Please tell me where to eat in the international district, we don't go downtown Seattle often as we haven't a clue where to go. And you did get that we don't go anywhere decent - my favourite restaurant is cracker barrel - I'm a stingy git

No its sales tax....on purchases....nothing to do with income tax on income. I put sales tax in my previous post but ommitted it in the last one...sorry for the confusion.

Ok let me recommend Ballet...which is incredibly cheap (Cap Hill near QFC) some great bars there too....very lively... Ballet looks like a dive but its been there for years, the food is incredible! Asian/Thai - $18 for two ...I have a craving just thinking about it lol. BTW ever been to Best Wok...close to Redmond for lunch? 4 courses for $6 ..you'll love it lol
