Where to Eat on Phinney Ridge

This used to be a low-key neighborhood for dining. Then—boom. People used to toss around words like “reliable” or “low-key” to describe the concentration of restaurants on Phinney Ridge. The real action was north in Greenwood, or down the hill in Ballard. Over the years, though, a few new spots trickled in to live double lives as neighborhood hangouts that also draw diners from across Seattle.

America keeps funding homelessness instead of ending it | Opinion

Imagine calling the fire department as your home burns, only to discover the firefighters have been pouring gasoline on the flames. Worse, they demand ever-larger budgets, congratulate themselves for responding to more fires and insist that questioning their effectiveness threatens public safety. Welcome to America's "Homeless Industrial Complex." Recent revelations from Seattle and New York show just how disturbing it has become. In Seattle, an independent financial review uncovered a staggering $16.7 million shortfall at the King County Regional Homelessness Authority, following years of financial mismanagement. The agency spent money it never earned, accumulated debt and incurred millions in interest expenses. Meanwhile, its CEO and her deputy earn more than $600,000 combined annually . Now Seattle and King County taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill . Across the country, an Oct. 31 New York Post investigation revealed that state Attorney General Letitia James' office has taken no enforcement action against three major homeless shelter operators despite serious findings against them by government watchdogs. Meanwhile, executives, lobbyists and associates connected to those operators contributed more than $56,000 to her political campaigns. Among the reported findings: One operator overbilled taxpayers more than $566,000; another faced scrutiny over insider transactions and

BIZNOTE: Another closure this weekend – West Seattle Junction restaurant Taste & Best, after 3 1/2 months

Yet another local business closure looming this weekend – along with West Seattle Coin Laundry and The Wash Dog, add to the list Taste & Best, the Indian restaurant at 4752 California SW that never even put up a permanent sign (the photo above is from tonight). After a reader tip, we stopped in on the way to tonight’s West Seattle Art Walk and a staff member told us they’re closing Sunday (November 15), also mentioning that the restaurant is for sale (this blind listing appears to match). The restaurant opened in late July, less than a month after Great American Diner and Bar closed in that space. (Great American’s owner said at the time he was looking for another West Seattle location; when we checked back with him recently, he said he was “still looking.”) Before Great American, the corner space had been through a parade of establishments, including another with a short stay (Shelby’s, less than six months). Taste & Best’s owners opened a location in Shoreline almost simultaneous with West Seattle; no word yet on its fate.
