 Saleh al Lago, by Green Lake may be one of the best, but I would say it's
 on the expensive side.  It's Italian with a Middle Eastern slant, if
 that's possible.  Whatever you call it, it's excellent.

 My last vist I stayed at the Inn at the Market (or some similar name).
  It's located in Pike Place market which is one of the great farmers
 style markets of the Western Hemisphere.  There are many good places to
 eat within the market, but we bought fresh seafood and produce and
 cooked up a storm - the rooms at the Inn have kitchenettes.

 If you get the chance, take three or four days and tour the Olympic
 Penninsula - plenty of rustic and good cuisine.

 Enjoy!
