See All Lists1. Magnolia Neighbordood
Neighborhood: Magnolia
I love this place more than any other neighborhood in Seattle. Living here has been the best- and I know it's only been a month that I've been here, but it is more awesome on the daily. It's like living in a small town and living in a city at the…More »
2. Ballard Town & Country Market
Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 783-7922
Categories: Grocery, Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighborhood: Ballard
PC- what? No need venture into the small-scale specialty grocers anymore. For me, at least. I know that *some* milk and dairy products here can be ultra pasteurized. But, as one yelper says, "Milk was not a good choice". It's all wrong. For me... you…More »

-Delicate variety of coffee drinks, all fresh, all classics
-Meeting spaces
-Conference room
-large tables and small tables
-garden seating under trellis with vines growing on them
-a hose to fill dog…More »
4. Blue Heron
They are so friendly here... The food is made quickly, and the small line moved quickly. I have been ordering the chef salad with chicken. The chicken is awesome- it's marinated and super flavorful. So great! Also good specials and soups. They have…More »
5. Quick Dry Cleaning and Laundry
Seattle, WA 98199
(206) 282-4300
Category: Dry Cleaning & Laundry
Neighborhood: Magnolia
This place uses environmentally sound dry-cleaning practices, but does not charge you extra for this. This is one of the facts that makes them better than the other cleaners directly across the street. They are also cheaper and cooler in general.…More »
6. Discovery Park
Seattle, WA 98199
(206) 386-4236
Categories: Parks, Arts & Entertainment
Neighborhood: Magnolia
Love this place, of course, like all reviewers. It's a haven, an oasis in the middle of the city, a mini vacation. You must hike down to the lighthouse.
One issue: The Daybreak Indian Cultural Center is really run down and strange, eerie. If you are…More »
7. Romio's Pizza and Pasta
This place is also right down the street from me. It's good food, nice people, good beer, and a family establishment. Supporting locals is always the best- Romio's is of course, a local chain.
The pizza, pasta, salad and sandwich lists are long. It's…More »
8. Mounger Pool
Seattle, WA 98119
(206) 684-4708
Categories: Swimming Pools, Beaches
Neighborhood: Magnolia
Not a lap pool most of the time, although they have a schedule that slots it in early in the morning and at night. Not early enough for me actually- I'd like to get in there before work, but they don't open until 7 am I think, so it is not possible.…More »
9. Chinook's
Seattle, WA 98119
(206) 283-4665
Categories: Seafood, Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: Magnolia
I have mixed feelings about this place. Brunch is good. The food is good, but there is stiff competition for "good" food in the PNW. It is not marvelous, or anything I have ever recommended to anyone.
In fact, last night when my sister dropped her…More »
10. Rudy's Place
Seattle, WA 98138
(206) 283-2128
Category: American (Traditional)
Neighborhood: Magnolia
Was that fresh squeezed OJ? Nice... I had a Monte cristo and he had corned beef hash. We've each had these same menu items in various places across the country, and this place was not disappointing.
The corned beef hash was fresh, i.e., not from a…More »
11. Glynn's Salon
This place is busy and a little understaffed. They are also randomly closed now and then (once every few months) when it's normal business hours.
Other than that... They are in a house-like building just off the Dravus St. Exit on 15th Ave.
I did…More »
