For folks who like coffee on the lighter side. Nice people. Check to see if they are working, their hours are odd. No place to sit - it's truly a drive-up. If you're staying with us in December, there is often a holiday tree lot next door owned by the family. Give it a look!

Take-out specialists. Yummy, fresh teriyaki and basic asian fusion eats. Free miso soup while you wait, and the hostess/owner reminds me of a geisha with her pale facial creme. Truly lovely people, large portions, cheap prices, good food and always busy and fast. Recommend the tempura shrimp.

Further out: Take a 10 minute drive east to Lake City Way for Hawaii-style sushi and Mac salad. This well-respected local family has operated for years and gives back to the community in so many ways! Large portions. Small space. So there’s always a line to get in, and large, fresh portions. If Mr Toyoda has extra fish left from a previous order at the bar he'll slide it over to you with a grin if he recognizes you as a first-timer.
Note: 🎵 Get there before 6pm, and plan for cash only and a hand-written bill. *call ahead as they close randomly for vacations and holidays.

Fitness
A cathartic walk to begin your day in a natural environment. Walk two safe blocks west on 152nd until the street dead ends at a green space.
Follow the small tree-lined trail under the cedars along a tree-lined path (3 minutes) into the larger open space. Crossing the space turn left on the gravel path before the parking lot, and continue down the hill.
Take a right on the small footpath just after the stream, and follow trail over the bridge through the watershed to its end (4 minutes) to see the 1950s tractor with a surplus jeep engine hosting a mature cedar growing through the middle of the frame. The trip from the start is 2000 steps total if you’re tracking from the entrance. Be sure to stop to read the cool local poetry at the stations in the park.

Taking the side streets from Shoreline
If you’re driving, I-5 might not be the best option during Seattle’s rush hour. The Lake Washington or University District area can be reached by driving east of 15th Ave NE along the Lake. Bellevue/Redmond may be faster hopping over the top of Lake Washington while avoiding a toll, and Ballard is sometimes quicker by heading directly west on 145th street. **Edmonds and the Kingston ferry may be quicker taking 99/Aurora Avenue N. Ask us for insider tips and / or a more scenic ride.
