Lighthouse Drive-In and more local businesses
There are some local mainstay restaurants on Simpson Avenue, including the Lighthouse Drive-In. “The Lighthouse has really good burgers, especially one called the Little Anchor. It’s been around pretty much forever. They have good milkshakes, and they just got new owners within the last few years,” says broker Rikki Roberts, who works with Olympic Realty 2000 and has over five years of experience in the area. The fast-food joint features a drive-thru and casual indoor seating. Duffy’s is the other neighborhood favorite, a laidback diner best known for its clam chowder and razor clams, a regional specialty. For produce and discount items, residents can stop by Grocery Outlet. Aberdeen also has a walkable downtown area, located about a mile away, with a dozen blocks of local businesses.
