In the face of extreme competition from Whole Foods (which is now sitting right across the street), Larry's has exceeded my expectations admirably. First of all, they now have the most amazing free samples. The other day, they were serving me flank steak, apple juice, and garlic bread as though the store were some kind of crazy bar mitzvah. Second of all, they have the most amazing salad bar ever and a pleasant sitting area in which to enjoy it. Most of all, Larry's, unlike its outrageously expensive counterpart, still has reasonable parking. Have a little extra to spare on groceries? Spend it on Larry's.

Paint the Town is a wonderful ceramics painting studio located in University Village. You choose which ceramic item you wish to paint--plate, mug, platter, bowl, etc. Then following the helpful instructions from the friendly staff, you draw or copy a great design, find the colors you want to use and proceed to paint. You leave the finished piece to be fired. You will be told when to return to pick it up! Each ceramic style is priced and you are also charged by the hour for the time you paint--Seniors paint for half price on Wednesdays! It helps to plan ahead and have some idea of what you want to make, though the owner and staff members are very helpful and have suggestions. This is a great project for groups of young people--come together and each paint something for mom! You will want to return, it is such fun.

Once you make your way up to Mom's Maids and More you can relax and enjoy this aspect of your wedding planning. They have a surprisingly large selection of bridemaid dresses from several different designers. The prices are slightly higher than some other bridal shops, but the high level of service you will receive more than makes up for it.

This place has a great policy and its like any other movie rental store. They have a great selection of movies to choose from, so if you're into oldies you'll probably find quite a few of them here. In the mood for horror or romance, they got it at a good price.

More
I've been buying from the Magnolia Hi-Fi chain for over ten years. I don't buy expensive electronics (TVs, receivers, DVD, speakers, etc) elsewhere. The reason why is, I bought an expensive receiver from their Beaverton (Oregon) store a long time ago, and then suddenly moved. After the move, my receiver didn't work. I called the Bellevue store up, they looked me up and told me to bring it down. I did, they tried to turn it on, and simply handed me a new one they'd put behind the front desk for me. Five minutes of them tapping serial numbers into the computer and I was done.
I go back regularly, and have tried the other stores, but Bellevue, and especially Duane, keeps me coming back. He's been there forever and has a very loyal "clientele". The reasons are that he'll ask you the relevent questions, even suggest you draw up your room, and make suggestions and tell you why. He'll talk you OUT of spending more than you need to, even if you were planning to. And if you ask him to give you a discount, he will - a "prestige sale" or something like that. It can be a pretty decent discount, just for working with him. Which means, of course, that next time you go back to him again, so I'm sure it works out for everyone.
Even though Magnolia is "owned" by Best Buy, I've had lousy experiences (and hard return issues) at Best Buy. I have only positive experiences at the Bellevue Magnolia.

I have never been more pleased with customer service than at Lucky Brand Jeans. Upon entering the store a man approached me very gently and non-obtrusively and asked if he could help me find a pair of jeans. Checking out his immaculate outfit, I agreed, and he right away guessed my size and brought only one pair of jeans to my dressing room after asking what style I was looking for (casual, night-out etc). The singular pair he brought was the perfect pair. He had accurately assessed my sizing with just a glance and brought me the most flattering pair of jeans in the store. As Paris Hilton would say "That's hot."
It's been a year since that purchase and these jeans are still my weekend staple and in perfect condition.
