Salmon, oysters, desserts with apples or blackberries, Washington State
wines.
Seattle's Best roasters are in Seattle but obviously the coffee isn't
native to the area.

Seattle's Best is roasted in Seattle. Their beans are from everywhere.

Tom, I don't know much about Seattle foods (other than coffee and crab, or
maybe some kind of cute MicroSoft-themed something or other...or some food
in the shape of the Space Needle....or maybe Seahawk wings?).

But here's a question for you.....What Pittsburgh foods are there
(especially that would be suitable for SuperBowl munchies)? What do they
call hoagies there....is it bulkies? And there's something interesting with
french fries, right? What else? Thanks!

Actually, some of the downtown souvenir shops sell bags of pasta shaped
like our iconic landmark: "Space Noodles."

> or maybe Seahawk wings?).

I'm still not sure if "seahawk" refers to a real creature, or the
stylized bird images that appear in the art of Native Americans of the
NW.

Maybe it refers to the stuff that CJ and I once had at a restaurant in
Port Angeles. We ordered Tandoori chicken, and it was nasty. Dry,
tough, and flavorless. When we walked out of the restaurant we noticed
a large group of seagulls in the alley behind the restaurant, picking at
garbage. Right next to the kitchen door. Ever since then, we've
referred to that joint as the "Tandoori Seagull" restaurant.

Oops, that question went right over my head. I was thinking you were
going to BE in Seattle.

Make a cake that has cut up mountain bars in it.

Salmon. Not Atlantic farm-raised salmon, but Pacific salmon.
Smoked salmon. Not lox, but hot-smoked Pacific salmon.
Salmon jerky.
Mussels, clams, Dungeness crab, oysters.
Pho and teriyaki.
Hum bow (Chinese baked buns), banh mi sandwiches, and potstickers.
Asparagus.
Macrina bakery bread.
Top Pot doughnuts.
Washington state Riesling, Gewurztraminer, or Pinot Noir.
Caffe d'Arte coffee (the SO's local favorite).
Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, or apple crisp.
Snoqualmie ice cream.

We live in a foodie promised land.

Cindy has mase a great summation here.
I might add Washington state Shiraz or Cab to the wine list,
Almond Roca(ahh..Frederick and Nelson),
Jones Soda,
Numerous microbrews to choose from(Redhook should be readily
available, as it is now owned by Anheiser-Busch),
Good call on the Caffe d"Arte (Is Torrefazzione still around?),
Nettle Soup,
Try alder or cedar planking the salmon.

Seattle's Best Coffee used to be Stewart Brothers Coffee and is now
owned by Starbuck's.

Torrefazzioni (sp?) is still around, but they mostly do institutional
coffee supplies. The cafeterias at Swedish (where I work) serve their
coffees. A little way north, on Capitol Hill, is Espresso Vivace. SO
likes this place as well. The Vivace people are almost as obsessive
compulsive as he is about coffee. Zoka near Green Lake and University
Village has decent loose teas as well as coffees. (I am a member of a
put-upon minority group in Seattle--I prefer tea to coffee.)

Almond Roca has diversified into Cashew Roca, Mocha Roca, and Roca made
with crushed candy canes. The original is still the best.

And how could I forget geoducks???

I just returned from a quick road trip to Seattle, and I visited the Pike
Place Market while I was there. For the "Seattle Experience" party, I'd
recommend oyster shooters, salmon (steelhead would be even more authentic,
if you can get it) which is either grilled or alder-smoked, hot apple cider,
and seafood chowder. This time of year, there's not much in the way of
produce. I asked about the berries I saw, and was told that they were from
southern California.
