Maybe I thought going downtown to this high-ish end salon in downtown Seattle would be a bit intimidating. When I got there, the open plan and all-black clad group could also have been intimidating. But... The staff and general vibe was so welcoming.…More »

It passes the five star test- I'll always plan my next visit back before I leave the place. This is what I like:

-Tiki hut decorations, including indoor grass roof
-Pressed tin wall decor, slate floors
-Ultra clean environment-  They keep all files,…More »

First, I'll say that they are not the least expensive dry cleaner in the world. So, being cautious with the five stars I hand out, I'll give them a four for cost.

Some might want to go to a 99 cents per shirt cleaners, but the extra $1.50 or so per…More »

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 »

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 »

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 »

This place is worth a visit! They have a ton of products and carry lines you cannot find anywhere (even at Nordstroms or Macy's) except on line or at Sephora.  I never buy beauty products for the first time on line, so this is a good option.

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.

Recently updated lists from Laura L.

I do or I don't (10)

Sometimes the journey from sexy singleton to wedded bliss involves a lot of vendors. I've been finding I either like them a lot or I really, really don't.

Get down on it: reviews with low ratings (15)

Please. Improve something.

You rock, Doc. (or not) (2)

Me as a beatnik (4)

My attempts to be humorous, quaint and clever through reviews in poetic prose.

More are pending...

Teas please... (9)

After consuming much more coffee than any sane person would allow themselves, I broke the habit in January 2006 and turned to tea. I'm now an aspiring tea aficionado, and am in search of the best places to enjoy a cup...

Be there, or be the south end. (14)

Here are places I frequent...as in I've been there more than 5 times.
