the chance to visit from the American side of the Salish Sea. And this restaurant is honoring the draw so well, highlighting the gorgeous coast, woodlands, and ingredients that surround it. While all of the sandwiches here fall into this lovely context, there's one that really catches my eye."

The greater Seattle area and Cascadia produce sandwiches built around organic produce, local dairy, and artisanal bread. Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia showcase standout sandwiches celebrated for sourdough, perfect pestos, tender mozzarella, and bright vegetables. Regional touches and seasonal ingredients create vibrant, flavorful offerings that complement other local specialties like seafood steamers, cream cheese-slathered hot dogs, teriyaki, and Scandinavian dishes. Notable examples include a Fresh Mozza at Gere-a-Deli in Anacortes and a charred broccoli sandwich at Part and Parcel in Victoria that highlights coastal, woodland, and climate-driven ingredients. Nine must-try sandwiches span the region.
