Bellevue is happening, people. Last week I got tagged on FB by my former colleague Gail Gedan Spencer who sent this article from Yahoo Travel that calls Bellevue one of the country's "coolest suburbs". (I know, kind of an oxymoron..how can suburbs be cool?)
Whether it is or not, we definitely seem to be benefiting from Seattle crossover coolness. I was so excited to see the sign for Bill the Butcher recently pop up on a storefront a few blocks from my house, across from Jiffy Lube on Main Street. (Especially loved the opening-day slogan "Come meat us on Saturday!")
(Incidentally, Allison Linn at msnbc.com recently wrote about the Local Butcher trend.)
I dropped in yesterday and picked up a gorgeous pork tenderloin. The company, started by William Von Schneidau (pictured above), now has 5 locations in the greater Seattle area and works with local farmers and ranchers who "raise beef, pork and poultry without hormones, steroids and genetically modified feed." The store also has other great local products, like Ballard Honey and Theo Chocolates.
What with that and my Full Circle Farm delivery, I am wondering when I'll ever need to go to Safeway.
