By Mike Pearce March 18, 2016
Sugary treats, egg hunts and pastel colors. Easter is on Sunday, March 27. If you haven’t already made reservations for brunch with the whole family, now’s the time. We’ve done some of the research for you, so here’s a list of our suggestions.
Copperleaf Restaurant (18525 36th Avenue S., SeaTac)
This brunch, hosted at the Cedarbrook Lodge, is a buffet of fresh Northwest favorites, much of which were sourced directly from Lummi Island. Grab yourself a plate of smoked salmon, mussels, prawns or crab (snow or king), then hit the carving station for prime rib and honey roasted ham. Load up on breakfast classics like eggs, Applewood smoked bacon, sausage and made-to-order omelets.
Not a brunch fan? No problem. Try Copperleaf’s Easter Celebration Tasting Menu for a delightful five-course dinner instead.
