 For good hot and sour all you need to do is find a restaurant that
 specialises of the northern chinese style. My favorite is the Casade Garden
 located in Issaquah. I'm still looking.. and a three hour drive is a bit
 out of my range, but so far I have not found any better. There were several
 posts recently that I have yet to try. (and looking forward to it!)

                   Peking House on the corner of 175th and 15th Ave, seattle
                   Snappy Dragon at 90th and Roosevelt NE
