I have no idea, I just saw a cheap flight and said why not. Listing says its 4 blocks from the main strip of Capitol Hill and a 4 minute rail to downtown.



I've been thinking about going to Canon and Fremount Brewery.

If you have any interest in beer, you need to visit Holy Mountain in Interbay/Lower Queen Anne.

So Airbnb didn't come through, looking at another listing in the Madrona area by Lake Washington, not too far off from downtown either.

Madrona itself is cool. Leafy, quiet, nice restaurants and walking. And obviously the lake is beautiful.

Ended up going with a place that's directly downtown two blocks from Pike's Place for another $100. Figured I would offset the cost of transportation by being directly downtown.

Make sure you enjoy the human art gallery that is pioneer square. And remember it's not safe between the hours of 8am and 7am the next morning.

In Seattle with wife tomorrow and need some food recommendations and things to do.

Renting a car so can get around. Did space needle/Chihuly museum/pike market last time.

Probably going to check out the Mariners game (like visiting stadiums) for a few innings but nothing else is scheduled.

Pro tip: Call in your order a half hour ahead and skip the line.

Heaven Sent Chicken are the actual locations still run by Ezell BTW. He lost the namesake business in a divorce (but kept his recipes.)

Not that Ezell's is terrible now; but just an FYI.

Is there a cost-of-living estimation/comparison tool out there that seems accurate for Seattle? I may be getting a job offer there soon.

I ordered my food, they started preparing it, then two dinner delivery guys showed up and they literally undid my order and distributed it to those guys then told me my order would be another half hour.

Fuuuuuck you.


And the Jesus t-shirts bother me.

Any sleeper places to grab some food around the Convention Center? Can be a bit further than normal walking distance.

I consider both Tat's (cheesesteaks) and Salumi (cured meats) to be walking distance from there. If you want a more dinner sort of place, Radiator Whiskey sounds like some sort of awesome dive biker bar, but is actually more of a great restaurant that is also a great bar.

Yeah I noticed they showed up on GrubHub and the like; minimum order? $100

That's gonna cause a ruckus every time someone orders.. basically random catering.. not the way to do catering.

Source? I wonder what the opening date is.

Even though they do a number on my tummy, I really like Ezell's spicy chicken tenders. Fantastic news that they'll soon(?) be an easy lunch option.

They filled permits with the city. Some dude on nextdoor.com noticed.

I didn't go hiking last weekend because all the forecasts said it was going to rain throughout. But they were all wrong!! Grrr

They'd better be right this time.

I'm visiting your city for the first time at the very end of June for a couple of days. No idea what to do... need to peek around some neighborhoods just in case this little adventure turns into a job offer.

Anybody know any places that serves exotic burgers besides Ed's Kort Haus? I'm talking about reindeer, venison, elk, gators and etc. I need a kid friendly place.

I thought 8oz Burger in Cap Hill had a rabbit burger at one point, but I don't see it on their online menu. I could just be blind.

Regardless, great burgers.
