..which admittedly would probably get boring after a short while, but there are a lot of great places to eat in the more rustic downtown area.. especially Indian. The best Mexican place I know in the greater Seattle area is in Redmond.. Taqueria El Gallo.

It’s also great to come out to a friend’s large house in Redmond and party here… as long as you don’t drive back to Seattle if intoxicated, or can sleep over, of course. Redmond partiers are underrated.

Oh yeah, very pretty too, if you look above and beyond the tech and the burb dreck.

But it’s certainly a better visit than Bellevue!

Kirkland beats Redmond for visiting, though, because it has a pretty colorful waterfront area.
