Convergence Zone
Despite what Mayor Nickels would have us believe, it isn't a
professional sports team that can make or break a city's reputation as
"world-class." As anyone who has been to Europe can tell you, it's a
full-service grocery store in the heart of downtown that makes a city
truly cosmopolitan. And if that grocery store has an escalator? We're talking not just world-class, but head of the class, baby.

Daily Find
Walking into new Georgetown shop Great Stuff Vintage Furnishings is like sliding down the rabbit hole -- you just never know what you're going to find. On a recent visit, I spied a vibrant yellow 1930s wooden toy duck from a Tacoma shoe store ($625) alongside a breathtaking ornamental column from the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland ($9,500).
