We just used Express Movers for a move based on the recommendations already written about them. These guys arrived on time, were cheerful for 9 HOURS, patient, helpful, careful. They practically ran through the whole move, never stopping. The amazing thing was that they even offered to move things that we had not yet packed....loose items were not a problem. All our furniture was shrink wrapped, there was never a complaint or hesitancy about any of our requests. When we arrived at the destination, our bed was set up without being asked, boxes were placed in appropriate rooms....and then we got a gift bag. We would highly recommend this mover and think it should win....BEST OF CITYSEARCH!
Pros: cheerful, patient, helpful, FAST, careful
Cons: can't think of any, these guys were great

Pros: Inexpensive, Delicious

They have a free exhibit that's just great! Walking along the waterfront, it's entertaining to just stop and watch the HUGE fish aquarium outside their entrance area. It's very enticing to go inside.
Once inside, the admission is well worth it. There's a large variety of creatures to see. It's very informative, well presented, and a joy to be in.
Prices are a buck well spent. Atmosphere is a-ok.

Great place to leave my Dog. I have a Dachsund and he is very shy. He is not mean, but just not the most outgoing with people and other dogs. They are so great here at making him feel welcome. I feel so comfortable leaving him here. They are the best!!!! I actually had one of the staffers recognized him in the Greenlake area and he was really excited to see her. Makes me feel great!
Pros: Very Nice People, big space, very clean and really Friendly
Cons: None

Scarecrow's got it all, from the newest releases to almost every TV show to foreign films to the most obscure movies in the world. Sometimes the layout can be confusing, as there's a big "director's section" when you walk in and a lot of films are in there so you have to know the director, but the staff is friendly and helpful (not film snobs at all) and are happy to help you find what you're looking for. Also watch out for out-of-print movies: You have to leave a $150 deposit a lot of the time. But other than that, it's simply one of the best stores out there. And if you have a KEXP membership, you get a free rental with every rental!
Pros: Wide selection, Great service, Fun atmosphere
Cons: Parking can be a nightmare, Can be confusing

Ikea's a trek for us, but we usually make it down a few times a year. The prices can't be beat and most of the furniture is cute and nicely made. (No, not exquisite quality or style, but the PRICE. The price!) My family loves to eat in the restaurant here, special favorites are the swedish meatballs (of course!) and lingonberries. The restrooms are large and very kid friendly - with tot sized sinks and step stools. They even have a mom's room, for nursing mothers.
The weekends can be brutal, especially during one of their twice yearly sales, but it's worth it. They have a great selection of art, frames, candles, glassware, dishes, area rugs and even bamboo flooring.
Bottom line - Ikea has it ALL, and at an affordable price.

I love to go places where people take care of me and the Sip and Ship is definitely one of those. From the minute you walk in the door with a stack of things that need to go to multiple locations, with no boxes, no tape- they take it on like it is no worry. Love that. From the "shipping' counter- I'm usually on to the "sipping" counter where I get equally great service and occasionally a piece of Squash bread from Macrina. This is also the place I hit when I am looking for a fun gift for girlfriend or new baby on the block...did I mention their cards...fantastic letterpress and local designers. This is a keeper!

I recently moved to Seattle area, I did not have a clue who to call for help picking up my furniture. I went online and found this company I read the reviews and decided to go with them. I turned out to be a good choice. They did move the heavy pieces of furniture without scratch. This is a honest, friendly & efficient company and they got some strong employees working for them. I will not hesitate to call them each time I needed help.
Thanks

I got a referral to call Mark (206.948.1060)about fixing a dishwasher that wouldn't drain. He was booked for the next few days, but spent some time with me on the phone to suggest a few things I might try to solve the problem. I did a few basic steps and found the problem was solved! I called Mark and offered to pay him for his phone advice, b/c I knew he saved me a bunch of money, but he refused payment. He was really a professional, most helpful. I'll definitely recommend him & call him again.

Dr. Gromko delivered two of my babies. For the first she showed up in formal wear late at night after being out, threw scrubs over her dress and was there for 5 hours acting as birth couch. For hte second no formal wear but amazing heart and skills. Terri now provides primary care for me and my older kids. Good medical is hard to find. They're good. But don't tell anyone. I don't want them to get too busy.
