Seattle Foodies

UPDATE: My original post (Everclear Alert) touting the retail availability of Everclear in Washington turns out to be in error! During an attempt at the new 7th & Bell store, the manager assured us that no 190 proof alcohol can be sold to commoners like us without a special license. The highest they can sell is 151 proof. It turns out that, while the WSLCB sells the 190 through their stores, it’s still classified as an “industrial alcohol” and is only available with a permit.

Can you apply for a permit? Yes, but only if you’re using it for industrial purposes. So who’s up for starting a domestic limoncello company?

Alison’s upcoming Portland trip inspired a foodie avalanche of recommendations. Here’s a compilation of our favorites. Let us know if you have more to add!

I’m always scrambling to find the best foodie spots when traveling. Before I go, sparking email flurries, “doing a Google,” pestering the staff at my favorite restaurants, phoning friends. And then madly stabbing at my iPhone for help once there. So as an experiment, I’ve decided to compile the collective recommendations on a Google map for sharing. Let me know if you think this is helpful, and certainly make suggestions and I’ll update the map!
