I have had several jobs done at Huling Brothers Auto Body Shop and I have never been disappointed. In fact, our insurance company trusts them so much they don't require two estimates if one of them is with Huling. The shop is part of a huge dealership in West Seattle. You don't need an appointment for an estimate. I would recommend them to anyone.

Scarecrow Video is world famous for its selection of things that go into your DVD player or VCR. Classics, cult classics, new classics, B movies, adult film, whatever! One special thing about the place, besides its sheer volume, is that most films are categorized by director. Now that is a geeky way to categorize, c'mon!
Of course, the staff are much more knowledgable than you are. Buy and/or rent.

The Frye Art Museum is inconveniently and unfortunately located on Boren and Terry on First Hill, a deplorable area to navigate by foot, car, bicycle, or bus.
But once you get inside this totally free art museum you will be met with a nice space and some great work. Of course the art is always changing, but when I was there I saw some real David Horsey drawings. How interesting to see political cartoons in their original ink.
The Frye displays all sorts of other world-class art. For free!

I think it is pretty interesting how they put such a huge theater on the 5th floor of a mall downtown. Some fancy architect must have had a good time with it. The architecture itself is kind of interestingIn the lobby they have this open-space-above-your-head-with-raw-timber-post-and-beam- construction thing going. What really strikes me is the amount of empty space in this theater, where the cielings in the lobby must be 50 feet high. The lobby has two levels with an escalator connecting them. My advice is to get whatever goodies you want on the lower level since the upper level is often closed. Other than the space the theater is average.

What bothers me most about the Oak Tree is that every member of the staff that you interact with has to mention by some employment rule that you are watching a movie owned by a company called Lowe's. "Welcome to Lowe's", "thank you for coming to Lowe's", etc. After seeing a couple of movies there, it is enough to make me gag on my popcorn (extra buttery). Other than that, the theater is totally average, with the usual over-priced junk food and movies.
You can just picture some suit "upstairs" in management saying "I know, lets make every single customer know in their mind, body and soul, that our fine company owns that theater!!!" I don't really care, and it is really annoying to hear slogans from kids when I am trying to block out reality with a movie.

What is nice about Elephant carwash, besides the big pink elephant neon sign, is that it is a full-service carwash that works fast. You can get anything from an exterior wash with a human-hand wipe-down for around $16.00, all the way up to the platinum package, which costs about $45.00. The platinum package gets your vinyl, tires, rims, floor, etc cleaned. Basically, the 'full meal deal' of carwashes.
My recommendation, if you are getting the Platinum package at least, is to make it obvious you are going to tip them, and personally inspect the car for any missed spots. There are always spots they missed. As long as you are willing to take an active part in the process, you can get your car cleaned really well for $50.00 and a half and hour of your time.

The Neptune personifies how a business can successfully use heritage architecture to their benefit. The Neptune is a work of art in itself. The Greek God Neptune is a theme that is exploited in a way that no theater would exploit a theme in our day, with paintings and carvings integrated into the architecture. The staff appears to be students, who are clearly not working a corporate image, which is refreshing. Furthermore, the candy is mostly chocolate, and they give you water for free. It is just one of those theaters that cares about movies and is not bent of profit. Which is nice.

Mr. Bill's is a 50's style diner packed with 50's memorabilia. Among such charming details as pink neon lighting and waitress-legs, the pervasive Howdy Doody images seem, well, appropriate. The menu is loaded with all kinds of burgers and melts, and you can get a decent malt there too, if your into that kind of thing. The food is good. The bar is open from 6am to 2am every single night, and has a big screen tv, but no pool or darts. Even the non-smoking area smells smoky, and the bathrooms are nasty. If they were updated or at least cleaned really well, I would give Mr. Bills 4 stars.

After a semi-tramatic experience with Windemere, where my roomates and I were refused a place based on our age, Excel properties was non-discriminatory and very helpful. Anne-Marie Kriedler, the president, has always been super-nice and knowledgable about the current Seattle market--especially in the Greenlake area. We have used them as our agent to acquire 2 rentals and a condo puchase, and have never been disappointed.

Bottleworks is a great Seattle independent small business with youthful flava. The staff know their beers. Give them an idea of your taste in beer and they will navigate you through the intimidating variety of beers from around the world. Or, you can always just wander through and buy based on the label. Or, you can research your beer online and then come in with a list. They will most likely be stocked with what you need.
