In the five years since she launched Simply Wed
in Lynnwood, Kirstie Warren has discovered there are plenty of brides and
grooms who want Rex in on the celebration. "Dogs are often like a
couple's first children, so it's natural they want to incorporate them

If you're a guy looking for summer shoes and the idea of "mandals"
-- Birkenstock's uptown cousins -- gives you the willies, you are not
alone.
That's why I recently decided to ask Mario's men's footwear
specialist, John Lee, about appropriate choices for men who want casual
but dressy summer footwear. John was happy to show me his favorites while offering
some good solid tips.

Six chandeliers grandly line the center of Stylus Salon's high ceiling. In fact, each carefully placed accoutrement -- from the appliance cabinets to the chairs -- brings functional style to the edgy new Belltown salon, the brainchild of Seattle stylists Robert Middleton (formerly of heavy-hitting local salons Red and Halo) and Jesus Ezcabar.

A new Washington Lottery commercial shows a hang glider taking to the air with first a penguin strapped to his chest, and then a chicken. The tagline of the touching ad: "Every bird should get to fly." But what about cats, dogs and other pets? Well, they have the option of flying commercial.

Full Throttle Bottles has everything you could want to pour down your gullet, affordably-priced and ready to move. And it also has a rideable elephant such as the kind one used to find grazing in front of supermarkets. Rides on "Tusko" costs only a dime, and if you leave the premises without springing for a ride on this possibly bibulous pachyderm you're missing the point of Full Throttle, of Georgetown and very possibly of life itself.
