Fast Food Foodies like me are looking forward to seeing us finally get the first ever Raising Cane’s location in Washington. What exciting news! I'm still trying to get over the fact that we have an Ezell's Chicken and a Chik-Fil-A here.

I first saw the story about Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers' exciting plans to open a location here in Washington when King 5 News posted about it on Twitter (I mean, on X), my bad. I wish there were more of these national fast food chain locations in Central WA so that I could enjoy them all the time like the people on the West side of the state get to do! </ends rant lol>

I am nosy as h*ll, so I had to look a bit further into this hot gossip about Raising Cane’s opening a location in Washington. You see, I was recently visiting Las Vegas and I had meant to try out Raising Cane’s, but I opted for Dave’s Hot Chicken. Now, I’m kind of kicking myself in the “biscuits” for not sampling Raising Cane’s food so that I can know whether or not I should be excited about this news.
