Jon Mastrude and Seattle Trust Mortgage are great. I've done 3 loans with Jon over the last 13 years and he has always found a way to get the loan done quickly and at very favorable rates. He can be very creative in the way he sets up a loan. Just look at the bottom line: He’ll get you financed fast. He has a line on appraisers and title companies—just leave the details to him and he’ll find a loan program to suit your needs. Tell him Mark sent you.

If you’re downtown and need a deal on a Wusthof knife, check out City Kitchens. They often have Wusthof’s on sale. They have a complete line of small kitchen appliances, gadgets, table ware, bar ware, plates, pots, you name it. Love the salad spinners. The selection will make you dizzy. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Mostly reasonable prices. Do your homework before you impulse buy.

It seems safe to say "Everything Judaica" when in addition to the requisite books, menorahs, jewelry, and yarmulkes, a store has in stock cuddly stuffed Torah scrolls, "bag-o-plagues" for Passover, and "Shalom" license plate holders. But this is not a dis. Tree Of Life caters successfully to a wide range of needs and interests, and also serves as a community resource of information and learning.

I'm not a good shopper, and I don't have a knack for buying gifts. That's why I love Portage Bay Goods. Anything in the store is a good gift, and there is a great balance of practical, wearable, and/or whimsical items to choose from. And yes they will wrap them, and yes there is something for all ages. Just be aware that if you bring inquisitive kids here, you may have to explain a few risqué sayings on magnets, cards, or chatchkes.

I’ve had my Birkenstocks that I bought from MJ Feet for 14 years. MJ Feet has resoled my Birks at least 6 times, and at least two of those times the resole was actually a Birkenstock quadruple bypass—new soles, new cork, and new footbeds all put together with my old broken-in straps, for a fraction of the price of a new pair of birks. If you just need a resole, it’s about $30. The complete rebuild is about $60. They’ll even sell you the soles a la carte for about $15 and you can resole them yourself. By the way, they also sell new Birks and a bunch of other fancy Euro shoes. Nice salespeople.

Rising Sun produce has some great deals on fruit and vegetables. There’s just one problem, whatever I get there seems to be ready for the compost bin within about 3 days of bringing it home. This is just-in-time produce at its best. If you are going to eat it today or tomorrow, Rising Sun is the place for you. Otherwise, you’ll have very contented worms.

Art Tile is a bewildering place to step into—there is just so many varieties of tile, and patterns, and colors, and where do you put it? That’s where the Art tile employees come in. they are more than willing to hand hold you thru your entire tiling process beginning to end. If you want to install it yourself, they’re okay with that. Or, you can let their pros do it for you. Their tile runs the gamut from cheap to down right expensive with everything in between. As usual with this kind of thing, the installation ends up costing as much as the materials, unless you chose that really expensive tile.

I'm no artist, so I'm impressed by any display of canvasses, brushes, and other supplies, of which Dakota has an ample supply. As a parent, what I love about this store is the range of predictable and surprising items for the kids (and for birthday presents for kids you don't know). I always find the art supplies I need here, and other treasures as well. I always find something I want, for myself or for someone else, even if I didn't know it yet. Helpful staff and great location.

And that is just the rub. What is a good price? There is lots of dickering to be done at Direct Buying Service, so do your homework before you shop there. Prices are definitely negotiable. They can get their paws on any kind of built in kitchen appliance made. They also can get fixtures, mattresses, you name it, they can probably get it. There is one sales guy who has this Elvis thing going that definitely gives me the creeps, but I guess it’s better than facial piercing.

In my wife's words:
This place is heaven for any girl who doesn't mind hanging out, literally. You will be warm - warm and dry or warm and wet, according to your preference. There is a LOT of wet here, including various temperature baths, sauna, mugwort tea that people pour over each other, the surprisingly chilly waterfall, and the many substances that get splashed on you as part of the scrub and moisturizing treatments. Did I mention olive oil? If you go for the full-body scrub (and don't bother going if you don't do this), prepare to be treated like prized, high-quality, well-marinated slab of steak. Never again ponder what to ask for as birthday and holiday presents -- just ask for money for a spa visit.
