Dick’s Drive-In in Kent will be part of the restaurant’s 70th anniversary celebration with a party from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16.<\/p>\n
Dick Spady, Warren Ghormley and Dr. B.O.A. “Thom” Thomas opened the first Dick’s Drive-In location in Wallingford in Seattle on NE 45th Street on Jan. 28, 1954. Dick’s opened its Kent location in 2018 at 24220 Pacific Highway S.<\/p>\n
The party in Kent will include live performances by Seattle-area musicians, an eclectic mix of cars from across the decades, a photo booth, face painting, a swag pop-up and a sweet memory booth, according to a Dick’s Drive-In Facebook post.<\/p>\n
The local artists are Leif Totusek (African music), Aline & Wes (soulful rock), La Fonda (indie rock) and The Sliding Eights (rock).<\/p>\n
And, of course, attendees will want to order a burger, shake and fries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
