Sarah

BEST Hair Salon Allure Salon

Amani at Allure Salon in Belltown is an artistic genius. Her cuts, color, and makeup easily surpass the work done by the bigger salons in town.

BEST Breakfast The Dish

Why is there a vote on this? There is no contest.

BEST Pizza Delancey

Not only is this the best pizza in Seattle, but Delancey is where I discovered Rachel's Ginger Beer. She sells it at the Capitol Hill and Queen Anne markets and a few other places you can find on her website.

BEST Matchmaker 4M Club (Millionaire Matchmaking)

Chris is a wonderful, warm person. She is the polar opposite of that crazy lady on Bravo. A true Seattle treasure.

BEST Neighborhood Bar The Noble Fir

There's a lot to love about Ballard, and Rick and Ellen added one more to the list when they opened their fabulous bar last year.

BEST Bartender Rick @ The Noble Fir

and Ellen, too!

BEST Local Newspaper Columnist/Reporter Timothy Egan

Not sure if this counts because Tim Egan works for the NYT. However, he is based in Seattle and his columns often highlight the Pacific Northwest. He's an incredibly talented writer and a joy to read each week.

BEST Team Mascot Dubs

How is Dubs not on here already?! Sorry, Harry, but Dubs is the *real* Dawg. And a lot cuter and furrier, too.

BEST Dog Park Golden Gardens dog park
