Help me remember - Seattle mystery series

[steveosmith]

A couple of decades ago there was a series of mystery novels based in Seattle. Our hero frequented a local restaurant named The Dog House and built spectacular sandwiches. I’m at a loss as to who the author was and/or the names of any of the books in the series. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Wow, you'd think I'd be all over that, having been a Seattle journalist and Dog House regular (if there really was such a thing as "regular" in that place)

But I can't come up with much other than J A Jance had a hero named Beaumont who hung at the Dog House
