Ross

I believe the answer is:

eat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what everybody has to do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'in seattle' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EAT' is hidden within 'seattle'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eat that I've seen before include "Worry" , "Take food" , "Be corrosive" , "Bite, chew and swallow" , "and 27: Be humiliated" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
