Hey Greycat- Taco Time "mexi-fries" are REALLY good tots to be had within the Seattle city limits! Enjoy.

Sonic is one of the few restaurants Aubrey McClendon can afford.

I'm pretty excited about Sonic coming to WA state. For someone who grew up in Oklahoma it's not about the food, but the drinks and the nostalgia factor.

Furthering the irony, Robert Swift is working the Puyallup Sonic.

Honestly, you aren't missing much. I just moved from Austin, where there was literally 3 sonics on the same street (on which I lived) within about a mile distance between each other. I love the foot long coneys and the tots though. The drinks are pretty good too, I have been getting cherry dr. peppers since i was a wee young un.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Sonic, based in Oklahoma City, OK is transporting its JV version of fast-food to (near) Seattle only AFTER they stole our f$#%ing basketball team of the same name? Irony? Anyone? I call for a boycott - if you're going to transplant some crappy out of state fast food here, at least make it good crappy out of state food. Where in the hell is an In N Out Burger or a White Castle when you need one?

Whatever, I was looking on the map and it was close enough. Why is Alltel in bold?

Maybe we can use our Alltel cellphones to order via SonicMobile? And for the record: Ferndale is not Bellingham. thx

Also, there's one in Puyallup and one in B-ham

That is the coolest thing ever! We used to discuss this very thing in my office all the time, with all those ads you're bound to have a huge customer base! Even better, my dad lives about 5 minutes from Eatonville!!

Also, never been impressed by Sonics. Could be the name, could be the commercials and could be there traditional locations are in places I deem 'crappy' Like the outskirts of Las Vegas and LA.

I was going to proclaim nothing is as silly as spending years advertising something far away (I think there's a sonics in Oregon). But finally opening one in the middle of, relative, nowhere and making it invite only is definitely sillier.

(disclaimer: i'm more excited about a sonic within driving distance than i should be. it's one thing i haven't been able to find a replacement for in the pnw.) you're missing the drinks. that's what sonic is about. dick's can't make a shake like sonic can. see also: vanilla cokes (with real vanilla syrup), cherry limeade and the thing called "ocean water".
