If you're a coffee or tea snob, you need an electric kettle that is accurate. When I want 175F water for green tea, or 190F for morning coffee, that's what I get. Also super easy to clean if you live in a place with hard water.

This is a great line of project or idea notebooks that are great for writing or sketching ideas in. I generally buy a new one for every new project as I get started!

Got this unit for a kitchenette/wet bar we added to our basement. It's quiet and takes up minimal space, but still manages to hold drinks in the fridge area easily plus have some freezer storage and an ice maker in the freezer drawer.

Great dryer, with a super cool door that can either open vertically or horizontally. I love this feature for removing clothes...with the door opening vertically (like a dishwasher) I never accidentally dump clean clothes on the floor!

This is the greatest projector I have used for a small home theater, bar none. You can sit it just inches from a projection screen and get up to a 120" incredibly sharp and bright picture on the screen. If you don't like the noise of a ceiling mounted projector above your head, this is your solution. It's bright enough to be used with some light entering the room as well, unlike many home theater projectors.

Great, quiet top loader with an impeller, not an agitator. Keeps clothes looking great, and simple enough that you can make your kids do their own laundry!

Literally it just works. Plop a speaker into a room, set it up instantly, and you've got music. Yes, they're more expensive. But if you don't want your spouse staring daggers at you every time your hacked together alternative doesn't work when he or she wants to play music, just get the Sonos system. Their soundbars are similarly great, and you get the bonus of great music playing when you're not using the TV.

Bought this on @lizprc's recommendation and my kids are obsessed. Fabulous game!

Just amazing, truly instant read and i love that the display rotates itself so you can always read it no matter what angle you use it at. I've used mine nearly daily for a year and it's still on the original batteries. More expensive than the knockoffs but totally worth it!

Holy crap, you want a non-stick pan that you can really use and that won't lose its non-stickiness instantly? Tramontina is probably the brand your professional chef friends are using at home or at work. The handles even have silicone handle covers that can go in the oven to 400F. They've even got an extra-large 14" size that is amazing for cooking for your family if you've got the space on your stove.

This is a great knife for slicing bread, ripe tomatoes, or even steaks off the grill. It's also small enough that an older child can handle it easily (with proper supervision of course). It holds a sharpening super well for a long time too.

Amazing place to handle higher end rugs, whether cleaning or repair. They also have an amazing showroom if you're looking to buy new rugs.

Amazingly old school...need a leg of lamb for Christmas or Easter? Best place to order it from.

Just amazing service, came for a quick outside gate repair, great communication and got the work done same day. Highly highly recommended!

Centurylink fiber is great once you get through the install. Cheap too, often they have a $65/mo unlimited 1gbps symmetrical offer for homes.

These guys came and did a great job on our fireplaces...super professional and were careful with a 100+ yr old fireplace with some delicate tile and woodwork. Highly recommended.

Clean Skies did a great job power washing our garage roof and some stone and concrete surfaces in our yard, as well as cleaning gutters and repairing a couple of downspouts.

Michael and his crew are great at keeping our lawn and plants looking great all year long!

These guys have gone the extra mile to adopt a security system in our new home, rather than trying to force us to buy something new. Family-owned local Seattle business as well!

Awesome and thorough service every time.

Super great work sealing up an under porch area that had seen some raccoon/critter intrusion.

Super professional guys, always go the extra mile to get the job done quickly.

Marquiss Construction did a great job on some smaller repair projects for our house. They are great to work with!

These folks were willing to come out for a small job and made sure to bring all the right parts based on our conversation beforehand. They gave me a firm quote after taking a look at the work and had it done quickly. Very professional.

Super organized and really understands our priorities with regards to our interior design needs.

Excellent butcher, and they have a great service where they email you a "Fresh Sheet" on Tuesdays, with free doorstep delivery on Thursday afternoon.

Easy to work with, and listened to what our needs actually were while putting together some great recommendations.

Just a great place to buy beautiful things for your garden, and super knowledgeable staff to answer questions about the plants and keeping them happy.

Works with several members of my family.

Excellent practitioner, not just interested in doling out pills, good at listening to the patient.

Rick's whole office is designed to be welcoming and calming. Really like their approach to explaining in detail what's going on with your teeth and gums and what the various options are.

Great team with our dog.

Kristi is like a dog whisperer ... all the dogs in her salon are calm and it’s because of her and her great staff...and our dog comes back looking sharp and handsome!

Super responsible and easy to work with, and they take great care of our pup!

Did a great job moving us between two old houses with lots of delicate details. Super careful and professional work.

These guys know their stuff ... incredibly friendly and professional

Erik Zaugg & Co. are excellent to work with, laid back and helpful.

We used Jamie for basic wills and estate planning when our babies arrived...super easy to work with and very thorough.

I’d recommend Howard Choder aka The Tax Man...former IRS agent based on Capitol Hill...works with many startup founders on their specific issues.

Great school with a variety of excellent teachers on many different instruments.

Amazing school with a focus on building balanced, empathetic, well-rounded kids by using the best facets of Active Learning, Individualized Education, and Social-Emotional Learning. The teachers are really amazing, and the kids wake up wanting to go to school every single day.

Simply Desserts on Fremont Ave makes amazing cakes with enough notice. We are always happy with their service.

Sugar Bakery is a great place for custom cakes.

Always excellent service.

We live in northern Capitol Hill, and there's no Verzion or AT&T coverage inside our home. T-Mobile surprisingly works very well.
