Dick's Drive-In to open new location at Crossroads Mall in Bellevue later this year

Residents on the Eastside won't have to make the trek to Seattle for their Dick's Drive-In fix much longer: the beloved burger joint announced that it will open a new location at Crossroads Bellevue.

During a Facebook Live event on Thursday, the popular Seattle-based burger chain drove their food truck to the new location, revealing to viewers that it would be located at the mall.

The new location fulfills a promise Dick's made to open a restaurant on the Eastside following the opening of the Kent location in 2018 and also marks a return to Bellevue — the old location closed in 1974.

"Once we opened that Kent location we promised that the next one would be on the Eastside," said Jasmine Donovan, president and chief financial officer of Dick's Drive-In. "We have been scouring the Eastside for the perfect place to open our next location."

1. This is good news after reading a previous report of many Dick's locations closing! I will admit

to being a satisfied customer of the Dick's location on East Sprague in Spokane many years ago. As far as I know that location is still open.

2. First one on the Eastside, great!

After losing Kidd Valley, Wendy's and Burgermaster in that area near the main Microsoft Campus in the last few years, I'd say there's definitely an opportunity there.

I heard it was going in where Petco's used to be, right next to -- ha! -- Dick's Sporting Goods.

3. I assume this is the same place that started out in Spokane?

They were well known for hiring kids that had been in trouble, and the fact they never wrote down orders. The staff worked off memory, and they were very good. Burgers were OK too.
