Friends Playcare is awesome, our 15 month old daughter has been going since Feb and I could not ask for a more loving and nurting enviorment for my child. We went through nannies, an au pair, and 2 daycare centers before we found Friends, I now can relax at work knowing my little one is in great hands. Since attending friends playcare my daughter has learned how to sign, has increased her vocabulary and comes home happy. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent, it is the next best thing to having them stay at home.

Vida Placer is one of these little shops that's located on a corner and since it's pretty small - it's very easily overlooked. The name certainly doesn't invite anyone in (at least anyone who doesn't speak Spanish), but once you come in - shield your eyes, because they will get a blast of most brilliant color on very original and beautiful artwork on ceramic, metal and other materials, mostly priced low enough not to send you out the door as soon as you walk in.
This place is quaint, but it's got some gorgeous gift ideas. The owner, Maria, is a pleasure to talk to and knows all there is to know about the art and the people who create it. Most of it is imported from high end artisans of Mexico and it's all carefully handcrafted and painted. And the paint work on some items is truly spectacular.
So, if you're looking to decorate your place on a budget or want to buy a very unique, extremely nice and possibly one of a kind gift - that's the place to go.
They also have a web site at www.vidaplacer.com which shows many items and has online ordering.
Currently (through the end of 2006) she also has a 20% off sale on already unbelievably reasonable (read: some items beg to cost more but don't) prices.
Highly recommend it!

I deal with many restaurants in my line of business (www.takeout-online.com) and most of the time it's just another place, regardless of cuisine... but once in a while I come across a gem, one of these places that isn't well known (yet), but should be and Cocorico Cafe & Bakery is such a place, without a doubt.
The new owner is young, but she has a very impressive resume when it comes to cooking savvy and management of restaurants. She also has many innovating ideas for the future. One thing she already did is change some of the recipes and add some new dishes for some mouthwatering results.
The bottom line is - you now have a large selection of incredibly tasty, freshly made - soups, sandwiches, salads & pastries for lunch, breakfast & dinner. They're all very reasonably priced, even though they truly stand out from just about any other restaurant. In fact, I don't think there's another restaurant in Kirkland that can match the selection, variety and uniqueness, yet offering great taste no matter what you order. Definitely recommend it for anyone wanting something new & delicious.
Chelsea, the owner, is also very friendly and even though she's only been there a short while, knows favorite dishes of many repeat customers. Once you come in and talk to her - you feel like you've known her for a while and talking to a friend. She wants that kind of friendly, "Cheers"-like, atmosphere to be at the restaurant and she certainly does a great job facilitating it.
I rarely recommend a particular restaurant so intently, but I do this one. It became my favorite place for lunch in Kirkland very quickly (also I'm a sucker for a good dessert and this place is it for those). Do yourself a favor - go there for lunch or dinner, recommend it to friends - they'll thank you for it. Highly recommend it!
P.S. It is my understanding that Cocorico is providing catering services for parties of any size, custom desserts & more. Contact Chelsea for details.
P.P.S. Last but not least - a shamelss plug... they were also savvy enough to offer online takeout ordering via Takeout-Online.com, so feel free to look at their menu there (and order), go to their web site @ www.Cocorico-Cafe.com and stop by the restaurant - you'll be glad you did!

It was a rainy afternoon in Kirkland and between meetings I thought I'd stop by Oriel and get a cup of coffee and something to go with it, like a piece of decent cake. Typically just getting a piece of cake just doesn't sound right, but when it's a compliment to coffee - then it's totally ok.
As soon as I sat down a friendly young man came to my table to take the order. I asked him a few questions regarding the cake selection and made my choice to go along with my cappuccino.
Few minutes later I had a large size cup in front of me, as well as not necessarily the healthiest piece of cake, but certainly excessively tasty (the usual compromise).
I was expecting to see some decoration on top of my cappuccino (like a design or sort), but didn't, it was plain. And to top it off the friendly waiter apologized for caramel on the plate being slightly runny. I did see that the cake was a centerpiece on a plate that was nicely decorated and when I looked down on the 'runny' part - it was amazing, because it wasn't 'runny' - it actually had my name spelled in caramel - a most nice gesture and touch.
Certainly was a very nice experience. I had my coffee and the cake that came with it and was totally ready for my next meeting.
Would I recommend Oriel? Absolutely. Go check it out for yourself. You may not have your name written on a plate necessarily, but you will get to choose from a large and interesting menu, eat in a nice modern establishment, right in the heart of Kirkland.
Oh yes, they also now have a beautiful web site at www.oriel-cafe.com and you can even order takeout from them via Takeout Online. Oriel's menus (breakfast, lunch, dinner and special Kid's menu) can be accessed at www.takeout-online.com/oriel/
Welcome to Kirkland, Oriel - it's nice to have you here!

If you're looking for excellent Italian food on the eastside, then Clancy's Bistro is your place. It's in Kirkland, just north of Carrilon Point, in the same location of the former Foghorn restaurant on Lake Washington Blvd. Both the head chef and maitre'd previously worked at Il Terrazzo Carmine (in Pioneer Sq). The food is excellent and the views from the restaurant are spectacular, especially during sunset hours. We go there at least once a month. My favorite dishes are: Calamari al Salto, Linguini al Granchio. Check it out next time you're in the mood for Italian!

Salmon Creek Restaurant in Kirkland (Juanita Village) has excellent Japanese grilled items. Lunch Bento Boxes for $7.95 are great and filling. The quality is consistently fresh, and staff is friendly. I have not tried their Sushi. The restaurant is somewhat hidden behind Walgreens and near Massage Envy - just down the alley from Starbucks. www.salmoncreeksushi.com

Well, I don't know what kind of PT you need, but Lisa Gomez over at Eastside Sports Rehab is really good. They are not that far from Seattle. Just at the I-405 exit.
So, if the condition is serious, recommend you see someone there. I've heard lots of horror stories and these folks have taken quite a few of ACL-challenged folks from zero back to 110% of athletic ability.

Dr. Everett and his team are friendly and thorough. When it comes to going to the dentist who really wants to go? As a child, it was like pulling teeth to get me even in the car to drive to the dentist. Pun intended. As an adult it is even more crucial to go regularly. It shows your children that it is important for all of us to get checked. Ignore your teeth and they will go away. Dr. Everett and his team are extremely professional and make it a more pleasant experience by letting you know that they care for you and your smile. They are great with kids

Mark runs Marine Restoration. He used to work at Waterfront Construction, the 800 lb gorilla of dock work, but went on his own a few years ago.
He's done a great job for us on everything from two boat lifts, to jacking up the foundation of boathouse that was falling apart to making sure all the skirting stays up.
Very responsive and I love the fact he does email. Even emails you the invoices which for us snail mail challenged is great.
He's got quite a few crews now, so he's gotten busy, but still great personal service.
