Epilogue Books has been a great addition to Market St in the last couple of years. This spacious store offers an active calendar (readings, discussions, open mics, visiting authors etc.), an in-house coffee shop, and a great kids section.
The folks here do not mess around... they buy and sell books to people who really love books. The prices are great (I often drop in to pick up a book with $5 in my pocket) but their books are in incredibly good condition on average. Epilogue doesn't pay money for used books, but they do trade *generous* credit for books in good shape. (Note: I have some books I've bought at Library book sales in the past and found that the folks at Epilogue won't buy them.)
If you are looking to do gift-buying for a bibliophile, or looking to treat yourself. I highly recommend Epilogue, because they have books in all price-ranges and an incredibly wise, friendly and helpful staff.

Ballard Health Center is next to KFC. That's wierd. Everything else about this sweet pyramid shaped place is simple, nurturing, and down-to-earth.

Ballard Health Center is next to KFC. That's wierd. Everything else about this sweet pyramid shaped place is simple, nurturing, and down-to-earth.
When you walk in the door and feel the fire from the fireplace and see the smallish sitting/waiting room, you can see how nice it is to be a part of a real community that is focussed on health. People are friendly, appointments are usually easy to get (after work hours too!) and I've had wonderful massages there from relaxation to deep tissue to recover from an accident. The prices are reasonable ($65/hour).
Anytime you get a massage treatment, you get a trip to the whirlpool and a shower to leave the rest of your day behind *before* you lay on the table!

The People's Pub is a cozy, friendly, dark wood kind of bar. The service really good most of the time, but some of the waitstaff get a little flustered and sloppy on Friday and Saturday nights.
The food and beers here are remarkable, and German. Deep Fried Pickles, Schnitzles, and Stuffed Beats yum. (Of course, you can also get a basic burger and fries, or veggie sandwich.) Bizarrely, you can also now get Creme Brulee if thats your thing. The Beer list is so long that despite my best efforts, I am still meandering my way to its end. There is a full-service bar, and their kitchen is open until 1 AM.
Also, there are games. Games of all shapes, sizes, degrees of complexity, and content are here. Everything from Cribbage to Operation, and from Go to Boggle. Do not underestimate the joy of games. Even if you are not playing, and have no intention ever to roll dice in a bar, the vibe in this bar is, well, playful.
