Tom’s Letter
Have you been to the new Seatown?? For the last 27 years, the possibility of having a restaurant on the corners of Pike Place, Western Ave, and Virginia St. has been nipping at my peabrain. Seatown is blessed with a view down the well worn cobblestones of Pike Place Market all the way to the iconic market clock bearing the familiar market slogan, “Meet the Producer.” You can take a broad look over Victor Steinbrueck Park, Elliott Bay, and Harbor Island and even get a breathtaking vista from Mt. Rainier once in a while. This has to be one of the most natural dining places in the whole city. My dreams came to fruition when the space that housed Habits furniture store next to Etta’s became available this last spring…..
I could keep going because I’m very excited about the joint, but you’ll have to discover more for yourself. You can often find me rain or shine sitting out front in the open air, sipping our tasty pour over coffee at breakfast, the perfect bottle of Chinook Rose in the afternoon, or a lusty Dry Fly whiskey in the evening. This is truly a dream come true!

It was about 27 years ago that I moved to Seattle and discovered Cafe Sport and Mr. Tom Douglas. So may I congratulate you, your team, and family on the wonderful move. Can’t wait to order up at Seatown.

I totally agree with you Tom: sitting outside at Seatown last week for lunch, eating about 7 different items, taking in the view, and having a glass of that wonderful Rose was a Perfect Seattle Afternoon!

We just returned from Seattle and, after visiting Etta’s, decided to make up our own tour of all of your restaurants. I blogged about it on my website, http://www.mamasemptynest.com. Everyone at your restaurants was wonderful to us and gave us great recommendations so we could get a great cross section of your food. The atmosphere, light fixtures, and decor in each place was also incredible. What a great highlight to our trip!
