100 Reasons to Love Seattle

CALL US BIASED, but it’s as easy to dig up reasons to love this city as it is to score gourmet grub on our streets. (Hey, there’s a reason right there…) In fact, we found so many—from our flair for flash mobbery to our kid-friendly bars—that we spread them all over this issue. All of them are as unique as Seattle itself—which is why we didn’t number them in any particular order: When you’ve got this many excuses to heart your home, it doesn’t feel right to rank them.

Regarding 51–55. We Don’t Need a Team to Kill It in the NBA

Helloooooo! How about 2 local guys who are actual in the NBA currently? You totally didn’t mention Marvin Williams from Bremerton, WA (Bremerton High School) and Rodney Stuckey from Kent, WA (Kentwood High School)

The only thing missing from “22–31. We Know Sandwiches” is Honey Hole! I agree with all other selections (and a few are now on my to try list!).

Andrew at Mistral Kitchen is a genius.

Love 7-13 but you forgot the Seattle also has the best overall economy in the nation as of May 12, 2010 per econ strength rankings by Policom Corp., best overall place to start a new business (Jan. 2009, later than a year but…), and as a plus, although off the map, Mt Vernon just got the 5th best place in the country to retire (yeah, I know).

I think it’s appallingly inappropriate to refer to Michael’s daughters as “bailed-on daughter #1” and “bailed-on daughter #2” — both privately and publicly, but certainly in writing, on the internet, where they can find that if they search their father’s name.

“A Beecher’s cheese-topped, molasses-infused vegan barbecue sandwich from Maximus/Minimus”

Um, “cheese-topped” =/= vegan.

I wanted to add how fun this piece was, and instead I see bizarre comments from what must be very upstanding people—the kind who attack in anonymous comment form. Really? Stay classy (and passive aggressive), Seattle.

By H.I. Road is MY real name...! on Jul 01, 2010 at 6:53PM

Come on! It wouldn’t be a proper Michael Hebb article if there weren’t some Michael Hebb bashing in the comments! It’s as predictable as fireworks on the 4th.

I’m with ‘Not In My Top 100!’ – I know more than a few fine Seattleites who have been burned, not paid, bailed on, cheated or just plain nauseated by Michael Hebb.

Oops! I forgot to add that I’ve loved the (now) chef of one of the bailed-on PDX restaurants for 20 years, and have a lot of friends on the PDX bar-restaurant-arts scene.

I’m looking to donate to support Japan?
I am so sad about what took place in Japan with the earthquake and tsunami and I really want to assist them by simply donation.

Does any individual know a web site or anything where one can donate to support Japan?
