Great sushi place but with reasonable price! It's been known that Seahawks' Doug Balkwin (#89) order take-out here frequent. This restaurant is right across from Kim Phuong restaurant.

Stay away from the supposedly original Starbucks store at Pike Market due to long lines. It isn't the original store anyway so not sure why people are lining up (they didn't know!). If you must, take a selfie there and move on to a better place for coffee: The Starbucks Reserve Roastery & Tasting Room flagship store serves pizza pies and uniquely rare coffee selection from around the world. A bit pricey for coffee, however, in my opinion, worth the visit as I'm a coffee fan.

A place for steak. Just for steak, don't order anything else. Steak is one thing they are really good at; Anything else seems not on par of quality one would expect from a high ranking restaurant.

Shopping

My wife friend, a "professional shopper", went to Seattle Premium Outlets, 55 miles from home where everyone tend to go to, and found better deals at this one, closest to home. Irony! We always tend to travel far to what seem valuable and fail to find the values closet to home.

Parks & Nature

7-miles paved trail, one of its entrance is within walking distance from home. How paved? You could even do an enjoyable walk with a stroller (and a baby).

Getting Around

Direct bus and train to Seattle. For economy reason, it's better to use Uber/Lyft here to go to Seattle. Parking in Seattle could be cumbersome and not without cost.
