If you're in the unlucky circumstance where you need to hire a criminal attorney and you aren't on a strict budget, then I would personally recommend considering Michael Lambo.
First, he's on the spendy side, but he's very very good. The 'get what you pay for' cliche applies here, but Michael Lambo will cut through and deliver a first class criminal defense. He indicates in his consultation that he puts a good effort in the investigation phase of the defense which is what turned out for me to make the difference.
If I recall properly, Michael has backrground in his early days as a Bellevue Police officer, then as a prosecutor for King County, then over 15 years in criminal defense attorney.
I have used Mr. Lambo's services and he's saved my butt from a big problem that thankfully is behind me.

I have friends who are cycle maniacs and they like Greggs, but when I needed a new pair of rollerblades, I was referred to Greggs.
Turns out that Gregg's cycle shop has an entire staff/area dedicated to rollerblades and these guys really know their stuff. I had no idea there were was such a vast assortment of stuff.
I ended up buying a pair of blades and then a few years later another pair. I'm now an avid rollerblader with great equipment - I never would have come to enjoy rollerblading had I not visited Greggs to get the exposure to the product lines available, and the expertise to walk me through what was best for what I needed.

I've been using tanning salons for years, but this one is cut above the rest. The reason isn't complex - they just have a great selection of beds and because it's first-come-first serve, you can amost always just show up and get in, rather than have to arrive at a fixed time.
They also have the tanning bed that spays you with a tanning chemical which seems to work (I've seen women with those resuls), but I have never used the chemical tan.
The other thing I like is how their computers are linked up so I can go from salon to salon and use my account info without any fuss.

I don't usually have great things to say about dentists because usually, it seems, they're after your money which is seldom covered much by insurance. But I can honestly say this guy is a notch or three above the rest.
One thing I really like about Dr. Robison is that he uses technology in his office that improves his service even though he doesn't get paid any more for using. This shoes that he's willing to invest in tools to improve his service levels, even if it's an expense of his own.
One example of this is his "air abrasion" tool that he will use in-lieu of a drill. For many decay issues, this tool has a miniature sand-blaster that can be used instead of the drill. The benefits to this is that you do not need novicain or injections and it's painless. I was in and out with a filling in 20 minutes because no drilling and no novacain... and no pain!
I recommend Tim - a good guy, thorough and well run nice staff.

I was sure in for a big surprise when I walked into Lexus of Bellevue to purchase a Lexus Coupe. The sales department was first class - everything went perfectly (in contrast to my horrible experience with Bellevue BMW) with talking price, scheduling times for test drives, etc. (I might also mention that I prefer the BMW product over the Lexus, but the sales experience between the two Bellevue area dealerships was completely opposite).
Once owning the Lexus, I came back for a service issue and that is when my second surprise arrived - I don't think they could have handled it any worse. The car was not only not fixed, but they scratched the door and gave me back my car with nothing fixed and more damage.
Trying to get this issue resolved was absolutely horrible. I finally went to my sales guy and said, "Look, Dude, you were great, but what the heck is going on over here in service?". He apologized and handled the issue and urged that I write a letter, which I did.
But I shouldn't have to write a letter to get my Lexus serviced and even though I wrote a letter, I was not compensated in any way other than the fact they took my car for a week while they had the door repainted. Even then the problem wasn't resolved and it took yet a 4th trip to get the issue fixed.
The attitudes and overal customer experience at Lexus of Bellevue in service is very poor, so I would recommend purchasing a Lexus there, but servicing it elsewhere (Lexus of Seattle, etc).

I've been to Bellevue Auto Rebuild (unfortunately) over five times now to handle complex repair jobs (one incident costing over $35k in repairs) to small ones (fixing a keyed door) for my BMW's, Mercedes, and Lexus'.
I have found that the quality of the paintwork and overall craftmanship is excellent, but their downside is that they always miss their deadlines which causes problems with making arrangements around the time you get your car back.
I'd rather have my car done right than on time, and I have not yet found a place that has the level of expertise to working on my cars.
I recommend BAR, but I do so with the caveat that you give yourself plenty of extra time at the end day they indicate it will be done.

There are many great restaurants in Seattle but very few of them match service with the product. Usually you get three star service with a four star restaurant, and sometimes this comes as a five star price.
Where can you go for an affordable meal and get amazing service and just succulent, delicious cuisine?
The answer is Nells.
Located right in Greenlake, this smaller restaurant gives AMAZING, nearly perfect service that Rivals any restaurant in Seattle and couples it with great, delicious cuisine. The ambiance is slightly understate as this is a nicely converted stripmall installment, but don't let that fool you. You feel like a VIP the moment you walk in.
Everyone is extremely friendly and executes with perfection from arrival to departure.
I recommend the strawberry rhubarb if it's in season for dessert - out of this world.
Great wine list and the menu always has a super selection.

I switched to T-mobile a couple years ago after doing a survey with friends who used their service. It all looked good, so I made the switch from Verizon to save a lot of money (Verizon was fine but was just very expensive).
I was very happy with how the switch went and everyone I delt with was very friendly. I was a satisfied customer for well over 18 months.
But as things have changed, I am now paying too much compared to other providers. But as a loyal customer, I stayed with Tmobile because I was happy with the service.
But that began to change when I accidentally went over my package minutes. My usual $110 bill was $390 - the typical high .35 a minute penalty for overages. I was shocked but called Tmobile to see what they could do. I was willing to commit another year of service and upgrade my plan to something that would have accomodated my overrage, but NO WAY. They gave me a provisionary credit of $40. I was really disappointed.
With Verizon, they would offer you an opportunity to retroactively change your plan if you were willing to extend your contract length another year. This was fine, but Tmobile really stuck it to me.
So if that wasn't enough, I made a recent call to 411. I knew the address of the place I wanted to reach as I had called them many times, but they didn't have it in their file. I mentioned that it must be missing from their database and they guy said "It doesnt exist, it's not in our business file". I said "IT does exist, I talk to them often and I'm heading there now". This joker was arguing with me of whether or not it exists. I asked for a credit and he declined because "I already provided you a search". I was getting frustrated because the company DID exists and the number was missing from T-mobiles db and this joker wasn't going to give me a credit.
I hung the phone, called a friend to look it up on qwestdex.com, then called Tmobile back and asked for a supervisor. They did credit the $1.25 call but why should I have to go though this?
Tmobile's coverage is also getting maxed out-- calls get dropped more and more even though signal is decent. This means they're not expanding their existing coverage zones with more channels.
I've reach the point where it's time to move on as Tmobile service is on the lame side and their coverage isn't keeping up with demand.

That title sounds a bit profound, but I can't underscore it enough.
The owner, Tony, is always in the store. Tony is the reason why this cleaning outfit is the best.
If Tony's dry cleaning shop was a car, it would be a Rolls Royce. Perfection in every way possible. Tony treats every customer with amazing respect and remembers everyons name and face. Tony doesn't make mistakes - ever. I've been going to his shop for 5-6 years now and he's NEVER made an error. Never a broken button, an overstarched (or under) shirt. Never late. I don't know how he does it, but he does. When a button breaks, he just fixes it and that's that. No charge. Sometimes if he sees you pull up, he'll have your clothes up front waiting for you before you get in the store. He's THAT good.
There are no mistakes, no fusses, no issues - just the best quality cleaning period and I'll drive for miles if I must to make sure that Tony's Sun Cleaners handles all of my needs.

Tired of Kidd Valey and Burgermaster all tasting the same?
This place makes the best burger, period. It's so fresh that when you bite in, you can feel the cold lettuce and tomato, while feeling the zingy hot beef. The bacon is crisp and the whole thing is just a heavenly creation of perfection.
I'm not a milk shake fan, but each time I go, everyone seems to make a big ruckass about the shakes, so I think they must be good as well.
All I know is when I have a hamburger anywhere else, I am always thinking "not quite as good as Wibbleys" ... and these burgers are priced right too - between 3-5 bucks.
