I get tired of the same-o same-o, except when it comes to quiznos Bourbon Lite Chicken it has got to be the best sand. in the whole world. My mouth just starts watering when I just talk about it. It is so good, that I can't even picture anything else on the menu.

Well, I'm definitely NOT going to comment on Starbucks coffee itself. They are omnipresent, and you can make up your own mind, if you haven't already. I'm just commenting on the location of this one....right in the Green Firs shopping center, which also houses the ubiquitous Trader Joe's (ahhhh, heaven!).
This Starbucks has a nice corner location and spacious table seating outside. Great drive up parking, easy in and out access (isn't that what my fiance says? ;-) Just kidding. This is a good location, nice, friendly employees.

Before my partner got back from Iraq in November 2004, we decided to buy him a Z3. We had been researching it on the internet when he was in Iraq (gotta love today's Army!). The day after he got back, I got a phone call from him asking me to come down to BMW Northwest to check out a little 2000 silver Z3 Roadster. I was excited of course, because I drive a minivan!
We spoke with a salesperson by the name of Kenneth Rachal, who was just a great guy. Not some slick used car salesman. Since my partner was so emotional about being back and getting a neat little Z3, I did the negotiating and dealing with them. They came down $4k in the price and we picked it up for $23k and change. I thought it was a good deal for 36k miles on a 2000 roadster, 2.8 engine.
The only part that was bad about all of this was that when they went to install the aftermarket alarm in their shop, they did it wrong. Turns out though that all aftermarket alarms on BMWs don't work right. We didn't know this until we talked to my BMW afficianado uncle who had this same problem on his BMW.
Great service, great selection, and really nice staff. I'm a tough cookie when it comes to big purchases, and I didn't feel like I was getting "sold." Granted, we were going to get this car anyway (how can you say no to a newly arrived, battle-hardened soldier who wants me to drive his Z3?? LOL), so I would go back if I were in the market for another BMW.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday last year. We had a great seat next to the water, and it wasn't too packed since it was a weekday. We had great steaks, nice, lovely, ambience, great wine, and the staff was attentive and nice. I really like this old guard restaurant and so did he. It was a nice treat, reasonably priced for what we got, and good food.

The gentleman at Alpine was one of the people who was most helpful to me when I was learning about computers. Very knowledgeable, very patient, and always ready to give a little help over the phone if at all possible.
Alpine will make house calls, very important when you're in a bind and need help right now without delay. They carry various parts and accessories, too.

I was strolling in the mall yesterday when I happened to look down the corridor to see a Jamba Juice at the very far end. I'm trying to lose some of my baby weight, so I wanted to eat something healthy. I was going to head down to the Nordstrom espresso stand when I saw them. So I went there. I've never been to a Jamba Juice before.
I ordered a green tea drink with a femme boost. Delicious!!! Granted, it was something like $5 for it. So it was my meal....even though it was a very tasty drink. I would hesitate to order one of these on a regular occasion, only because they are so expensive for a foo-foo healthy Orange Julius.
I wanted to get a drink with more veggies in it, but they don't have those. They only have fruit based drinks, which is not good for those of us on the South Beach Diet! :) There's not really any room for making your own drink like a traditional juice bar either....they are a franchise and they operate like one.
And you can call your drink order in ahead of time and they have curbside pickup service - how cool is that? You just have to maneuver in mall traffic to get there!

CompUSA is a pretty decent store, as chain stores go. It has a large variety of items, a bewildering amount of software, and a huge selection of printers and scanners and digital cameras. Just about any of the latest models can be found here, more than at some of the other large stores.
The staff are helpful, if you can catch one. They tend to spend a lot of time with customers, often getting into lengthy conversations about the items. This is great if it's you who is being so helped, but if you're the one waiting it can be very frustrating! ;-)
I understand that they also do some computer repair, although since I always do my own I've never had reason to use them for that.

I personally just going to auctions to listen and watch people, but this is also a good place to go to get furniture and tools and other things. The only thing is that some of the auctions are during the week so if you work a normal 9-5 job, you are not able to go. It is also a good place to start going if you have not been to an auction before because it is easy to get the hang of it here. You can buy great stuff at great prices.

I love this water store. The water is great and the prices are good. We pay 8.00 for a card with 4 water bottles on it. The staff fill the water bottles quickly and bring them to your car. The do have a contest they run every month with the water cards but I have yet to win. The hours are great...retail hours and the parking is ample.
