I hailed a taxi on 2nd Ave. near the Space Needle to go to the Starbucks on Olive & Denny way. I got in and the man was having a heated discussion on his cell. He starts yelling in another language and finally hangs up, huffs and puffs while I sit silent, but questioning why he's heading all the way down to PIKE STREET when he could have just taken Denny straight up the hill. Then, I realized why...as we sat RED LIGHT AFTER RED LIGHT with the meter ticking away. Finally, at the Convention Center I asked why we didn't go up Denny...he then starts yelling at ME saying, "See, all you guys ALWAYS do this to me...start arguing everything." At that point I say with some sarcasm--I wasn't arguing, just asking and SUGGESTING it. He then goes on to rant and ramble a bunch of crap about how it was MY FAULT for not telling him--to which I responded that HE WAS DRIVING AND SHOUTING ON HIS CELL PHONE--then saying that he didn't KNOW about that route--just after he told me he'd been driving cab for 12 yrs in Seattle--and then, that PEOPLE LIKE GOING THIS WAY. Well, when we stopped the fare was $8.30 to go 3/4 mile!! He turned around with a threatening look, demeanor then chillingly calm and demanded full fare. I reluctanly gave--only b/c I feared what he might do--and then he wasn't going to give me change!! I told him I would wait til he found it then at which point he pulls out 1.75 and threw it back at me. I left and WILL NEVER EVER use YELLOW CAB CO. AGAIN! Car #490 for those who care...beware!

If the heat wave comes back, grab the kids and head to Vasa Park.
This is a large private park at the south west end of Lake Sammamish.
It is usually a few degrees cooler than in town thanks to a gentle breeze (and the lake of course). There are many trees for shade, covered picnic tables, a kids volleyball/soccer "field" and a couple playgrounds.
The best part is the swimming area, swimming platform, diving boards and two small water slides. There is also a boat/jetski launch.
Keep an eye on your kids as the 15-year-old life guards can keep track of all of them.
They are sometimes closed for private gatherings so call before you go.

I got this really cool costume from here that is worth at least a couple thousand. This place makes great suits that anyone should have, and the ties match perfectly. I think I was walking down the street wearing one, and I got at least 8 girls phone numbers, and that’s 8 times more then I have ever got in one walk.

Silver Cloud Inn is a great place to stay if you need stability, friendliness, and an all around good experience. Cookies in the afternoon to snack on, an incredibly friendly staff, yummy continental breakfast and great amenities.
The downtown Bellevue Silver Cloud has an outdoor pool and indoor spa (Redmond has an indoor pool). There's free wi-fi in the lobby, and internet service in the room, hair dryers, irons, refrigerators, and more...really, it's a great place.
Some of the inns have courtesy vans as well. They're also locally owned.

I was going for dinner a little reserved because its a hotel and I was pleasantly surpised. We odered the Chefs special and that it was. I was elegantly presented very clean. The flavor combbinations were different but married very nicely so that all and all it was an exciting dish from start to finish. Hail to the Chef.
Thanks for showing us what a hotel restuarant can accually produce.
