In my wandering I learned that if you happen to have some Birkenstocks or good hiking boots that need repairing - Fremont has an authorized Birkenstock repair place run by Dave Page, Cobbler who at one time was a professor of History at the U.W. You can read more about the shop and the owner in this article from the Seattle Weekly.
One of the stores had a live potted palm tree that was a little over 12 feet tall. The owner is selling it because it's outgrowing her shop. The palm tree has a nice bending shape and big green leaves. It would be perfect if you had a room with a tall ceiling and wanted a tropical motif. The owner is only asking 130 bucks for it, all you need is to figure out a way to move it and where to keep it.
We had dinner at Bick's Broadview Grill. I had the fry bread with tomato habanero salsa, a black bean salad and a drink made with pomegranate and lime juice (the drink was the best part of the meal). They have a big selection of hot sauces that are fun to try. It's a nice family friendly place - I only wish the server would have been a little less stern.
Amazon has a scanned copy of the menu. Bick's is located in Seattle's Greenwood Neighborhood.
Rachael Ray, from the Food Network visited Bick's Broadview Grill and shared their recipe for Ginger-Lemongrass Portobello Mushroom Caps.
