Ivars on the montlake cut is one of my favorite happy hour deals. They have a great bar on the water so you can watch the boats traveling to and from lake washington. They have beer specials and discounted appetizers to go along with the great scenery. Also, in the summer months they have a balcony so you can be even closer to the water or even boat up to their dock for a snack.

Blue C Sushi is to sushi as starbucks is to coffee. They are a high quality superchain that seems to have got it right. The atmosphere is casual with a cool conveyor belt that constantly has sushi plates rotating around the chef. The plates are color coded by price so you know how much each item costs. When it is time to leave, they simply count up your plates to determine your total. They seem to be adding more and more franchises - look for them to expand rapidly. I can say for sure that the U village and Fremont stores have awesome service and are reasonably priced. If you like sushi and haven't tried this place, you need to.

Imagine a Dick's burger except scaled up in size, but with less grease and with home made onion rings and you have Zeke's on Highway 2 heading up toward Stevens Pass. If you are headed over Stevens or going boarding, you HAVE to stop to start your own Zeke's tradition. It is very hard to pass Zeke's without stopping, once you have tried the food. So many people turn in, I'm surprised they haven't rerouted Highway 2 through their parking lot.

Wayne golf course is a great beginner's golf course. The front 9 has several long holes and blind doglegs. The back 9 is much shorter with mostly par 3's. The course is only crowded on weekends...
Wayne golf course is a great beginner's golf course. The front 9 has several long holes and blind doglegs. The back 9 is much shorter with mostly par 3's. The course is only crowded on weekends so a weekday tee time is best. I like the course a lot because it is public and you don't have the arrogant people that you find at some courses. This could be because the course has a small goose problem and there is a lot of deuces left behind by these elegant honking creatures. So... stock your golf bag with beers and by the end of the round you will be enjoying the scenic slough and you will not even notice that you are stepping in dung.

I had a horrible experience with this rental car place... After waiting more than a half hour for what I thought was a full-size sedan, they informed me that I could choose between the fantastic NEON or the amazing KIA. Wow... impressive. So, I opt for the neon because I am partial to american 4 cyl. muscle and then they tell me that i can't have that particular one because it has a bullet hole in the windshield. The management made no attempt to compensate for this pathetic service because they were too busy trying to decide where they all would meet for drinks after work.
Take my advice and never set foot in this rental store. You are better off swinging by Recycled Cycles and buying a bike for the price of this company's optional insurance (see my other review of recycled cycles).

Campbell's is the center of the unverse on memorial day. It is the best place to be for a wild memorial day party, short of lake havasue. I pitty the family vacationers who show up for a nice memorial day weekend with the kids, only to see things they only thought possible on a spring break mail order video.
It's not too early to make your reservation for next year!

CrossCuts has an amazing selection of lumber. Exotic wood that you can't find elsewhere. This is not for the typical Home Depot weekend warrior, but for the serious woodworker. Everything from cedar to purple heart wood, seeing is believing. They have whatever type of wood you are looking for. My personal favorite is quartersawn white oak and they have a ton of it!

If you are on the Eastside and driving to the U-District for Thai Tom's is just not an option, Thai Ginger is a great substitute. My only complaint was that the calamari appetizer was not as big as expected. The server described a large plate full - enough for three. In reality, the appetizer was no bigger than my fist and could easily be devoured by a slightly overweight seafood lover like myself.
