You are just flat out wrong on that. And I have NO need to go to Seattle to
eat. Like I said... Prices are higher in Seattle and most places have no
parking.

Now when I did live in Seattle, I went to Las Margaritas when I could. They
have a small parking lot and if I got there early enough, I might get a
parking spot. Go at dinner time, and you may well get no parking.

And yet... I didn't say there was no queso. I did say that they do have it
at La Palmera.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Any time we have to go to Seattle such as the downtown
area, we allow two hours. Because it can take that long to get there. It's
over 20 miles. My husband is trying to get a job closer to home because he's
sick of the commute.
