Re: Nettie’s Fine Mexican Food (Railroad Ave in Bellevue)
I'm not sure that their Americanized version of Tex Mex would play as well compared to the other, more authentic, options available They should go into the old Bellevue Pizza Hut at 513 Fort Crook Rd N. IIRC, Golden Bowl was holding on to it for an event space but it never seems to be used. It woul...

Re: Big 10, What is next?

Re: Official - Downtown Master Plan
Initially before going though the report, I would have strongly disagreed with the removal of the 480-Grenville Dodge Viaduct downtown, though after looking at this, the way it would be replaced is very workable, still allows traffic to go back up on the east end where the Dodge Bridge is over to Co...
