LOCAL HIDDEN GEM: The Box & Burgers Eatery.

Sometimes the best neighborhood restaurants are the ones hiding in plain sight.

The Box & Burgers Eatery is a small Totem Lake spot serving much more than your average burger. Think creative burgers, crispy chicken, Asian-inspired flavors and Hawaiian-style comfort food.

You’ll find it at:

12305 120th Ave NE
Kirkland, WA 98034

It’s the kind of local place that makes living in Totem Lake even better. You don’t always have to head downtown or make an evening out of dinner when great food is right in the neighborhood.

Adara residents, have you tried it?

Tell us what we should order first in the comments. Your recommendation might make it into our next neighborhood spotlight.

Every apartment community has these neighbors.

The one who knows everyone.

The one who is always in the fitness center.

The one who takes game night VERY seriously.

The one whose dog has more friends in the building than they do.

And the one you only see when a package arrives.

Which one are you?

At Adara at Totem Lake, there are plenty of spaces to find your people or happily do your own thing.

Tell us which neighbor you are in the comments. Better yet, tag the neighbor who immediately came to mind.
