Alaska Airlines has become my carrier of choice since moving to Seattle. Prices are reasonable (although I do not consider them to be one of the cheesy discount carriers like southwest), service is solid, and their route structure is great from Seattle, especially if you are traveling to Alaska or along the west coast. Achieving elite status is relatively easy, and elite benefits on Alaska are great! Plus, you can redeem miles on so many partner airlines.

I have taken my cats to Queen Anne Animal Clinic since I moved to Seattle four years ago. The staff quickly knew me and my cats by name, even though we only come in a couple times per year. They are friendly, attentive, and provide excellent medical care. They also offer multi-pet discounts and participate in the Seattle Animal Shelter adoption program - if you adopt an animal from the shelter, Queen Anne Animal Clinic is one of the places you can get the first exam for free. What a great service to provide! They have also worked with me on some weight issues with a couple of my cats and have suggested some great ways to adjust their food and get them to gain/lose the necessary weight.

After I moved to Seattle and discovered Mud Bay Granary, I was hooked! They have a great selection of healthy food items for dogs and cats, including wonderful selections of wet food -- none of the animal by-products for my cats! Plus great treats and toys, and helpful, friendly staff. My favorite (or rather, my cats' favorite) brand is Merrill's a canned food that only consists of meat (and not meat by-products), veggies, and vitamins and minerals), with such groovy types as Thanksgiving Dinner, Grammy's Pot Pie, Turducken, and Cowboy Cookout.

The title pretty much says it all. Deluxe Junk carries pretty much everything under the sun, especially when it comes to used hidden treasures. I've found several great pieces of used furniture that at first glance looked pretty bad, but on second look and with a little work, they're now beautifully displayed in my house. Plus the little kiddies love to uncover kids' toys from the past!

While I'm not much into the hipster scene, I have to admit I love the clothes at Red Light. For quality vintage clothing, this is the place to go. Sure, you'll pay more than at Value Village, but the selection is way better, especially when it comes to looking through men's shirts. They also have a pretty wide assortment of jeans and pants, and I love the cool belts there too!

I pass by Atlas on my walk to and from work every day, and more often than not I get pulled in...just to see what unique vintage finds I might uncover. I'm not real taken the selection they put outside each day, but that doesn't stop me from venturing inside the store to browse around...great used jeans and vintage shirts from the 70s and 80s abound! Definitely check out Atlas if you haven't yet....even if you don't find something vintage you like, it's a lot of fun just taking a walk through the past.

I wandered into the Arctic Rose on a recent business trip to Anchorage. I wandered through the various rooms, mesmerized at the wide variety of paintings and sculptures in this gallery. I ended up buying an original oil piece by a local artist named Chris Wakefield, which was my first purchase of original art ever! The salesperson was helpful and friendly and provided me with info on the artist and mentioned that later in the year they were having a special exhibit of his. Excellent gallery...highly recommended!

Owner Stacy Davis has crafted a unique paint your own pottery store in Buckhead, called Art and Soul. The premise is pretty straightforward...you pick out a piece of pottery, paint it, and then the store bakes it in a high temperature kiln, producing a lovely painted glazed piece of pottery. Kids absolutely love this place, and it's a great way to while away an afternoon. Finished pieces make you look like you're a world renowned artist!
