I am flexible on location. Someplace like the > Still Life in Seattle The one time I was at Still Life, it was jam packed--hard to find a place for even two people--and very noisy. Parking was also difficult. I acknowledge, however, that Still Life does have a reasonable choice of lunch items. I like Lighthouse Roasters because of their coffee; both the plain & special coffees are excellent. Parking is also readily available. I acknowledge, however, that Lighthouse has only sinful pastries to snack on. (I deliberately stick to their coffee.) In short, I am volunteering to set up a meeting for August but would appreciate feedback from others on the location. Since I live in Ballard, I will be partial to locations in Ballard, Fremont, and Phinney Ridge. Oh, would anyone be open to a lunch buffet at Chutneys Bistro in Wallingford? All the Indian food you can eat--and very delicious--for $5.95. Let me know what you think. Judi Gibbs ---------- > From: Jan C.
