"Awesome one-man Japanese noodle walk-up. It's hard to find but it's on Stone Way at the southbound 16 bus stop just south of 45th. Chat with Pat, the owner - he's a great guy!"

"A fast food joint that brings your order to you from behind counter, offers to "refresh your beverage," and checks on you. Great food too! Wonder if they would cater my gay wedding? ;) Recommended."

"Their cake doughnuts are perfect. I recommend the powered sugar but be prepared to get dusted."

"Very cool, unique t-shirts from local "real" places. Take your out of town visitors here instead of the standard tour shops."

"Take the tour! It's VERY popular though, so you may have to sign up a month in advance, especially in the summer. Located in the original Red Hook brewery in Fremont, the Center of the Universe."

"A unique park at the north end of Seattle's Lake Union. It was built on the site of an old coal gasification plant; many of the remnants of the plant are incorporated into the park. 19 acres of fun!"
