The reason Timberline does not have school on the weekends is not to let students cool off after a long week, but rather the crosswalk button that connects Timberline to the Starbucks across the street. Everyone goes there; it’s crowded and you spend most of your lunch waiting in line. Why not go somewhere equally delicious while breaking away from the ravenous horde of people? Here are some other options you can explore that can help you beat the crowd and make the most out of your quick lunch break.
