Crystal Panes did a great job cleaning and repairing our gutters during this week's torrential rain. They were quick with their estimate, courteous and very, very reasonably priced. We would have easily paid twice as much. They also clean windows which didn't have done but were told by friends that they did a great job.

I concur with the comments regarding Martin Muller with Double-Hung. Though not inexpensive (we paid about $350 a window but that included "unsticking", new weights, ropes, etc.) the price was worth it. Martin was prompt, courteous, tidy and on budget. Its amazing the difference "working" double hung windows can make with regard to the air flow throughout your home. For those unfamiliar with the term "double hung" it refers two windows, typically older wood windows, where both the top and bottom halves of the window can move up and down. This allows for hot air to escape at the top and cooler air to enter at the bottom. The solution is much more energy efficient then air conditioning and there's no noise or big box sitting in your window.

Looking for an off the beaten track dining experience, good freshly made vittles and all at a screaming (i.e. cheap) price? If so, try Fu Man Dumpling House in Greenwood (almost Shoreline). My wife and I had a great meal of boiled dumplings, green onion pan cakes, stir fry veggies and BBQ pork soup all for under $30 including tax and tip. The wait staff was prompt and friendly. Only downside is that I couldn't have a beer since they don't serve booze.

I'd tried them all (except WalMart) including the online offerings like Ofoto, Snapfish, etc I wanted a great memories of my 3 month road trip throughout the west coast. Tall's remains the best. A little more expensive then other places but worth it for photos you plan to have forever. They offer online ordering and in store pick up as well as more variety of finishes and borders. The employees are also more knowledgeable then your typical photo finishing staffers.

Highly recommend Stan if you're considering Bamboo for any landscaping project. He runs things out of his home to keep cost down. Knowledgeable, patient, friendly and easy to talk to. Dozens of varieties at all price points. We bought our pots from 1/2 Priced Pots and easily saved half on what we would have spent purchasing our plants and pots from a more established nursery.

A picture does indeed say a thousand words. Whether listing your home yourself, or with an agent, one of the best marketing investments you can make is hiring a great photographer.
While you or your agent may have keen eye and a great camera, its worth the couple hundred dollars to hire an expert who knows what potential buyers are looking for, how to light a home and how to photograph tough/small spaces.
I have used Evan dozens of times (I'm a local Realtor and Associate Broker) and always with great results. His schedule is flexible, he's great with clients, produces fantastic pictures and can do a quick turnaround.
In addition to providing shots in both web, print and hi-res formats (which will save you a ton of time) he always provides a CD of all the photos.
Regardless of the price you list you home at, don't let anyone convince you professional photos are overkill. Does Lexus have Joe Amatuer Shutterbug shoot their print ads? If someone insists on doing it themselves ask them to provide examples of their work including flyers.
Selling your home will be one of the biggest financial decisions you'll likely make so don't settle for anything less then the best marketing.

We've all had mediocre Italian food and I won't get into what passes for Italian at The Olive Garden but La Rustica is only second fiddle to Volterra for best in the city. Add in the romantic walks on Alki, the quieter/quainter ambiance and very friendly, though sometimes slow, wait staff and you have one serious contender. Great wine list, variety and break sticks you may give up your sigincant other for. Warm weather is the best time to go since there is minimal waiting area and the cramped restaurant can easily get chilled with everyone's coming and going.

As a local broker and Realtor I've recommend Richard to at least a dozen clients all of which have been extremely pleased with his service level. He's thorough, straight shooter and prompt. Be cautious of inspectors that simply check a bunch of boxes on preprinted inspection forms. Richard has a contractor background and knows his stuff. His reports are from scratch with detailed explanations of potential issues. Your best money spent purchasing a new home is a knowledgeable inspector. I've seen some bozos but Richard is the best. (206) 784-7730.

I've used Abbie a number of times and have referred her to friends and clients with great results. She's prompt, efficient, courteous, great attention to detail and competitively priced. She calls it like she see's it. She's generally asks for 50% down but I'm not aware of non-performance issues she's had. I believe she only does interiors and her schedule is somewhat constrained b/c she goes to school but 5 stars overall. Don't settle for anything less then Sherman Williams paint though she used paint we bought at Restoration and Devine and thought it was great quality.
