This is a very new sushi restaurant on 1st and Spring. It's a descent size restaurant with inside and outside seatings. The decor is modern and trendy. Owner Jesmine will greet you and even take your orders. The sushi is fresh and fairly generous portion. My only complaint is their lunch can be slow even when it's not really busy. Maybe it's because it's so new. Anyway, one time it took me more than one hour to finish while there were only about five to six tables.

This office has several doctors. They are all affiliated with Overlake Hospital. Located only a couple of blocks away from the hospital, the office is actually not very easy to find since it's hiding behind the trees off 116th Ave. The doctors here are all very experienced and patient. But some of the nurses are not so good. One nurse made some comments on a couple of occasions that suggesting my wife's lab results are not so good. And each time it turned out just fine. These nurses really consider making suggestive comments especially without asking the doctors first. It may not be a big deal for them, but it always worries the mom-to-be's.

Housed in a former shcool building, this is a neighborhood museum that focuses on the experiences of Scandinavian immigrants in Seattle. But it also have exhibits of Scandinavian and its insprited art. The Dream of American exhibit on the first floor explains why Scandinavians began immigrating to the U.S. and how they ended up settling in Ballard. Up on the third floor, each of the Nordic countries gets a display room of its own. If you come in the mid-July, you will be able to enjoy Nordic foods during the Tivoli/Viking Days festival.

Seattle is a city of water. So it's not surprising to see this interactive promotion for modern fishing and shipping. It is located at the end of the Seattle waterfront. The target audience is kids. There are more than 40 hands-on exhibits highlighting Seattle's modern working waterfront and its links to the sea. Exhibits include a kid-size fishing boat, (Your kids will love it!) a virtual kayak trip through the Puget Sound, and a live radar center that allows you to track the movement of vessels in Elliott Bay. Cool! In another exhibit, you get to use a simulated crane to practice loading a scale model of a cargo ship. What an unique experience!

My friend highly recommended me this dentist office in Issaquah. So when we moved into our new house in Issaquah, this was the first choice. Plus, they promote themselves actively. In my welcome basket to our new home, there was several little gifts from this office. After visiting them, I am not disappointed. They are very friendly and do good quality of work. I even heard stories about them doing free dental work to some people who couldn't afford the services. Kudos to them!

This art gallery / museum focuses on contemporary art with retrospectives of individual artists, as well as exhibits focusing on specific themes or media. The gallery benefits from large, well-lit gallery spaces illuminated by pyramidal and cubic skylights that can be seen as soon as you enter the main entrence. Photography and video are both well represented. The newest installation is Skyspace. It's a small room with oval opening in the ceiling to frame the sky. There is a cafe in the gallery where you can grab a sandwich.

This Cold War-era Russian submarine is berthed just south of Washington State Ferries' Colman Dock at the south end of the waterfront, and the long black submarine is an ominous sight on this touristy stretch of Seattle shoreline. The sub, code-named Cobra, was built in 1972 and was in service for 20 years. After watching an introductory video, which provides a bit of background on Russian submarines, you will board the sub for a self-guided tour of the main deck. An audio recording explanins what you are seeing as you walk through. For anyone who lived through the Cold War, it is exciting just to be inside a sub that was once considered "the enemy." The admission is $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and children.

I actually don't know too many cities have museums just for children. But Seattle has one. It's located in the basemaent of the Center House at the Seattle center, which is right by the Space Needle. One day we were touring the Seattle Center and my son saw a bunch of kids were playing down there. So he immediately wanted to play too. It's kind of expensive, $7.50 for adults and kids. But there are some cultural exhibits and a child-size neighborhood, which my son did seem enjoyed very much. Overall, you will probably spend about an hour or so here.

Probably not many people have heard of this place. This tiny little one-room museum is fun to see. In 1890s, the would-be miners heading for the Klondike goldfields ( in Canada) made Seattle their outfitting center and contributed to the later prosper of the city. When they struck it rich up north, they headed back to Seattle to unload their gold, making Seattle doubly rich. I heard there are plans to move this little museum into a historic building at the corner of South Jackson Street and 2nd Ave in the near future.

If you drive along the 4th Ave in downtown Seattle, you are sure to notice an unique building with all glass exterior in a shape you can't quite figure out what it stands for. Well, this is the new Seattle Public Library. The library is designed by Rem Koolhass. I believe on the shape of the library supposedly represent an open book. I will have to admit it's hard to tell. But whether you like the design or not. It is a very good library. The membership is free if you are a King County resident. There are 7 stories inside of the library with tons of great books including lots of international books. Self check-outs are every where as well as free computers with internet access. You can also hold a book online with a few clicks. I have been using it very frequently.
