      Never been to Seattle, but I'll bet Blue Owl Workshop is worth a trip.

        http://www.freemanseattle.com/  is great if you're heading over to the Capitol Hill area.  I love their stuff.

          Definitely go to Blue Owl Workshop.  Getting my 666XHS hemmed there on Friday.  Owner/Curator Jay and his staff are all very friendly and super knowledgeable.

          If you make it over to the east side of Lake Washington Asher Goods is also a good spot to check out.

          Freeman On Capitol Hill is a pretty good little shop as well.  A good selection of Left Field denim.

          If you are purely looking for a denim place then nothing can touch Blue Owl.  It's closest competitor would be Self Edge Portland.

            Wow, late to the party. Agreed with the above. Blue Owl is amazing. Asher is good, and those guys are tight with the Self-Edge guys.

                  @Snowy as far as shops I would recommend checking out Blue Owl Workshop, Asher Goods, the Filson flagship, Freeman, and Glasswing.

                  Food:

                  Cheap and good - Paseo (cuban sandwich), Musashi (sushi), bol (pho), El Camion (burritos), Green Leaf (Vietnamese), Delicatus (sandwiches), Salumi (sandwiches), Tats (sandwiches).

                  mid range - Ba bar (asian fusion), Walrus & Carpenter (seafood), Oddfellows (american), Canon (cocktails), Knee High Stocking Co. (speakeasy - booze and small plates), Bathtub Gin (cocktails), Revel (asian fusion), Tamarind Tree (Vietnamese)

                  Spendy - Matt's in the Market (seafood/American), Salare (seafood/American), The Corson Building (American), Sitka and Spruce (American (near Glasswing)), Canlis (Seafood/American really expensive), The Herb Farm (local seasonal and really expensive), Shiro's (sushi).

                  Coffee:

                  Vivace is the best in Seattle in my opinion.  Others - Cherry Street, Ladro, Herkimer, Zoka, Migliore, Stumptown, Fiore, Revolutions.

                    Thanks very much @BloodnThunder solid list there!

                    Most of my time is focused around South Lake Union so haven't branched as far as some of those places would take me. Exciting!

                      No problem at all @Snowy.  South Lake Union is nice and centrally located.  A number of these are just up the hill or across the Fremont bridge from there.

                        My favorite food in Seattle is at Harvest Vine, which is spendy but amazing. I've been going once a year or more since '99.

                            @jdwaid Two off the top of my head are the “Capital Grill” and “Ray’s Boathouse”. I’ll try to come up with some others.

                            Ray’s Boathouse just might be my favourite restaurant that I’ve ever been to. https://www.rays.com/

                                @jdwaid Ray's is a good spot, but be sure to go upstairs to the more casual side. They don't take reservations, they serve the same food, it is less expensive, and has a better view.

                                Otherwise, I could list a bunch of things but my favorites are the zig zag Cafe, Loretta's northwester, dantinis Pizza and take it to holy mountain next door, cuidad, family friend, dintaifung, mashiko, asadero Sinaloa, and a handful of others. Really just depends on where you're staying and what you want.

                                  @pechelman thanks for the tips. I'm all about walk in dining. I'll check out the other spots you mentioned too. I'm staying downtown in the "hotel district" near Pike Place.

                                    Zig zag is right next to pike place. Amazing cocktails and atmosphere with some solid food. There's also a tiny pasta place tucked in the market proper that does daily specials that I love but it's not exactly a pleasant place to hang out. Casalinga is kinda behind delaurenti (an amazing Italian market) and upstairs in the atrium with the giant kraken hanging. For street food I also really like the hombow from mee sum pastry right there.

                                    Edit
                                    Oh, also post alley pizza who also have an amazing sandwich is just a few blocks south. And I think there's a dough zone just opened there too instead of din tai fung for soup dumplings. Dtf is generally better and nicer but you're walking distance to DZ.

                                    Edit2
                                    Westward also for oysters/seafood with an amazing view of the city. I also like the whale wins and joule right next door.

                                          @Boit said in IRON HEART WAYWT - 2025 EDITION:

                                          Ray’s (good happy hour spot with great waterfront views, @pechelman this is the upstairs restaurant…downstairs is something else)

                                          They're both Ray's which is the confusion people have had when I've sent them there. The lower is their fine dining side, which I think is actually called the Boathouse. The one I'm very intentional with recommending to people by telling them to "just walk up the stairs" is apparently called the cafe. Regardless, it's a good spot.

                                          Also adding a few of your items to our list to try, though I've not had good experiences at dingfelders. Some of the worst pastrami I think i've ever had.

                                            @pechelman interesting. just went to web and looks like you’re correct. Host downstairs told me the contrary.

                                            re Dingfelders: that’s surprising. Maybe their pastrami quality is variable. I’m batting 4 for 4 v happy. In my mind it’s as good as Katz’s in NYC…however because we dont have a lot of this type food here and been long time since visiting SENYC I could be mistaken?!
