I went to WizKids games looking for a copy of the Munchkin card game after playing it and liking it. They had a lot of different games -- popular and also some "indy" games. The only negative is the prices were a bit on the high side.
Unfortunately, some of these games are hard to find in retail stores so it beats paying shipping!
It's a good place to go if you want something different, but you can probably get a better deal on "Monopoly" at Toys 'R Us.

I'm used to a certain treatment in independent record stores: they know they're better than you, have better musical taste then you, and you're not worth their time.

I've never seen that happen in a bike store until I went to Redmond Cycle. They more or less ignored me, because I don't know enough about bikes. Silly me, I figure that should mean I'd get more help.
I don't plan on returning to Redmond Cycle ever again.

Half-Price Mattress outlet has a guy on the corner of 148th and 24th dancing around, proudly proclaiming the half-pricedness of the mattresses. While mattress shopping I figured I'd check them out.
Strange dancing men can't be wrong, right?
What the dancing man and his sign don't say is that the mattresses are used, refurbished, repaired, and then re-sold. Ick.
I don't want a used mattress, especially for "half off" retail which isn't that inexpensive.
Based off what some people do on beds... go somewhere else.

I'm not much of a "cigar afficionato" -- I don't even know how it's spelled -- but every now and again it's nice to enjoy a good cigar with friends.
Because of my lack of knowledge, I never know what to buy or what to try. That's why I'm glad I found "Fine Wine & Cigars" -- the people here have always been very helpful and nice (without pretention). As such, I'll never go elsewhere for a cigar!

Claim Jumper is a great resturaunt to go to if you are very hungry -- all their portions are huge and will fill even the largest of man up.
Quantity aside, the food itself is delicious. I have always been happy with the service and have no complaints.
Claim Jumper is a good resturaunt and worth trying out.

The wash itself at this car wash was very good -- my car possibly has never been cleaner. Unfortunately, my car left with a dent in the right side and without a front plate after going through the wash!
While it's quite possibly my fault the plate fell off, I think it could generally mean the brushes are a bit rough on the cars that get washed. If you're willing to take that risk, the carwash does a great job.

I went into Great Clips for a haircut and everything was going fine for a while. Then the stylist asked me if I wanted to keep my sideburns.
"Yes," I said, "just even them out."
That is what I expected. However, 10 seconds later, I had no sideburns. I don't know why. The rest of the haircut was fine though.
Strangely enough the exact same thing was echoed to a friend who went to the same place later -- fine haircut, but the stylist was definately anti-sideburns, as they removed his as well.
Other than that, though, decent job.

When I first moved to Seattle I decided to try one of the local tribal casinos. One of the close ones was Muckleshoot.
I was generally impressed -- it was reasonably clean, and even offered a non-smoking area with both tables and slots. Their minimum bets were reasonable, and they weren't overly packed so it wasn't tough to get to play.
The drinks aren't free, but the comps were fairly generous. After only a few hours of low-stakes blackjack I had managed to earn a free buffet. Perhaps not a rival to a vegas buffet, but certainly decent in its own right.
If you need a nice break and want to try losing some of your money, Muckleshoot is probably one of the nicer casinos in the area to try.

The Pawn X-Change is an interesting place to purchase stuff, partly because it's a random assortment of just about anything! From CDs to jewelry to a "Billy the Bigmouth Bass"... you can find great values on lots of crazy stuff.
Some deals are just OK, some are even bad (notably, some of the electronics), but there is occassionally an awesome deal. It's worth checking out if you're in the area.

When I went in to look at a futon for my office, I was hoping for a good selection. After all, the place is called Futon Factory! However, after poping in I was unimpressed with the amount of diversity in futons, especially in the price range I wanted.
I ended up not getting a futon, but in the future if I ever need one I certainly won't go back to this store. Places like Ikea or furniture stores elsewhere have a better selection of not just futons.
