Trader Joes is a West Coast institution. It's selection of groceries is particularly unique. This branch also has a great Wine selection. The parking lot is incredibly tight to get into however. It's also not a huge store. While they have all the necessities and an eclectic selection of always delicious frozen foods, the fresh meat and produce section is smaller than I'd like.

Going to the Apple store is always fun. I'm not much of an Apple user myself (though I have an old iBook I use once in a while), but when I leave the Apple Store, I feel like I should be. The staff is good, and they've got a huge selection of Apple products and doohickeys. Well worth the visit for the hardware enthusiast.

In the past, I've driven all the way to Renton to go to McLendon Hardware. It's not always as friendly as Home Depot, but the staff seems very knowledgeable. We did much of our renovation shopping there. Their selection of baseboards was better than other stores. We did get one can of paint that was not properly mixed, but that's our only complaint.

Madrona Eatery is a good bar with a standard selection of beers, a screen to watch the game, decent burgers and very good pasta. It shines, though, as a child friendly neighborhood stop. There are always families with kids. This is our place of choice for dining out with other couples that have small children. There are toys on hand and the staff is very understanding. It's still not bad for grabbing a beer and watching the game, but it can get a little noisy from 5 to 9 pm.

Almost any day of the week you can find me at Verite coffee. It's got the things I love about a cafe: friendly staff, good conversation, large windows, free wireless, good pastry, fulfilling snacks, and excellent coffee. It also has the famous Cupcake Royale cupcakes and is very child friendly (there's a playground across the street as well).
