The one I'm going to is on lummi island https://www.willows-inn.com/dining/ , same name. I enjoy everything from fine dining to street food, doesn't matter as long as it's delicious
Fine dining I would recommend Canlis (Seattle) or Café Jaunita (Kirkland - Italian). Casual I would reccomend Steelhead Diner (right in Pikes Place Market - great seafood and the best crab cake I've had). All three places I highly reccomend making a reservation. Millers Guild (Seattle) is also really good.

@chanbar @kkt I'm going to be in Washington later this summer, any good restaurant recommendations in Seattle or on the drive up to Vancouver? I have one definite reservation so far, Willows Inn, it's about 100mi north of Seattle on the way up to BC

With the picky eating kid, I don't get to many restaurants that would be worth a special trip. Wildfin in Issaquah was good if you like seafood, it's borderline between the nice end of casual but still relaxed enough that you can take a child. Good fish and shellfish for the grown-ups but also offers burgers for the young ones.

I agree. I'm in the Seattle area and have not found a independent watchmaker....I had a guy in alaska that did for me but he retired back to Europe

I'll second Nesbitt's. http://www.nesbitswatchservice.com They're professional and friendly and their work is excellent. They are open regular hours and they get to the work reasonably promptly, not many months later. They do charge more than I read about some watchmakers in other parts of the country, prices are closer to Omega service charges, but unlike Omega they understand vintage and won't go replacing parts just because they show their age. They're a family of watchmakers, on their 4th generation now. Another watchmaker of the family works at the Tourbillon boutique a couple of blocks away.

WildFin is good. They have the gift card deal at Costco (confidently in Issaquah as well).

I finally have gotten around to dropping a pin, and for no reason here is today's watch.

We need to put together a couple more in Singapore for a GTG.

Well, if anyone is in town. Let me know. Glad to host a fellow OF enthusiast.

Bumping this ahead of the weekend. Planning to crunch and release some current statistics on Sunday and see how OF World is shaping up. I can't quite believe we don't have a single member in New Zealand. Or Russia, for that matter.



Please remember - no actual addresses! Drop pins on your preferred location for an area GTG, the shop of a trusted watchmaker...whatever. Just not your residence.

Now go pin yourself.

Bump support because @ahartfie and @trackpad obviously fell asleep in may!
A thousand lashes with a wet noodle for me!

Um.... I was distracted by something new and shiny? That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 😁

Great idea! It looks like I am the first pin in Oklahoma, my city also may not meet the idea many of you have for a city.

I lived in Wichita Falls/TX as a kid for a year and yes, we went over to Oklahoma then, I remember shooting practice in the Woods 😀

I think you'll have to start pronouncing that as Toron'o as an official Torontonian.

Actually, it's Trawna.
