Pretty good sushi, and the closest to the house. The best sushi in Seattle, in my opinion, is in West Seattle - Mashiko's - serving sustainable sushi.

Seattle's sustainable sushi restaurant, and delicious to boot. These guys know their business. They have three levels of sushi - and the third level requires special permission. Authentic.

Sightseeing

Fantastic nearby park, a peninsula on Lake Washington, with beautiful old-growth cedars, a 2-mile loop trail around the park, a great play area for little ones, and a beach to enjoy a picnic.

Arts & Culture

Closest movie theater, with four theaters, but a surprisingly comfy atmosphere, with an affordable (gasp) concession stand. First-run movies.
