My favorite spot is BlueAcre Seafood with happy Hour on Saturdays and great deals.
A great happy hour can be found on “the Eastside” at the Pearl in downtown Bellevue.

Look out over the Puget Sound in this 175-ft ferris wheel and see Alki Beach, the Olympic Mountains and the skyline. Be sure to grab some souvenirs and fresh seafood!
Be sure to stop by Ivar's Acres of Clams for original fish n' chips or clam chowder before popping in to nearby shops.

To see a different side of Seattle, head to 35 North skate shop for the best in Seattle skate gear.
For your adventurous side I would send you to the Seattle Bouldering Project where you can lear new hiking or clibming techniques.

My perfect recipe for a great night of film comes with good food, good beer and good movies at the Central Cinema. Happy watching!
Belltown’s Local 360 is the spot for real food, grown and harvested by real folks right here in the Northwest.

Judy doesn’t just enjoy crunching numbers..she also likes to crunch tortilla chips at one of her favorite haunts, Mama’s Mexican Kitchen on 2nd Avenue in Belltown
Another great Mexican spot which is in Green Lake - is Rosita's. Fresh hand made tortillas welcome you and jump start your appetite!

For the best almond croissant in town - head around the block on Spring & Western Avenue to Belle Pastry.
