West Seattle/White Center and northwest known favorite, Zippy's Giant Burgers on 15th SW in White Center announced on July 5 the sudden closure of the restaurant on July 10.

Zippy's has consistently ranked among the best burgers in Seattle and was originally in Highland Park on Holden Street, moving to the White Center location in 2011.

They announced their closure on social media.

It is with heavy hearts that we are closing Zippy’s Giant Burgers after 14 years. Sadly, our last day of business will be Sunday, July 10th, 2022.

To say this decision is heart breaking is a monumental understatement. Over the last two years, we have done everything we could to try to keep Zippy’s open for business. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, all of our efforts have been thwarted.

Our issues are no different from those we’ve all heard about with other businesses closing recently; staffing, inflation and an unreasonable landlord are the contributing factors that ultimately led us to this decision.

Zippy’s will be open (staffing permitting) the following days:

Tuesday through Saturday 10am – 9pm

Sunday noon – 8pm

Heartfelt thanks to the community for supporting us from our humble beginnings in Highland Park to the current location over the last 14 years. It was a good run.

Blaine, Rahel and Jesse — feeling sad.
