Drinks & Nightlife

The epitome of what a great hole-in-the-wall bar should be. Right around the corner, great service and atmosphere, excellent selection of local beer and spirits. Plus you can order a full meal as the owners also own the burger joint in the same building.

Food Scene

Great new cafe in the neighborhood. Great selection of sandwiched and confections. Excellent coffee with plenty of seating. Best of all they're pet friendly so you can often find some pups to say hi to. Highly recommend the Turkish Honey Coffee.

New burger joint by the owners of The Bottleneck Lounge in the same building. Great selection of food and a ton of local beers/ciders to choose from. Plan to stay a while and bring your friends and a board game or choose one from the ones on hand when you get there.

Cozy little Italian restaurant with all the expected fare. Pizza, calzones, pasta, etc. Nice selection of beer and wine. Unique open kitchen design allows you to see everything being prepared. They have a TV and try to have "the game" on which is popular with the neighborhood. If a game is on they're happy to change it for you.

Our go-to coffee shop. A nice morning walk along Thomas past Miller Playfield. Sometimes there's outdoor seating on nice days, but it's a very popular spot and indoor seating can be scarce. If so it's still great for coffee on the go.

Entertainment & Activities

Excellent small venue theater showing classic movies at great prices. They often host comedians and music acts as well. Plenty of fun to be had with "heckle-vision" showings and sing-a-longs. If you're luck you'll be in town for the occasional game tournament. In addition to all of that they have a full food and drink menu to go along with the show.

Parks & Nature

There's always something going on at Miller Playfield. Lacrosse, soccer, ultimate frisbee, the occasional field hockey game, it's all here. There's a playground and playable water feature for the kids as well as tennis courts for the adults.

Nice and small community park. Always a few pups running around looking to play. This is our go-to park and we often meet nice new neighbors to be both two and four-legged.

Everything Else

Weed tourism is a thing and this is the go-to shop in the area. I've never been, but I'm told it's selection is excellent and prices are fair. Friendly reminder that our place is smoke free so get something smoke free (edibles) or arrange another site for consumption.

Getting Around

This is the closest Light Rail station to our home. We walk to it regularly when we're going to the airport or stadiums. Cost is about $3-$5 depending on distance and whether you get a two way pass.

Just a bit further is a decent sized Trader Joe's. More upscale fare with a better selection of premium goods than Safeway. Their Trader Joe's brand of beer is surprisingly good and affordable.

Excellent grocery store with fantastic prices. Great for drinks, frozen and dry goods. I'd pass on the produce unless you're going to use it immediately. Extensive and price reduced beer and wine selection as well.
