I haven't had any personal experience with Don but he gets glowing references from people that I trust. Your experience might be different.
I don't know if would make sense to set up three appointments and agree on one person picking the two that the other gets to pick the one from.
I couldn't choose perfect because I have never heard any one describe their therapist as perfect.

As a non-yoga person, I really liked the class I took here. I had a back injury years back and I have suffered in yoga every since. But not here! I took a gentle class that actually WAS gentle. The teacher paid attention and let me know other poses to do instead. There was a non-competitive feeling and I left feeling good about yoga again. The teachers at WLY are really good. They aren't trying to pack the class or move everyone at the same pace.
I hear the teacher training is also really great.

More
The 12th and Pine state-controlled liquor store is across the street from a police station, police parking lot, and cheap housing where people supposedly buy drugs. They're not supposed to sell alcohol to people who can't walk a straight line to the register or who urinate in their pants on the way. The cashiers keep alcohol at the registers to wipe their hands after handling wet wads of cash handed to them from the pockets of the homeless. Some minors attempt to purchase alcohol with fake IDs, apparently made with the same equipment and materials used by the Department of Motor Vehicles, but sometimes they use a nicer font for the letters, or at least they used to do so. The vile drinks imbibed by panhandlers are hidden because it's more likely that they will steal a plastic flask of 100 proof Monarch Vodka than a $100 bottle of Scotch. If the doors open a minute late, or even if they don't, the "Breakfast Club" (the alcoholics who make a beeline to the gin and vodka when the store opens) tends to get irate; sometimes they rattle the doors when they want them to be unlocked. There are more cameras on the crew than the customers, perhaps because many who get liquor store jobs are alcoholics. The staff members sometimes get threats from irate customers, but actually are pretty safe at night because the hoods and winos don't want to mess with their 'dealers'.

1-800-222-1222, it's an easy phone number to remember, keep it by your telephone. As part of childproofing your home, it is important to discuss the hazards of chemicals and medicine with the children. One way of doing this is visually with Mr. Yuk stickers ('a scowling green face with tongue extended says it all: “Yuk!!” – a wordless cue not to eat, drink or touch a product').
Place the Mr. Yuk stickers on poison hazards and take the necessary precautions, such as placing items out of reach of children, either through cabinet locks or disposal, hopefully accidental poisoning can be prevented. Washington Poison Center, or your local poison center, distributes Mr. Yuk stickers. You can visit their site for a checklist of items to look for ( http://www.wapc.org/safety/mryuk.htm ). It's a great service, it's free and confidential.

When I was first pregnant, I knew nothing about pregnancy, nursing or babies. I was thrilled to be pregnant, but I felt fat, nauseous and a little overwhelmed. Village Maternity's dedicated and knowledgable sales staff (who put Nordstrom's customer service to shame), not only educated me, but made me feel beautiful throughout my pregnancy and after. Village Maternity offers EVERYTHING for mom, and baby from fashionable maternity clothing, nursing pumps and tops, and the most adorable baby and toddler clothes. And, there's always something new! Of course, their location in University Village with so many things for babies and families, is the icing on the cake. I have long since been pregnant and had babies, but I still buy all my baby gifts there, and amazingly some of the same wonderful staff still remembers me. I will never forget them.
Pros: Great selection, Educated Staff, Special
Cons: can be crowded, can be hard to park, space could be larger

We love it!!! We have had a wonderful year coming to the Storybook Acting class at Urban Monkeys for our group of 4-5 year olds. Our kids wait all week for this amazing, dynamic class with the very sweet instructor, Mara, who all the kids love (we carpool 5 kids from the same preschool). When they get in the car they are so excited to go to Urban Monkeys and when they arrive they run in laughing, playing, screaming with excitement! They always want to get there before the class starts to run around in the lobby and play with the toys, balls and puppets. Then, Mara comes out and they get to pick an animal that the group turns into as they line up for class. For instance, they have been worms, crawling their way into the large gym classroom.
The environment is friendly, its a truly beautiful, well-lite space. I love to sit in the lobby and soak in the sun that pours in from the huge windows (when we have it in Seattle!) with my toddler as he plays with the toys while my daughter is in class. The owners greet me every time -- very nice people -- and the other people who work at the desk are delightful!! When the children get out of class (smiling, running happily), they get to color a picture to take home that relates to the book that was read and acted out during class. It is truly one of the best moments of our week to go to Urban Monkeys!! We are so grateful that a unique space like this was created for our kids to enjoy!!
