Northwest Chinese food hits Capitol Hill.

Zhu Dang, which opened up this past December, offers an expansive menu of modern Chinese food. With home style favorites like Shen Jian Bao (pan fried dumplings) and Lion’s Head Meatball soup, I was excited to check out this hot new spot. Dishes to share that includes noodles, fried rice, meat entrees, soups, and seafood, there’s a lot to choose from and something for everyone. Familiar flavors

Seattle (and the entire NW) amps up for a high-volume season.

Seattelites love to rock out all year-round, but when we’re finally blessed with never-ending azure days, we crank it up even harder. This summer’s music options include the obvious gems like Capitol Hill Block Party (July 25-27) and Bumbershoot (August 30-September 1), and we’re impressed once again with these events’ lineups that continue to “wow.”
