Arts and Entertainment 20% Complete

BEST Local Bands Woodrush

They recently played where I worked, and everything sounded great. I haven't heard a local band I was willing to drive many miles to see since the Dynamic Logs!!

BEST Museum Museum of Flight

The 800 kilo gorilla!!

Beauty 9% Complete

BEST Day Spa Chrysalis Inn & Spa

Worth the drive, or worth a stop on the way home from BC!!

Cheap Eats 33% Complete

BEST Breakfast Mt Si Golf Course Restaurant

Probably the one thing I miss about living in the Valley is breakfast & brunch at Mt Si GC, especially now that it's football season!!

BEST Burger Small Frye's

When the guys on KJR pimp for Fatburger as "the last great hamburger stand", I just laugh. Of course, these are the guys who said the converted Herfy's on Queen Anne Ave was the original Dick's. BTW, GREAT fries at Small Frye's!!

BEST Greasy Spoon Beth's Cafe

My Dad ate at Beth's in the 50's, and they knew my name in the 70's & 80's.......way before before the Uber-Hip Gen X-Y-Z crowd found it

BEST Sandwich Shop Gere-a-Deli

Killer sandwiches!! Almost makes me not miss Biba's on Queen Anne Ave!! (I still miss my Runch Lush)

Even with the changes in ownership, Eddie Bauer's still quality values

BEST Vintage and Resale Lakeside's Fall & Spring Rummage Sales - dates vary

Always loved Lakeside's sale!!

BEST Asian Fusion The Chatterbox

Thai, Indonesian, Chinese, American, & some Indian. If that ain't fusion......excellent curries. I wish we had this in Anacortes!!

It's not the Polar Bear, Al's Diner, or Brownie's but it's an excellent place in the old home town

Where We Live 63% Complete

BEST Biggest Public Eyesore Tubs Seattle

When it was the Auto Ranch, at least they had makes like DKW, Auto Union, & Nash. When it was The District Tavern, at least it was all the Heidelberg you could drink with your cover. When it was Tub's, at least you could go relax. Now, it's just a pit. It should be at 2nd & Pike!!!

Love it!! Too bad it's gotten so popular!!
