Have you ever had a sandwich so delicious it has lingered on your mind, or one you’ve actually driven way out of your way to track down?

- The Gooch, HoneyHole Sandwiches, 703 Pike St., Seattle
Anthony F / Yelp
Nicole O / Yelp HoneyHole is loved by vegetarians and carnivores alike for their amazing sandwich selection. But there’s something about The Gooch—thin-sliced tri tip, red onion, sharp cheddar, horseradish mayo and au jus on the side—that makes it a popular pick.
- Lean Green Turkey Machine, Wally’s Sandwich Bar, 2106 Harrison Ave NW., Olympia
Call K / Yelp

Stella’s Cle Elum Facebook

Kim B / Yelp
