Being a "military brat" has allowed me to live around the US and overseas, but I have to say that Seattle is my favorite city to live in so far.
Since moving here over three years ago, I've been steadily checking out and comparing restaurants in the area. With the thousands of great places in the city, I could be doing this for years to come! Yeah, it's tough to be me.

Red Hook Brewery
Red Hook Brewery is one of Seattle's most known craft breweries outside of the state, which probably has something to do with the fact that they have a distribution partnership with Anheiser Busch. It might also have something to do with their great tasting beers.
Red Hook began operations in 1982 in the old trolley barn in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. After much success, ten years later they moved their headquarters to Woodinville on the Eastside (aka Microsoft land) and have been there ever since.
Even though they are not quite as close as they used to be, it is still worthwhile to get out there and do a tour. The tour does not involve much walking, but it does involve a lot of beer tasting. For $2, you can see the operations from above whilst sipping on samples from all of their current brews. If you are both a beer AND wine lover, the brewery is conveniently located adjacent to both the Columbia and Chateau Ste. Michele wineries.
During the summer, there are tours at 1, 3, and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and on the hour between noon and 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Also during the summer, the brewery hosts "Movies on the Lawn" for $5.
