The Latona Pub gets props in The Seattle Weekly

One place to keep up on what’s new, dark, and different this time of year is the Latona Pub (6423 Latona Ave. N.E.). The Green Lake establishment makes room for beer geeks and regular folk alike, with knowledgeable but never beerier-than-thou service, a classic and well-executed menu, and a rotating tap of the very best of what’s going on in beer in this region right now. And during their recent hop harvest celebration, they “Randallized” a few brews for increased hop delivery. The Randall is buzzing right now.

Meet Green Lake residents (and fab locavores) Patricia and John, creators of Cook Local

As we’ve mentioned before, there’s a whole lot of awesomeness going on around here. Case in point: Cook Local, the home of all things food and local … and fast becoming one of Seattle’s favorite online destinations.
