BEST Art Gallery Cole Gallery

This gallery not only features fabulous art but also hosts a champagne reception for you to meet the artists! It offers affordable art and excellent advice on artistic mediums. My sister, who is a professional artist in Charlotte, NC, is flying out to take a 3-day class from Cole Gallery this week. Wow! Now that's saying something about their professional expertise!

BEST Fun Place for Kids Childrens Museum Seattle Center

My grandchildren LOVE this place! Lots of hands-on artsy things to do and fun things to explore.

BEST Museum Henry Art Gallery

Fantastic art!

BEST Winery Chateau Ste. Michelle

This place is delightful to visit via train. Great wine and venues.

BEST Body Shop Queen Anne Auto Body

My 2000 Volvo suffered a pretty significant road rash and Queen Anne auto body not only fixed the problem but matched the paint perfectly. It was impossible to tell that the car had ever been "wounded!" Their work is stellar!

BEST Dealerships Bob Byers Seattle Volvo

We just bought a second car from these folks. Very good customer service and a fantastic car.

BEST Hair Color Hair Brokers

Excellent, flawless, lasting color done right!

BEST Hair Salon Hair Brokers

Anita at Hair Brokers has cut my hair perfectly for many years. I can count on the perfect cut and color without worrying that "this one might not turn out!" And the owner, Robyn, is the most cheerful, outgoing person around. They also offer free coffee and popcorn! This is the best hair salon around!

BEST Manicure and Pedicure Queen's Nails

This new little salon across from Safeway manicures and pedicures natural nails only. Finally a place without harsh chemicals that kill brain cells! With the service comes paraffin treatment for hands and feet and the price is the best part -- super reasonable. They are fantastic!

BEST Breakfast Patty's Eggnest

We go to the one off of Holman road and man oh man, you'd better bring your appetite when you eat here. We always take home leftovers for the next day's breakfast. Yummy!

BEST Pizza Garlic Jim's Famous Gourmet Pizza

Delicious and they also do gluten free pizza! Hooray!

BEST Teriyaki Happy Teriyaki #4

Consistently perfect teriyaki. I'm hungry just typing this. They have scrumptious food!

BEST Children's Clothing Childish Things

This place is THE place to go for upscale consignment children's clothes. I love it!

BEST Lingerie Victoria Secret

As a "senior" who does not look like one, I have to say that Victoria's Secret at Northgate has the best sweater bras bar none. I will only buy my bras there and oh by the way, the undies that I bought there nearly 15 years ago? Still look fantastic. The quality can't be beat.

BEST Brunch Arnies Restaurant

This brunch is the best! Free sticky buns and fruit plate with whatever you order. The food is droolingly delicious. I have now talked myself into making reservations for this weekend. It's a great way to enjoy a Sunday morning overlooking the water.

BEST Outdoor Dining Ray's Boathouse

This is the best place to watch sailboats and paddle-boarders -- surf Ballard! And the seafood is the best in the city. Fantastic!

BEST Favorite Local Charity Homeward Pet Adoption Center

I'm seeing you on Evening Magazine and my heart is soaring! If I could adopt another pet, I would definitely come to your center. Thank you for your love and dedication to animals that fill our hearts and homes with love.

BEST Grooming City Kitty

This amazing grooming place for cats only is the best! The owner, Adrienne, is a teaching professional in the grooming community, and is also compassionate, very gentle, and really in tune with cats. City Kitty is clean and peaceful --- aroma therapy even! I take all of my 4 cats there every 6 weeks to keep them healthy and clean. I love this place and so do my cats!
