While dining out, ordering wine to go with your meal can be quite intimidating. You look over the extensive wine list unsure of what to order, or what may go best with your entrée. Hopefully, there will be a sommelier on-hand to lead you in the right direction. They will consider your price range, personal likes and dislikes and not balk at any inexperience. Instead of treating their customers with airs and elitism, they are there to help.Cate Easterly, wine director at 35th St. Bistro in Fremont, has been studying to be a sommelier for the past year, reading about wine regions, talking to winemakers and farmers, taking wine appreciation classes and practicing blind tastings.

As a Metro bus driver, bicyclists and walker, I have observed this trend, in particular the steady rise in the number of pedestrians.

Drive along East Madison Street toward Lake Washington and the fenced off, empty lot as you approach 21st Avenue East is hard to miss.
