The Experience Music Project is a unique museum like no other in the world. Admittedly, I'm a huge music fan, but I think even the casual fan will easily find they can spend hours exploring the EMP. The galleries are filled with incredible memorabilia, and the museum audio guide (definitely worth the nominal extra cost) really brings the items on display alive. Sound Lab is an amazing opportunity to learn how to play guitar, drums, or keyboards in 10 minutes or less. Make sure you don't miss the theatre on the bottom level that screens interesting short films featuring the artists showcased in the galleries. Admission is not cheap, but the value is well worth the cost.

I am new to the Seattle area, and used to have a regular dentist that I saw at least once a year. I have been reluctant to seek out a new dentist because I have a lot of dental anxiety. As a child, I had terrible experience at the dentist and since then, it has been very difficult for me to find a dentist that I can trust. Since I moved almost 2years ago now, I just couldn't put my teeth off any longer! I was told about Oak Tree Dental by a friend, and what a great friend she is! When I came in the office on the first day, I already felt at ease by the clean, comfortable lobby and staff. Everything was so well organized and put together. My insurance was already obtained and they had a CLEAR understanding of how it worked. Once I finished with my x-rays and exam, they had a clear outline of what needed to be done and why. Very thorough! I thought for sure that I would have to bill my insurance for my visit that day. No other dental offices that I have been to have time to bill that many insurance companies, let alone keep track of that many plans. But they told me not to worry, and that they would bill them for me, I couldnt believe it. I couldnt have asked for more.

I have visited this garden several times but today was transforming - there was a Japanese music duo playing music in the garden. Everyone should know! They play lovely music in the garden on Sunday afternoons! I had to blink to remind myself that I wasn't in Japan - the combination of the scenery and the music was just like stepping into another world.
Pros: Wonderful ambience. Low-cost healing for the soul.

I'm generally not a very creative person when it comes to art. But Paint the Town brings out the creativity side of me. I love how you can personalize your own mugs, bowls, plates, picture frames and more. I made a mug for my fiance and wrote my name on it. It's a pretty fun place. The mug cost me $8, and they charge $6/hr. If you go on Weds., it's ladies night and they have specials, such as discounts on the hourly rate. You can also take your kids here and spend some family time with them. Kids would love this place, they get to paint things and see their final products in a week. Highly recommended! It's also a great date place too!

If you are an acoustic musician, your local Guitar Center may not give you the right kind of romantic feeling. Dusty Strings in downtown Fremont is one of those hidden treasures that just makes you want to play. It's not easy to find parking in Fremont, especially on the weekend. But you'll find that Dusty Strings has an expert staff and a collection of acoustic instruments that are second to none. This place exudes craftsmanship and quality. You'll find guitars to dulcimers, whistles to harps.

The first thing I wanted to do when I visited Seattle was go up to the top of the space needle. The views are amazing. You can see Lake Washington, Lake Union, and all of the neighborhoods of Seattle. The staff was great, and the food was delicious! Highly recommended. It is rather pricey, but is well worth it.

If you’re tired of the Starbucks and Peet’s coffee chains, head to the Fremont Coffee House, just a couple of blocks west from Fremont Ave on 35th. This coffee spot has a great feel as it is built inside a regular family house with rooms and nooks that carve out semi private spots to read or work on your laptop. They offer pretty much everything that Starbucks does, plus have a great selection of rootbeers and tasty desserts (my favorite was the cardamom cake). There is also seating outside for when it’s nice.

Ever get home from work only to be greeted by flavorless left-overs and insipid network television; then Seattle’s Central Cinema is the place for you! Like some magical all-curing elixir, the Central Cinema is a guaranteed remedy for the “dull evening” blues. Set inconspicuously on the corner of 21st & Union, this place has everything you want in a convenient, inexpensive and entertaining evening: easy street parking, great food, beer & wine, good service, and of course, movies that entertain*. Tickets are only $5 and they have $5 pizzas and $10 pitchers during happy hour! I admit that this review is completely biased. I love this place and go there all the time and I want to make sure this place stays in business. So check it out… http://www.central-cinema.com/
*The word “entertain” may be subjective but entertain is what these movies do by anyone’s definition. They may be great, they may be terrible, and sometimes it is too close to call. Where they get their play list is a mystery. Late night commercials on IFC? Obscure corners of IMDB? One thing is for sure…you walk away with plenty of conversation and a feeling that you did something fulfilling with your evening.

This is a really nice little comic store. It’s actually more like a regular store of some other type than a comic shop—by that I mean less “specialized” products, things that would appeal to a mass audience rather than just comics readers. They carry comics, trades, toys, figures, sculptures, games, pictures (of movie stars and more), and other comics related merchandise. They have a knowledgeable and friendly staff, and it’s a truly fun place to go in.
