Everyone is bracing for record crowds descending on Eastlake for the Fourth of July. Those crowds and police traffic restrictions will make it tricky heading out for supplies.
What to do if you run out of ice or want a latte or a beer? Go local!
Many businesses in Eastlake, everything from food to flowers, will be open for the Fourth. The list is after the jump.
UPDATE: Added two more restaurants that will be open on the Fourth. Also, Louisa's hours updated and special menu items added. The Seattle Times has a city-wide list of what's open and closed on the holiday.
