I have been going to Green Lake Dentistry for nearly ten years, but the practice recently and unexpectedly changed hands. The transition seems a bit rocky.
When I went for my check up, the new Dentist whom I'd never met before indicated that 4 or 6 of the fillings I'd had done over the past 3-5 years either needed or were going to need replacement soon. I was surprised, particularly since I'd opted for the more expensive composite fillings as I had been told they were expected to last longer than the ones being replaced. Since I'd had the older fillings for 15+ years, needing to have the new ones replaced in as few as 2 years seems questionable.

If you find yourself on the Olympic Penninsula...the Makah Museum is definitely worth a visit. The museum houses thousands of artifiacts that were preserved in a mudslide and uncovered in the 1970s. We were lucky to ask for--and receive--an impromptu walkthrough with a staff member who was eager to share his perspective on the dig, history or relations btwn the us govt and native tribes, life on the rez, etc.

Just got back from a weekend at Lake Crescent Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula. We had to pay a premium for our dogs to stay with us, and the cottage we had was fine, but not *that* fine.
Then we had little annoyances that added up:
*Front desk worker arbitrarily decided to disassemble the puzzle we'd been working on with other guests since the day before
* Our breakfast order got lost, but our server opted to deal with this by avoiding us for 30 minutes
* When I asked the front desk staff for recommendations about what we could do with our dogs, she spent a LOT of time telling us what we COULDN'T do (dogs aren't allowed in the National Park, we knew this), but had NO information available about what we COULD do. (Since the place "welcomes" pets, it seems they might provide a suggestion or two about what you could do with them in the area.

Mountaineers is a great membership organization, with fantastic classes and opportunities to share your own knowledge by volunteering to teach/lead hiking, climbing, kayaing, photography....there is a lot more to the club than you'd originally think. I
I have been a member for several years and have enjoyed classes that include climbing, sailing, photography, navigation, and first aid.
They have 'get to know the club' evenings once a month for newcomers or those considering membership--a great way to get a better understanding of what the club has to offer.

We headed to Maggie's Bluff in the hopes that we'd get a seat on their deck where we could beat the heat this evening. We had no trouble getting seated at 8:30 on a weekend, and had a great alpenglow view of the spaceneedle and downtown.
The vieggie burger was fair to middling, but the salmon fish and chips, sweet potato fries (not on the menu--ask for them!), and chocolate cake were fantastic. As was the tropical fruty colada drink.

If you haven't tried the Ballard Farmer's market lately, it is worth a visit. The vendors are offering more organic fruits and veggies than ever, and overall, the market seems to be expanding. Not only do you get to buy local, seasonal, just-picked produce, but you can have a lot of fun watching the street entertainers, other artisans, and other patrons! As some of the other reviewers have indicated, there is still enough room to move around, and this market is still dog-friendly so you see lots of dogs walking their humans here.

I hadn't been to Dukes in a long time and went there this evening for drinks and what ended up being dinner. We had appetizers--small portions with big price tags. The quality was down from the last time I had been there (a few years or so) and the service was average. (Our 50-50 split payment was processed incorrectly, and we didn't have particularly attentive staff.)
The drinks were fabulous--great summer Mohitos on the deck in Greenlake. Maybe the entrees are better than the apps?

This is some of the best gelato this side of Roma...right here in Seattle. The single downtown location makes it a bit inconvenient for anyone who doesn't find themselves in the area, BUT Pagliacci pizza offers pints for delivery on their menu. We always order a pint or two whenever we have pizza and so stay well-stocked without having to make a trip!
