While I was initially impressed with them, I have subsequently had less than optimal experiences with them & especially the Nutrition Center. It seemed as though they were always trying to upsell everything. I understand that they are in business to make money, but it got to be ridiculous & far too expensive. I have had a much better consistent experience at with the Banfield Vets at 130th & Aurora Petsmart.

I signed up for Clearwire in mid-November & never lost service--even through the most severe storms. Several of my friends who have Comcast and/or Millenium complained of outages during this period as well.
It's easy to use & I get a really strong signal all of the time. The modem has a rather large footprint at the moment, but they are providing smaller models in February (last I heard).
I have recommended this service to lots of folks & for each person I refer, I receive a $15 webcertificate. :)

I regularly stop in for a baker's dozen so that I can have them sliced & ready in the freezer for when I need a bagel fix. They're great toasted (after thawing in the microwave for ~30 seconds).
They have a variety of bagels along with a number of different schmears (cream cheese-based toppings). They also have bagels for dogs (Maisie & Mister Magoo enjoy them!).

If you're looking for a great sushi place on Broadway, Hana is definitely the way to go. Their sushi is very fresh & flavorful. My favorite is the hamachi.
You can order by the piece or they have a various platters available for consumption in-house or to go.
Their menu also lists lots of traditional favorites such a Tempura Udon Soup, Ton-Katsu, Teriyaki, etc.
It seems like they have been in business forever, are always very busy, and are very reasonably priced. Service is very fast, which is a bonus if you're in a hurry.

The owner is from Venice & her shop definitely is as authentic as you can get. The flavors vary slightly & the last time I was there they had a delightful pumpkin gelato. You must try it ... very interesting mix of flavors. Reminiscent of pumpkin pie, but better! They also make the riso (rice) gelato, which is reminiscent of rice pudding. Free samples are available.
Both the gelato and the pastries are delicious. I recently took a friend from Italy here & she was very impressed. Also, their sidewalk tables are a great place to sit, enjoy your gelato, and people watch.

On my first visit, they were very busy, which is usually a good sign. I tried the meatball sub & had expected it to be like those I would get back East. The meatballs were huge and covered in copious amounts of tomato sauce. The bread was a bit too chewy & it was slightly burnt..
My dining companions enjoyed the Cajun sandwich & I'll probably try that next time (or another of their many options) I'm in the mood for a sandwich without East coast roots.
As others have mentioned, it is really hard to find good East-coast style sandwich shops in Seattle. Lots of other things to appreciate in the Northwest though ...

Sure, the quantities may be huge, but in this case, quantity doesn't equal quality.
I had heard so much about this place that I was very excited to try this place. My first time there, I tried the chile rellenos, which were just OK. The black beans were too salty and the rice was crunchy and underdone.
One of my dining companions was totally incredulous that I didn't want to take home the leftovers ... I'd rather go to Taqueria Guyamas or Burrito Express.

I bought my first pair of Paul Green shoes here when they were having one of their fabulous sales & now I am totally addicted (to both Paul Green shoes & J. Gilbert). The shoes are very well made and are extremely comfortable--even the heels! I have never, ever received a blister while wearing any Paul Green shoes. Also, I always get compliments on these shoes, which is a bonus!
While Nordstrom may carry Paul Green, they never go on sale there & don't have nearly as good of a selection. In order to find more choices, you'd have to go to Munich. I must confess I did cheat on J. Gilbert & buy a few more pairs there, but I just couldn't resist. :)
I haven't tried the Taryn Rose, Thierry Rabotin, or Donald J. Pliner shoes since I seem to be stuck in a Paul Green rut, but I did buy a wonderful pair of Blundstone boots there for those wet Seattle days when I can't wear my Paul Green shoes.
Also, if you sign up for their email list, you can be kept abreast of events, sales, etc.

I echo the sentiments of the reviewers before me. The crumpets are delightful and a real treat anytime. The cozy little shop is a real gem in the PPM & I often take out-of-town guests here since it is so charming and their offerings are so tasty.
If you can snag a table out front, it's great for people-watching, too!

The folks at the Mud Bay on East Thomas Street (just off of Broadway) are always so nice & helpful. They remember you (and you pets) and are more than happy to answer any questions you have, recommend products, and order items for you.
My Shih-Tzu, Mister Magoo, just loved the little stuffed, squeaky chipmunks, but had totally decimated his. (Note: I don't leave him unsupervised while he is enjoying this toy & make sure he doesn't swallow the fluff.) The staff tried to order more of them for me, and regularly kept me updated as to the status of the order. Unfortunately, the distributor was having issues obtaining this particular item, so after several weeks, instead, we had all chipmunks in stock throughout Western Washington shipped to this store.
I'm very happy to report that I now have a back-stock of four additional chipmunks. Unfortunately, this item has been complete discontinued by the manufacturer so I'll have to see if I can track them down online somewhere. :(
