Groceries
A local "superstore" for groceries, home goods, and seemingly everything else -- within easy walking distance. They carry a solid selection of organic foods, bread from Grand Central Bakery (among others), and a wide wine and cheese selection (Murray's NYC). For Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, head to nearby Ballard.

Quite a nice grocery market, an alternative to Whole Foods. A short drive away in Ballard. Freshly made pizzas, sandwiches, self-serve salad bar. Across the street from Trader Joe's, so worth a peek.

A well-known seafood restaurant on the water, a short drive away. Solid service, nice views. Their signature dish -- Pacific Sablefish (a.k.a. black cod) -- was delicious; the Salmon was also great.
