Just the right atmosphere for cozy, long chats. Nice big coffeeshop, good coffee. Lovely spot too- with old, quaint stone buildings nearby (including a little bookstore) that look like they were plucked out of England.

It's quite a beautiful trail because it has s*p*a*c*e to view everything, whereas a lot of trails around here are so packed with trees, you cannot see the forest or sky. It is up, up, up though, and then there's a fabulous wood bench at a scenic overlook with a great view, where you can stop to have tea and a snack.

Nice spot for a walk or to sit on a bench. Some water views. Also, nice little trail running next to water, through some wooded areas.

Essentials
This is the friendliest grocery store in town. It has conventional products and items, but also produce is organic and they have tons of orgnaic/natural/earth-friendly products. Their meats aren't usually organic but are without hormones. You can find organic chicken and beef at the QFC. Head into Bellevue for Whole Foods for bigger selection of meats.
