My Favorite Donut

I hadn't been in town for too long before looking for my piece of donut happiness - and I found it at Western Co. Donut, corner of Sunset Blvd. N. and N. 3rd St.
16 years of donut making put Sam and Kathy, the owners, right up there with the best. Sam comes in at midnight so that you can have your bite of heaven as early as 4 am. Seven days a week. Now that is dedication to the craft.
Kathy works the counter and her favorite part of the job is her customers, hands down. The people who come to this shop are just plain nice - and one regular has to have her daily hug before leaving.
Boeing buys a lot of the early morning boxes of goodies, leaving the rest of us to take what we can when we come in anytime before the 4 pm closing hour ( 12 noon closing on Sunday).

Try these donuts - you will become a fan - I recommend the buttermilk bars and the raisin squares. You can sit down to a great donut, some very ordinary coffee and look at some artwork that Kathy and Sam brought over with them from Cambodia 28 years ago. Living the dream - providing a place where people happily make their way to day after day, and making a difference in the community - one donut and one smile at a time.

Did you know (probably not)that before becoming pregnant with Sammy I was the biggest shit talker to donught eaters. It is true but when you have a being growing inside of you that wants donughts you do it and I have been eating them, sparingly (sp?), ever since. We have been here once and the donughts are great, thanks for letting everyone else know.
