Have you ever had a craving for pie? Not just any pie, but made from scratch, crispy yet flaky, buttery, still warm from the oven pie. After doing research and speaking to fellow aviators, the consensus is “the” best pie in the Pacific Northwest tri-state area (Oregon, Washington & Idaho) is at Andrea Raymor and Christine Cray’s Spruce Goose Café at Jefferson County International Airport near Port Townsend, Washington.
Yes, it’s a very bold statement. The question is, “what makes a great pie?” First, the pie crust should be buttery, moist, tender and flaky. As any baker knows, not an easy task to pull off. Second the filling needs to excel in taste, appearance and consistency with an added dash of creativity thrown in. Where to have such an experience? Head north to the Spruce Goose Café at to the non-towered Jeff. Co. (0S9), as referred to by the well informed over the CTAF, located in the middle of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.
