Small, intimate place with good hor duerves and a nice wine selection. The menu here is American cuisine and the appetizers and desserts were clearly the best part of dinner. Fun for the setting and ambience. The food is good, but not exceptional. I tried the filet mignon, which I ordered rare and was over-cooked. Parking is available on the street for up to two hours for free.

Every year, the Evergreen State Fair comes to town and it's a fun time for the family. Time to get a good, smoked turkey leg, a purple cow, and an onion bloom--the trifecta of the fair. The fair is the same every year--same set up, same food, same displays. But it's a lot of fun, and it's a tradition. So figure out what's good, and look forward to it at the end of summer, when it's time to wind things down. My recommendations are to try the above!

This is a summer time tradition for our family. We make it out to Harvold farms at least twice--once for the strawberries in June, and once for the raspberries in July. It's fun for the kids to pick berries, and the fruit is always high quality. We bring a huge box of berries home, eat 'em fresh and my wife turns the rest into jam. You've got to remember to check for the strawberries in early to mid June. It never seems like summer this early in the month because school is still in, but if you wait until school's out, the good berries will be gone. Also, if you fill out a postcard at the cashier's window, they'll mail it to you the next year and let you know when it's time to start pickin'!

It's a little far out there, but it's a mall full of factory outlet type stores. The Supermall in Auburn has a Pfaltzgraff factory outlet, Harry and David, and other things like bookstores, etc. It's a good place to go at least once, to familiarize yourself with what's there. I didn't find anything that useful there. My wife enjoyed the Pfaltzgraff place, but other than that, you pretty much have to have something in mind from a particular place to go way out there.

In Kent, there is a little shopping mall, called the Great Wall Mall. It has one larger restaurant, and a couple of smaller "noodle house" types of restaurants inside. There are also a few Asian clothing stores, hair salons, book stores, etc, and the main anchor store is the 99 Ranch market, which so far as I've seen is an Asian superstore. Great place to visit if like to browse some unusual things. Busy on weekends, so go later in the afternoon or on a weekday.

The Woodinville Pharmacy is located in the downstairs of the Woodinville Urgent Care Building. There are also a number of doctors' offices there, including a good family practice group, Woodinville Family Practice and the awesome pediatric group, Woodinville Pediatrics. Because of this, the pharmacy is always busy, but don't let this discourage you. They are extremely fast, and your prescriptions are generally ready in about 10 minutes, even if there is a line. I don't really understand why it takes so long anywhere else, when you don't even see anybody else there.

The Yarrow Bay Grill is located in a very nice setting in Kirkland. The menu is nice, although there is nothing terribly unique about it. It is just a typical nice restaurant. This can be a great place to go on a date or for a business meeting. The service is always friendly and efficient, and the food is consistently good. You can't go wrong with this place.

The Woodinville Athletic Club is a great local club for most of your basic exercise needs. They have a good class schedule and plenty of exercise equipment that is always in good shape. Some of it is a little close together, but this is really the only downside of the place. The facilities are kept clean and new looking and the front door staff is certain to greet you when you arrive and say goodbye when you leave. Membership has been getting expensive, but it's a nice healthclub. Unfortunately they do not offer racquet sports, otherwise, they'd be perfect.

So I have some relatives who recently moved into the monstrous Trilogy retirement complex in Redmond. Now if you're used to the acreage that you get out further in Woodinville or Redmond, this might look like high density house, but I have to tell you that for a certain crowd of 55+, this is a great place to live. In general, the homes are well built, and although they are close together, most of this crowd spends a lot of time indoors, so you really don't notice the density. There are many groups to get involved in if you are the social type, but if not, you can keep to yourself as well. Convenient for older group, with some nice homeplans.

As far as Woodinville goes, the dining options are limited, but here is an unusual one. It's a "Benihana" style Japanese steak house, where knives fly around open flames. Now, I've definitely seen better, but hey, this is Woodinville, so you've got to put this in the proper perspective. It's great for Woodinville! Fun to watch and a little something different than the ordinary burger joints. Food is good and the menu is consistent with all other Japanese steak houses. Great fun!
