Restaurant news: A tale of two very different Edmonds restaurant experiences
I love that everyone has a favorite restaurant in town to eat — whether you are going out for a special occasion, a weeknight dinner, a date night or just for an evening when you don’t feel like cooking at home. I visited a new Thai spot in the Westgate neighborhood and a Mexican place that has been around for almost three years. It was my first time visiting both restaurants, and I made a point of visiting during the week rather than on the weekend. You may be surprised about which one I preferred. I ordered two drinks, an appetizer, and two entrees at each restaurant. One dinner cost me $83.96 with tip and the other cost me $64.56. The food and service was stellar at one and the other left us scratching our heads as it was so disappointing. I reached out to the CEO/general manager of one of the restaurants for a comment about my experience but I never heard back from her.

Instead of Going on Vacation, Go Out to Eat at These Fantastic Downtown Restaurants
A city’s downtown is its living, beating heart. It’s the center of business in every sense of the word — there’s all manner of commerce in every direction, and everything (and everyone) is busy, like in a Richard Scarry book. Seattle’s downtown is the only part of the city that feels like a metropolis, with its skyline-defining buildings, timeworn architecture from the early 20th century, its museums and train stations and tourist-filled waterfront.

First stop, the backstory behind Capitol Hill’s iconic Volunteer Park Reservoir – which isn’t just a pretty pool, but an emergency stopgap.
