I have worked with Nancy Heller, on and off, for about two years. It has made a marked difference for me.
Nancy has a real handle on the theories underlying family psychodynamics and family systems including those affected by addiction or abuse. I have gained clarification around and developed a much deeper understanding of my thought patterns and feelings which has empowered me to make good choices in my relationships with my husband and extended family (of origin--mom, dad, steps).
Nancy Heller works with families, couples and individuals. Her number is 285-2209

We had our 1926 house bolted down to the foundation by these guys, and they were great. Seismic retrofitting is one of the top things to do to be prepared for emergencies in Seattle. The cost was a little high, but when you consider that it only cost 1.2% of the value of the entire house, and may, if something particularly nasty happens along the Seattle Fault while we're in the house, save our lives, we splurged.
Jackson Remodelling is also know as Sound Seismic, as they have branched out to remodelling from their seismic retrofit work. Many people like to do a full basement remodel along with the retrofit, but we stuck with the basics, which include bolting the mudsill to the concrete foundation, attaching the first floor to the wood foundation walls, and creating stiff sheer walls above the concrete foundation. In installing these walls, they put in insulation, for added comfort.
It took them 5 days, their crew was very friendly, effecient, and tidy, and were willing to to a few little extras at our request. I value a clean jobsite greatly, as it shows they care, and I was happy to see how clean they were at the end of each day.
We are probably going to get bids from them for a little upstairs project we have coming up just because we liked their work so much.

Have you ever had a really bad argument with a significant other and wondered if they knew what they looked like as they said things that hurt your feelings? Have you ever wanted to hook your partner up to a polygraph? Dr. Gottman http://www.gottman.com/ does something like this; he shows what couples look like when they're arguing, helps them to see what they're not seeing or hearing -- like sincere attempts to connect -- and helps onlookers to understand what the couple is really doing. His methods may help you to experience a paradigm shift in your own perceptions, and help you to hold on to what is good and precious in life, but only if you listen! They also sell a home version of their "pulse monitor https://www.orderport.net/gottmancatalog/Slist.asp?pg=TOOLS&psg=PRO&v=OTHER&m=&ih=7 ".... I'm glad that Jerry Springer didn't think of it first!

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

May as well make it Harborview. If you don't have insurance, Harborview is the place to go. But avoid the insainity of the ER and check yourself into the Urgent Care Clinic. The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. For as much as I'm disinclined to trust western medicine, I felt like they were giving my partner good service when she had to go there. I got the feeling they wanted to make sure they knew what was wrong rather than going with their first notion. The residents were attentive and insightful and seemed genuinely interested in helping rather than just moving another patient through.
PROS: If you don't have insurance, that's ok. They'll work out a payment plan with you.
CONS:

I definitely appreciate what NW Harvest does. They are a valuable asset to our community and are an overall great group to work with. I’ve seen the impact that they can have on people’s lives and it is amazing what a little goodwill can do to help a family. If you ever have a chance, donate to the cause, or even volunteer to help.

Victoria Coen is located on Queen Anne, right down the street from Trader Joe's.
Victoria is a thoughtful and helpful therapist who truly listens, offers input and suggestions, and many times, sends you on your way with practical activities to incorporate into your daily life. Having a conversation with Victoria is the norm -- you're not just being asked questions and doing all the talking.
The only drawback is that, when I was seeing her, her appointments tended to run over, so I was not always on schedule. She did begin allotting 90 minutes for sessions, however, so this problem might be alleviated by now.
Victoria does both individual and couples therapy. Highly recommend.

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.

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.
