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.

This place is amazing! I am a client of Essential Fitness and love their unique and innovative style of training. I never get bored and am amazed at all the cool new exercises they come up with all of the time. Some examples include flipping giant tires and running the Capital Hill stairs. I almost never perform the same excerise twice and have never had so much fun working out! The trainers here are great motivators. They compete in various activities throughout Seattle alongside their clients, including me. Everything from triatholons, marathons, and hiking mountains. They practice what they preach!

When it comes to bicycle repair, it really depends on the individual. The guy who runs the Montlake Bike Shop. I know, I've forgotten his name is great. He won't oversell and he doesn't laugh if it is old.
Of course, if you really need a good repair, private mail me Andy, I'm pretty good at it!
Also, if you have a gnarly repair, then try Randy over at Gregg's Bellevue Cycle.

I ordered their Apricot Bliss Cake (two layers of maple and one layer of chocolate in the middle) for my baby's first bday party. I had no medical - related reason to go for a vegan, wheat free, gluten free cake, but wanted to go with something other than a traditional grocery store cake. I thought the cake was excellent and so did my mom who is a phenomenal baker. The cake got mixed reviews at the party and unfortunately lots of it got thrown away. My goal was to introduce a cake, with healthier ingredients as well as open people's horizons a bit. Unfortunately, we are so used to seeing cakes from Costco or QFC during birthday parties that it is what people expect to see and taste. I will however keep raving about this bakery and will keep ordering their baked goods.

Wonderful customer service. Reed fitted me on my bike and was kind of enough to help install my bike rack on my car (that I purchased at REI and was still in the box!).
I got great deals on both my bike, wetsuit and clothes. At the time they were clearing out their 2007 inventory-- so I got great deals from 25% off my bike to 50% off my clothes.
After checking out both REI and Greggs, would go back to Speedy Reedy hands down. Great shopping experience for 1st timer going into the triathlon world.

Nothing but good stuff to say about the people and value at Outdoor and More. Whenever I'm asked about getting basic reliable gear and a good price I recommend O & M. Seems that employies are speaking from experience regarding equipment choices and won't sell you stuff you don't need. I will often go up to the big "co-op" up the street and find exactly what i'm looking for and then go to Outdoor and More and buy it. love it...

The North Face brand is durable, priced well, and looks good too. If you are in the area, skip the 3rd party vendors and head straight to the North Face Store on 1st Avenue. You can really take a look at the brand here. They have everything - most of it not carried elsewhere. Even better, if they don't have it, they are more than happy to order it from their catalogue and have it shipped to the store for free.

More
Checka Looka is everything you want a local surf shop to be. The guy who runs the place is super nice, overflowing with enthusiasm about surfing. This is a good place to rent boards and wetsuits for your first time surfing as their rates are some of the best in town, and much cheaper than out on the coast. The shop has a decent array of boards for sale, as well as some used short boards. They sell wetsuits and rash guards, along with the usual apparel. Overall a great shop with none of the usual attitude.

In addition to the down jackets and other gear, they have a great selection of climbing and hiking guides for all the local rocks and mountains and a variety of other destinations from Oregon to Nepal. Great for planning or daydreaming about your next trip.
