Born in Minnesota. Raised in South Dakota and Washington. I've lived in Seattle for over two years and absolutely love it!
So many beautiful views; plenty of activities to partake in and hundreds of awesome holes in the wall for great food and drinks.
I love to cook for others, but go to the grocery store every 6 weeks or so...seriously!!! Besides my on demand spurts for fresh meat and veggies. I don't go to the store too often, because I eat out daily. I also, travel frequently for work, which reduces my grocery bills as well. :)
Since I'm out on the town often, I would say I have a good sense of spotting great places to enjoy your time.
By the way, I'm not out 24/7 for pleasure, most of it is for work. I love my relaxation time at home and visiting with friends.
