White Lotus Restaurant

White Lotus serves pho and other Vietnamese dishes.  I also saw some Chinese, Thai and Japanese(no sushi) dishes also. The dinning room is nicely decorated and is a happy departure from some of the "dive" pho restaurants. The food I tried was fresh rolls($3.50) and a small flank steak pho($5.25).  I really enjoyed the fresh rolls.  They are different than others I tried.  It had shrimp and pork in it but no mint or basil.  Inside was a fried wanton roll. Served with peanut hoisin sauce. The pho was very tasty also.  But different than my favorite pho place written about previously   First difference is there is a lot more noodles.  Maybe that is what people want but I thought it was to hard to mix up my broth with different sauces.  I found it nice that they added a lot of meat.  However they don't trim the fat from the meat.  Maybe its traditional not to trim the fat, but I had a hard time getting use to it.  Again Pho on Broadway trims all there meat.  But I would still order it again,  and for the price.  Its a good value.

Things I liked:
Nice dinning amisphere
Good prices
Very friendly wait staff
Takes Cards
Vegitairian options

Things that could be different:
A little less noodles in the pho

Camano Island State Park - Camping

My family and I went to Camano Island State Park for an overnight camping trip on Saturday - Sunday.  The park is pretty popular.  Most of all the campgrounds are in a wooded setting.  None of them have direct access to the beach.  However the beach is very close and is in walking distance.  The camp currently is having a shortage of water.  I recommend bringing 5 gallons from home plus some for drinking.  The water tastes bad.  Expect some noise,  think of this park of a place to drink with your pals or a quick trip out of town.  If you want the feeling of getting away from it all, go some place else.  There is a large field for games and flushing toilet.  Also showers are available. At the time I visited a wood bundle was $7 and kindling was $3. Even if at the park entrance the sign says "Park Full" I recommend going and talking to the camp host.  She/he may know of a few sites that are leaving that day.  Cost of a single site is $22 with one car.
The beach it self is rocky and perfect for a picnic or kite flying and has almost no shade.  The water is calm enough to let the little ones slash and play on toys.

• Very close

Things that need improvement:

Slices part 2: A Pizza House

A Pizza House Everett, Wa

The one thing I can say about the pizza house is that its cheep (about $1.90 a slice) and for that I will definitely go back.  My son and I went around 1:30 during a week day and the there options for slices were pepperoni  sausage and cheese. The dough was thick and soft, kinda like a bread stick.  No crunch.  The sauce was a little to sweet for my taste, but my son enjoyed it just fine. The restaurant was small and had about 4 or 5 tables.  Decorated nicely. They keep there slices warm all the time. Unlike some shops who reheat slices to order.  Like I said, I would come back but its not my top pick.  More research is need to find the best pizza slice place in Everett. I am not sure when they start serving slices and when they stop.  Safe to say you'll be good for lunch time!

What I liked:

• It was cheep
• They had parking
• Lots of choices for bottled drinks
• Open everyday and open late

Slices Part 1: Major League Pizza

So my son's and mine favorite lunch out is to go and get a slice of pizza.  So my mission in the next few months is to find the best places to get a slice of pizza in the Northwest.  Today's post is about Major League Pizza.  This is a cute/very clean little place on Colby in Downtown Everett.  They start serving pizza around 11am and stop around 2ish.  The pizza we had was tasty and the crust was on the thin side.  They reheat there pizza to order.  I prefer it that way, it does something to the cheese and makes it less stringy! The way I prefer it.  For a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni it the total came to $5.46.  Over all I would go back to get pizza and for friendly service.  Please visit the web site for all menu options

Panera Bread

Panera Bread is one of the easiest/healthiest places I can take my family while we are out and about.  I like that they list the calories for each meal on their reader board.  The prices are reasonable and there is something on the menu that everyone like.  My favorite thing is they offer real food for kids.  Turkey sandwich, grill cheese or mac & cheese.  The side for the kids menu is Horizon yogurt tubs.  The price is between $4-$5.  My son also loves the chicken noodle soup.  My personal indulgence is a bagel and flavored cream cheese.

Thinks I like:

• Free WiFi
• Comfortable seating
• Yummy bakery goods
• Water glasses available with out asking

Thinks I would like to see:

• Option for fresh fruit on the kids menu

Lynnwood Pool

Hey you all.  I just to my son to the Lynnwood Pool and felt that I should give people some information and pointers about this fantastic place.  The recreation center had 3 pools.  The water is very warm and the pools have some unique features.  I will not go into them here because the website does a better job than I could. What I wanted to do is give you some need to knows:

• Arrive 30-45 min before open swim.  There is always a line and if your at the back you may not get in. 
• A great time to go is when the Everett Public Schools have a half day or a furlough day. 
• Bring your own pad lock.  The lockers are not coin operated.  
• Bring a snack or change for the vending machines.  My little guy is always hungry after swimming.  
• There is an outdoor playground just out side the main pool for kiddos who are tired of swimming and not ready to leave.  
• The library is right down the street. 

Here is a picture of the line.  I am not kidding, you need to get there at least 30 mins early before open swim! However, it is the one of the cheapest places to take the kids to be active ($4 for kids and $5 for adults)

. 

Lunchbox Laboratory

Few restaurants food give me a food buzz.  Pix Patisserie in Portland, Angel Thai in Bend, Oregon and Espresso Vivace in Seattle are some of the select few who are buzz inducing!  Now I can add Lunchbox Laboratory to the list. Lunchbox Laboratory is located in Seattle (near REI) and Bellevue.  They have been written up countless times and is worth all the praise they receive.   The Seattle location has a very hip and kitschy vibe.  Lunch boxes and lava lamps decorate and they have a rumpus room up stairs.  I think the rumpus room is adult only but I am not sure.

Lunchbox serves gourmet burgers.  All their burgers are artfully make with fresh and whole ingredients.  Hand formed kobe beef style patties, home made mayos, local kaiser rolls and crazy good toppings.  I had the burger of the Gods.  Made with candied caramelized onions, blue cheese and Gorgonzola spread.  Amazing!!  and incredibly sloppy.  Like I said, buzz inducing!  My husband the Tear Jerker!  Pepper Jack cheese, jalapenos, habanero mayo, Satan's tears ketchup.  Sounds crazy hot but my husband thought it the perfect amount of heat.   He enjoyed his burger just as much as I did.  My son order the corn dog off the kids menu.  I was surprised that they make there own batter and hand dip the dogs fresh to order. Our burger came with lettuce, tomato and red onion on the side.  All of our meals came with our choice of sides.  I got sweet potato fries, my husband order shoe string fries and my son got tater tots.  Our fries were made in house and were excellent, how ever the tater tots were not homemade.  We also order home made mac n cheese and a Whopper shake. Both indulgent and so tasty.  Whether you come for cocktails or dinner Lunchbox Laboratory is a fun and tasty place to go to!

Evviva Woodfired Pizza

So I have been craving gourmet pizza like Pizzicato Pizza in Portland.  Some thing with goat cheese or asparagus.  Something special and different.  I found it at Evviva Woodfired Pizza in Edmonds near the ferry dock.  Evviva is located in a rundown strip mall and looked on the out side to me your average pizza joint.  But when you walk in your realize this is some place special.  There is a large domed oven in the back with fire wood underneath.  2 huge family style slab wood tables and 3 smaller tables.  Slab limestone tiles on the floor and a Gelato case.  The place had a homey feel and I was certainly excited to have there pizza.

Their pizza come in 11' and 16' sizes. Made with organic ingredients and baked with apple wood from Yakima Washington.  My son and I got a 11' pizza to share.  Half Pepperoni (nitrate free) and half Cranberry Goat Cheese.  When I tasted it, I knew I had found my special pizza place!  The crust was super thin and had the perfect chew.  My side with the Goat Cheese had a garlic and olive oil crust, and also sun dried tomatoes. I loved every bite of it and I even ate my crust.  Something I don't normally do because regular pizza crust is just to thick and hard.  My son's pepperoni side was equally amazing.  Not to much sauce and not overly cheesy.  Just right.  Our pizza came to $10 and was just big enough for my son and I to share with no left overs.  All their pizzas are made with traditional Italian ingredients and fresh veggies. Each week they have a Special pizza.  This week its Funghi.  Made with porcini, crimini, fior de latte mozzarella, grana, prosciutto cotta and basil.  Sound great!  I will have to come back for that one.

Things I like:

• Beer on tap
• Good Wine
• Tiramisu
• Corn syrup free bottled beverages
• Easy parking
• Takes Cards
• Salads: Caprese and Caesar

Things I would like to see:

• Nothing,  this place is perfect!

Bookend Coffee Company

I feel a little silly,  I have been lamenting about the lack of good coffee houses in Everett and I totally overlooked Bookend Coffee Company!  Bookend Coffee Company is located on Hoyt Ave adjoining the Everett Public Library Downtown.  This place is super cozy, quite and relaxed.  I often see people with with there text book or laptops getting work done.  I also have noticed book clubs meeting here.  There is about 5-6 lg oak tables with cushy seats and a couch and a few mission style upholstered chairs next to a electric fire place.  The style is art deco, like the library.  With wood paneling and law books lining the walls.  This place is classy and cozy all at the same time.

The coffee is always really great and if you ask, you can get a "for here cup".  They serve really well made sandwiches from a local deli for under $6.  There pastries are average but defently will satisfy your sweet tooth.  One of the things I like is they have small bags of pretzels or chips for cheap.  There is also cups of soup, lolly pops, bottled drinks and teas available.  Service is always friendly and quick.  I really love this place and we all should not forget its there.  Parking is in the library garage and there is no time limit.  WiFi is free with purchase.

Thing I love:

• Great kid snacks
• You can enjoy your library books and have a cup of coffee
• Its quiet

Things I would like to see:

• Wish there was pastries from a local bakery

T n A Latte

T n A Latte stands for tasteful and appropriate latte.  This a coffee hut located on West Marine Drive in Everett.  This coffee hut is NOT a bikini barista.  It is a family friendly drive up that serves well made coffee drinks and snacks.  For the kiddo they give suckers and for the 4 legged friends they have doggie treats.

I visited today and found the girl working there to be sweet and chatty!  I order a non-fat/decaf latte.  I was made perfectly.  They take cards which is always helpful.  On the menu they offer breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, beagle dogs, breakfast cookies and other sweet treats.   I will  be coming back again.  Its a lot easier that going to Starbucks and a lot closer.

BARK Espresso Seattle, Wa

BARK Espresso is one of my favorite places to visit while I am in Northgate visiting my acupuncturist.  Who is right next door to them. This coffee house is split into two hang outs.  One for humans and one for humans and their doggies.  It is attached to Great Dog (grooming, daycare, obedience, shop and adventure time for our pets).  BARK serves Caffe Vita espresso. The day I visited I had a decaf americano and a squash bread with pumpkin seeds.  The coffee was plenty strong and tasty.  My squash bread was lovely also.  One of the things I like about BARK is that there is a comfy couch. Something missing in some coffee houses.  I love to kick back and enjoy my coffee and play words with friends and be left alone.  I can do that at Bark.  Service is always friendly and quick.  I never have to wait in line for my coffee.  I asked the barista what made BARK special and her response was, We always display local art that is pet related and we serve a doggie latte to our 4 legged friends who come in.  The doggie latte is made from peanut butter and soy milk and served gently warmed.

The last trip I made to BARK, I visited the doggie side.  I found it to be equialy cozy with a faux leather couch and lots of tables and chairs.  On the doggie side you go to a ordering window to get your drinks.

Things I love:

• Doggies are welcome
• Lunch is available
• Lovely baked goods
• There are Gluten free items on the menu
• Cozy and quiet
• Easy Parking
• They take cards and do not charge you an extra fee to do so
• Wifi with purchase of a drink or food

Things I would like to see:

• More people and doggies to visit BARK

Golden Gardens Seattle, Wa

So picture this.  Its the 5th day of mid-winter break and your 9 year old has been inside for 4 days strait because the weather had been dismal.  So what do you do on the first dry day off of school.  You go to the beach.  It does not matter in the pacific northwest if its February or July.  North westerner will take any dry day as a sign to go to the beach!  So I have been to just about every beach in the Seattle area and north but Golden Gardens.

When I arrived there we were greeted with bracing wind and scores of mom's in puffy jackets with wool caps and coffee in there hands.  Seem to me all the other Seattle mom had the same idea as me.  At Golden Gardens there are 3 play structures and a set of strings.  One of them is the main attraction.  Its a massive dome with a web of ropes inside for all the kiddo's to climb to there heart's content.   There is a snack shack that provides Ice cream, candy, soda, chips, hot dogs, coffee and much more.  Bring cash though,  the shack does not take cards.

The beach is quite amazing.  Loads of sand with out any waves.  So all the little ones can play safely in the sand.  Fire pits and picnic structure are available for your use.  An outdoor shower and bathrooms are provided.  There is a meeting hall also for your parties to rent. There is an Off Leash area for your pooch.  Just contact Seattle Park and Rec for cost and reservation.

Silver Cup Coffee

So, I love coffee houses! For a long time I thought Everett was seriously lacking a coffee house/roasters. Well I am happy to be proven wrong. Silver Cup is located on Colby in downtown Everett and they roast their coffee in Lynnwood. This place definitely satisfies my need for a local joint to sit and read and enjoy a coffee!

First off their coffee is really good and are experts at making designs in Lattes. They have pastries from Alki Bakery and sell coffee by the pound. I had the chocolate croissant and My son had the cinnamon roll. Both were very tasty. In there cold case they offer craft sodas, sandwiches and salads. The cafe it self is really cozy with large leather chairs and raw wood tables. The service was very friendly and wifi is free!

Pickle Time Deli

Pickle time is a burger joint in Duvall and Everett. They also offer wraps.  My family and I went to the one in Duvall, Wa during our day of Geocaching. The first thing you notice when you come in is all the pickle drawings hung on the wall.  It really fun to see all the cartoons people have dawn.  The very nice lady at the counter encourage us to draw our own while we wait for food.  David and I ordered burgers.  I got the blue cheese burger and David ordered the Texas burger.  My son got chicken nuggets, fries and a giant pickle.  My burger was super tasty and the fried were really great.  I can tell they use frozen fries, but they keep their oil fresh so the fries were not greasy.  My son's chicken nugget were nothing special,  probably Foster Farms frozen nuggets but my son liked them.
This seems to be a local franchise.  The Everett location has its own website and the menu is similar to the Duvall location. Duvall location does not have its own site, but it has a yelp page.

Also on display was a cell phone garden with about 15 phone from various makers, all with the windows operation system.

Super Supplements Oregon/ Washington

Super Supplements

Let me begin my review saying all my Portland friends and family can visit the Clackamas store on Sunnyside Rd or the one downtown. So read on.

SS (super supplements) is a discount health and wellness store in Wa and Or. When I say discount I mean they deal in volume, not old products. Every thing in the store is anywhere from 15 to 65% off from the retail price. If you sign up to be on there mailing list you will recieve coupons in the mail every few months. Every one that works in the store is super nice and very educated on their prodcuts. The vitamin companies come in and train the employees so they know a lot.

They sell every sort of vitamin supplements you can think of, meal replacements(whey, soy, hemp, bars, shakes), natural beauty products, tea, nuts, natural sweeteners, flower remedies, homeopathic remedies, cold drinks, organic chocolates, probiotics, books, pet supplements and so much more. I absolutely love this company. I believe they have the best selection of any vitamin store out there! There are stores all over Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Things I love:

The selection

Friendly/helpful people

I can go in and grab a meal bar and a cold drink just as fast as if I went to McDonalds.

Goodwill Everett

I know, I know, you all think that you already know goodwill! But for those who don't I am going to give a brief review. Goodwill industries is a thrift store and online auction house for new or gently used items. In the stores you can find books, furniture, shoes, house wares, clothing and much more. Some of my favorite items I have found there are golf clubs, toys, All Clad griddle, kids novels, cloths for Halloween and Jeans for myself. They are always having a sale on a different colored tag. Its a lot of fun just to look around and see what is there.

I have had a comment made to me "I feel bad shopping there because I feel like I am taking away from people who really need those items" and for that I respond that they receive so many donations daily that you and the economic challenged have plenty to choose from. And besides thet proceeds from your sales go to help Goodwill provide job training and employment assistants for people who would normally be unemployed. I use to have a client who worked in the Goodwill jobs department. She said she helps people who just got out of jail, handicapped and single parents find jobs.

Goodwill's mission statement is "Goodwill provides quality, effective employment training and basic education to individuals experiencing significant barriers to economic opportunity. Because jobs change lives."

What I like:

• Cheap and current clothing for people who need them
• Great kids books (personal favorite because I have a ferocious reader at home)
• Inexpensive furniture
• Goodwill helps people
• The employees are always really nice
• Electronics that work
• A good return policy

What I would like to see:

• Wider aisles

East West Health Associates

East West Health Associates is an Acupuncture clinic I have been going to for over a year off and on. Chu-Lan Chiong is the practitioner and she is super amazing at what she does. Her clinic specializes in allergy treatments. You can learn more about the type of treatments she does by going to www.naet.com or read the book Say Good-Bye to illness. I know the treatment really works and its painless. I personally have had lots of success with it. Chu-Lan also has had advanced education in nutrition and is all ways willing to help get your diet in check. One other point is she has the training to help you get over mental blocks in life that keep you from moving on or succeeding in life. One last thing is her prices are under $90 dollars per treatment and its covered by most insurance so if you are unsure if a condition is something she can treat, I would go in and see her, it can't hurt and you would be surprise by what she can help you with.

What I Love:

• She bills all insurances
• Great bed side manner
• Super knowledgeable
• There is a coffee house right next to her clinic
• She is always on time
• The clinic carries many supplements
• Chu-Lan very relaxed and never tries to push you into treatment

What I would like to see:

• A credit card machine
• Reminder calls
