Sweet, juicy, and fragrant, ripe summer peaches are the pinnacle of the season’s fresh produce, and August is National Peach Month, so there’s no better time to enjoy them. Though you may not be able to get millions of them (cue the Presidents of the United States of America), we’ve hand-picked 18 places in Seattle where you can consume as much of the succulent stone fruit as possible in all its different forms, including beer, cupcakes, pizza, pie, and popsicles.
