I live 20 miles south of Seattle and a world away...

With more than 89,000 people, Federal Way is the 10th largest city in the state of Washington. The 10th largest city doesn't have a used bookstore, a gay bar or an art museum but we have two, count 'em, two Walmarts. Now, before you think I'm a total snob, you should know that I do have an affinity for some big chains - I do a lot of shopping at Target and Trader Joe's and I never leave home without my Taco Del Mar punch-card. This blog isn't here to put down the friendly suburb of Federal Way but to celebrate the things that are unique about it. These one-of-a-kind gems in a sea of strip malls are the things that make a city special and worth calling home.

Peking Wok

32921 1st Ave S, Federal Way

Federal Way has no shortage of Chinese restaurants, so it can be hard to pick one when you’re in the mood for some Mongolian beef and wonton soup. There are a few reasons I like Peking Wok. Most importantly, the food is good. It’s your basic American-style Chinese food done nicely and they have a really big menu to choose from. They’ll even do Peking duck if you give them 24-hour notice. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant itself is very cozy. It’s located in the Quad Shopping Center and of course it’s in a strip mall, but the interior is nice with red walls, intimate tables, and the ceiling is covered in a very ornate pattern. 

 The other great thing about Peking Wok is that they deliver. One warning on that though - there’s a $20 minimum order for delivery and a dinner for one is around $13 and can easily feed two people. So if you, a.) live alone or, b.) don’t live alone but your husband is at his brother’s house watching football and you’re home with wicked PMS and all you want in the world is for someone to drive Chinese food to your face while you sit on your couch watching A League of Their Own, you might be out of luck. Or you could just order some extra appetizers and have a lot of leftovers.
