Ok well its pretty clear to me at this point that Bellevue, Kirland and Redmond are going to be the best demographically for the majority of the members and have the best chance at fitting most of the criteria on the list. As far as recommendations for specific restaurants I couldn't tell you, I don't frequent these enough to have enough favorites in this part of town. I do know that having a nice outside set up for the summer is a must. I hate feeling like i'm sitting in a school room cafeteria with some of you jokers.

 

 

405N north of 520 gets slow in rush hour, but 124th is only like 2 miles north of 520. You can also exit 85th and take 124th all the way up.

Agreed, a porch is definitely nice to have. I also thought about suggesting Coho Cafe in Redmond Bella Bottega because they have an awesome porch and I think indoor seating works out too... but being tucked away north of downtown Redmond makes it a bit inaccessable.

I'm down with Applebee's. Their food is way better than Azteca and they have quite a variety. Parking seemed decent and Vicky will be there. It'll be interesting to hear about the table logistics.

By Eastside, I think folks are thinking close to where we meet now. This is central to where many people live, work or is on the way home from work.

 

Unless your done with work 3 hours before the meeting time and live in lake Stevens

 

Didn't you just mention growing a sac and getting off work at a liveable hour? LOL

Lake Stevens isn't further away than my house is.

I will try to make it out tomorrow, I'm still interested in crapplebees if they meet our requirements. Parking can get a tad bit tight there.

 

Done at 3:30pm? Sorry we can't accommodate fringe schedules.

 

... or fringe people

 

Isn't that being awfully generous?

 

This thread gets a serious WTF and the OP should be kicked in the nuts for thinking he'd get a few reasonable suggestions. Sorry, we're not going to inconvenience nearly everyone to accommodate a bunch of people who never go.


All that said, hope to see everyone who's made this a great weekly shindig for the last... long time. And watch Ray reclaim the taco record for all time.


Also, I still have some shirts! [/shameless plug]
