The Dick’s Drive-In food truck will park in downtown Tacoma during lunchtime on June 12.

“This Wednesday, grab your friends + co-workers, bring your appetite, and don’t miss out on some of the region’s most legendary burgers and hand-dipped milkshakes,” the Downtown Tacoma Partnership posted on their Instagram page on Tuesday morning.

Customers can line up at the corner of Pacific Avenue and 12th Street outside the 1201 Pacific Building to get a quick meal from the Seattle-based burger joint.

Dick’s food truck has been coming to this location in downtown Tacoma once a month since the Downtown Tacoma Partnership announced an arrangement with the business in April on Instagram. The food truck’s first visit to Tacoma was in September 2021. Its most recent visit to this spot was on May 15.

The burger joint first opened its doors in 1954 in Seattle and has kept its menu of burgers, fresh-cut fries and hand-dipped milkshakes virtually the same since then. Dick’s operates nine physical store locations, including one in Kent and their newest location in Federal Way.

Biden addresses poor debate performance, attacks Trump at Raleigh rally
President Joe Biden on Friday addressed his poor performance in Thursday's presidential debate, just hours after he faltered on stage in his matchup against former President Donald Trump. During the rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, a more energetic-appearing Biden acknowledged that he's not a young man, but contended that his morals and history prove that he's still fit for the job. Biden spent much of the rally pointing out what he called Trump's false claims during the debate about the economy, immigration and crime.
