Amazing setting in the 1920's "loveless" building. 1900's era Russian mural (a historical item) adorns the walls. The food is spectacular and inventive "non-traditional eurasian." The drinks are fabulous. Cozy, romantic, charming.

Wonderful caring people who aim to please and do. I love the Tofu Delight - so good I don't miss the meat. Or Swimming Rama Chicken. Yum. Coconut ice cream to finish? Yes please! Lunch combos are less than $10. I can't go without a Thai Iced Tea.

On gorgeous summer days, sit outside on the deck for happy hour while seaplanes dive just overhead to land on Lake Union, dodging sailboats, stand up paddle boards and kayaks. Great appetizers to signature steaks, the view and location by the marina is something to see.

Upscale Italian with a full bar. Just a walk across the street if you use the back entrance from the Diamond Parking lot. Or around the corner. Corello = cart in Italian. Initial concept was Italian Dim Sum but went more mainstream after COVID.

It wouldn't be Seattle if there wasn't a monumental Starbucks like no other. Well there are others, but this is the city where American daily coffee culture was born. Come here to actually participate in the process of making coffee. The amount of copper in this building is worth a fortune!

Drinks & Nightlife
This bar has been around since before I was born - since 1962. They are doing something right. And that something is beer (huge selection), burgers (don't miss burger Wednesday), pool tables (2) and good ol' genuine dark wood, booths and steaks. Open and serving food until nearly 2am then open for breakfast - bloody mary - or a nice lunch. In summer, outdoor seating is perfect for people watching.

The hood of a 1979 firebird and Billy Bass mounted trout hang on the wall while old sitcoms or sci-fi play on a monitor. Tattooed and pierced servers.

Getting Around
Finally, Seattle has big city transit. Well, at least from my place you can get anywhere! Airport, Stadiums, UW, Westlake (downtown shopping), Pioneer Square and more. $3.50 from the airport to my house every 6 minutes? Wow! A few beers at the Sounders game? No worries, $2 gets you home. I love it even if my property taxes have gone through the roof!

Take a flight flight from Lake Union for a marvelous aerial tour of the Puget Sound. Usually about $99/person, it is 45 minutes of history and gorgeous scenery from 1000 ft in the air. Not to mention the takeoff and landing amid sailboats, kayaks, speed boats is a thrill in itself. Go early in the morning for a silky smooth ride without turbulence (as a pilot, trust me on this one). Also a great way to get to Victoria BC in about 30 minutes. Bring your passport.

The inspiration of the 1990's Seattle Grunge Band of the same name, this park sits on the point of an ex-Navy submarine base. Yes, a sub base on a lake. A very deep lake. Fins from Nuclear submarines are arranged to whistle melodically in the wind. Pretty unusual for a park, right?
