Pretty darn close.....

This Shell station on 164th in Lynnwood has gas starting at $3.98 a gallon. This was taken while waiting in traffic. We will be at $4.00 pretty soon now.

Richmond Beach Coffee - Great enviornment, great food

If you are looking for a great coffee shop in North King County, look no further. This shop recently opened, but word is getting out. They have been running an advertising campaign in the Shoreline Enterprise, my former newspaper. So if you can grab a copy of the paper look for a free cookie or muffin coupon - score! I made my first visit earlier this week.

What a great place. The decor inside looks fantastic, and it has one key element for a coffee shop: customers, but not too many customers to make it noisy and uncomfortable. So I brought the laptop and cranked out several productive hours of work. I had a Turkey and Jack cheese panini that was excellent, followed up with a peanut butter cookie that had great flavor. I'll definitely be heading there again.
