I go to this bakery every morning, just to see a girl named Vicky, because she is so hot that she melts my ice cream! And she has wicked curls. Thank You.

We took the locks cruise during sunset. Seeing the city as well as the mountains at twilight made it worth every penny (it is fairly expensive). This was a birthday gift so I guess its easy for me to say but I wouldn't regret paying for it. The trip was so romantic and beautiful.
The tour guides were pretty informative and the crew was friendly. I think its great for both tourists and locals. You learn a little bit of trivia and if you are new to the area a lot about the different neighborhoods of Seattle. It gives you a good sense of the city. But besides all that, its just fun to go out on a boat trip once in a while and see the salmon jump! :)

The staff there are really happy (too happy?) and seem to like what they do. Yes, they try and get you to stay and be a student for months or years, but they do deliver on their promises to make you a good dancer. Not open on weekends though, which is a bummer.

Blue Ribbon Cooking School primarily offers classes centered on certain menus, the likes of which vary, but are always pretty classy. You might learn how to cook lobster a number of ways or you might learn how to put together a Thanksgiving meal. It's definitely a more authentic kitchen experience than what I've seen at places like Sur La Table, but it isn't ideal for beginners who are unsure about their cooking skills to begin with. At the very least, take a class to see their very pretty, but functional demo kitchen. I wish my house had a kitchen that big!
The owners here seem fairly authentic in their cooking experience, but the learning experience is only so-so. The classes here are mostly hands-on. You'll actually work on real recipes that require you to put together ingredients from scratch. Students rotate from station to station participating in the prep of various dishes that you then sit down to eat together in the diningroom. Because of the way the classes are designed, you don't actually get to work on any one recipe from start to finish (because no kitchen operates serially when an entire meal has to be put together in a matter of hours), but you get to take the recipes home and the chefs at each station will fill you in on what just happened and what will happen with the food after you move to the next station.
The menus and the quality of the food is good and you can learn tidbits of information along the way if you care to ask, but this is not a place where you'll master cooking essentials. Furthermore, you'll have to be prepared to tiptoe around the kitchen. Don't be surprised when Virginia, one of the co-owners, berates you for an offense such as...oh, taking the wrong kind of wine glass into the kitchen. Thank goodness her husband, the other co-owner, is more laid-back and will converse with you about subjects, like where to buy meat (Costco, apparently), without making you feel like a child. If I remember correctly, though, my comment about his handiwork with the knife elicited not a brief explanation of knife technique, but rather, a throwaway response that it just takes practice.
I'll probably come back someday, but only if a menu looks particularly interesting (but then, classes fill up way ahead of time) or if I happen to come back as part of an event (they host big groups for morale events and small receptions).

I have used this company as a vendor for years in my work. They have always been nothing short of outstanding, with every single encounter - no matter the situation. They have a great fleet of cars, wonderful, friendly drivers and excellent service people working behind the scenes.
I highly recommend BMC if you need limo or town car service for any occassion.

Champs Karting is a great place to spend a couple hours. The racing is a lot of fun, and it's even better with a group of friends. Let your competitive side show! They have locations in South Seattle, Redmond, and soon to be re-opened in Mill Creek.

I had a wedding outfit made at Cicada - they're downtown on 1st ave, just north of Pioneer Square. Jennifer, the co-owner, was the seamstress and she was great. They do beautiful and very original work. They're not cheap - my outfit was maybe $700 - but for custom, they're a very good deal.

We had their magician perform for my son's 8th b-day recently. He was hysterical! He was so good with kids that age and the show was really great for the adults as well. He did magic AND juggling AND balloons. Most performers will only do one of those or charge you extra for the whole package.

I brought in a dress with a beaded bodice to be cleaned. The clerk said I'd need to sign a slip that they were not responsible for the beading. That was understandable, so she got out the slip. However, the paper said I was releasing them from ALL responsibility with regard to the garment, which I would not agree to. I'll have to try somewhere else.

This grand old mini mansion on Capital Hill is a great place for a wedding reception. You can rent the whole place or the upstairs or downstairs for less. The upstairs has enough room for a small band and is perfect for dancing. The whole house rents for 1700 dollars for a wedding reception and includes seating, servers, linens, and china, among many other amenities. The house is beautiful both inside and out. Pictures of the site can be found at http://www.rainierchapterhouse.com/pictures.htm
Try this place before you pay more for your wedding reception someplace not as nice.
