Jenna is my go-to gal for cut and highlights. Love her. Amy is also great. Really appreciate the low-key vibe of the salon and easy parking (since they're not downtown).

Apollo feels like a good middle-ground between super fancy spas and the lower-end spots. They also have a better atmosphere than most and would be good for hosting a group (bachelorette, birthday, etc.)

Really like Dr Tom. Also like that Virginia Mason refers to Children's Hospital (best kids hospital care in Seattle) vs Swedish/Prov.

Dr Eric Bergstrom is great. I have a kid who wears strong prescription glasses, so we go often. They've been a fantastic source of care and training (for contacts).

Oh yeah, just opened on top of QA close to my home. Great HiiT (high intensity interval training) workout. They even have a DJ on Saturdays. Highly recommend

Love that it's convenient and no frills. It's not for everyone (if you want something higher end, more amenities), but if you want to go in for a lift, a class, or cardio, and appreciate a neighborhood/friendly vibe, this gym fits the bill. Also highly recommend trainer Kaelon.

B&E Meats on QA is high quality with an excellent selection. They have helpful employees for answering questions about how to cook, how much to buy, etc.
