Shopping centers with Mexican restaurants and more on Pacific Highway
Several Mexican restaurants line Pacific Highway, like California Burrito, a local staple serving fast-food Mexican staples 24/7. Small shopping centers up and down the road feature Mexican restaurants, including Cemitas Tepeaca 2 and La Familia, a lively sports bar and lounge. For groceries and other household products, there’s a Safeway nearby.
Close to Sea-Tac and Interstate 5, which runs to Seattle and Tacoma
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is just 5 miles north. Because of this, there are a lot of hotels on Pacific Highway. “You’re right there in the business of the airport,” says Richardson, “So it comes with the territory, but it’s also a luxury to live just five minutes from the airport.” Interstate 5 connects to Seattle, about 15 miles north, and Tacoma, about 15 miles south.
