I grew up doing martial arts. I had originally been put in at the age of 7 when my parents were trying to get me to learn the same things it sounds like you want your daughter to learn - confidence, focus, (I got a lot of it), etc. From the age of 7 until I went off to college, I attended True Martial Arts in Bellevue/Redmond (they also have a school on the Issaquah Plateau). It is a family-run school that has some of the best teachers in the area. They are extremely accommodating and very good with young kids. It took a few years, but I eventually learned all of the things my parents had hoped for, and so much more.
In terms of specific advice on choosing a school, the one thing I would suggest would be to visit a few different schools and watch an entire class before signing up. Talk with the teacher, talk with the owner, and talk to a student or two. Also, make sure that you are committed to taking your daughter for a number of years, as it is the setting and achieving of goals that makes martial arts so valuable.

Hands down, Speakeasy is the best ISP in the Seattle area. Unlike the major players like Qwest or Verizon, Speakeasy has terrific customer service and is extremely responsive. They have a policy of getting customers turned on as quickly as possible, which can normally happen in a couple of days, instead of the couple of weeks that it normally takes Qwest. Also, they have recently started trialing a wireless internet option, which might be worth inquiring about. Finally, if you're into music or gaming, they have some interesting additional services that you can get from them.
