  What's so bad about sodium laureth sulphate?

  4 0 People who don't want Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate in their shampoo are concerned that it strips too much oil from their hair. This is more of a problem for people with curly hair, who need to retain some natural oils in order to avoid frizziness, but it can happen to anyone. My stylist lectures me on the evils of SLS shampoos every time I get my hair cut. Another reason some people may wish to avoid products containing SLS is that it can overdry and irritate the skin. This can occur when using any kind of shampoo, soap, body wash, etc. that contains SLS. SLS isn't a problem for most people, but those with sensitive skin can have adverse reactions. e.strange answered in Hair/Body Care 23 days ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  Does anyone know the story behind the two modern triangular buildings next to the library on the corner of 24th and Yesler?

  2 0 I don't know anything about these buildings, but I was able to find them in King County's public record - the owner is listed as Frank Chopp Jr. I don't know if it's the Frank Chopp who represents the 43rd District in the WA House, but it could be... e.strange answered in Whatever 29 days ago Answer and comment »

  What is the best chinese restaurant in North Seattle?

  1 0 I haven't been there in a while, but I when I lived in North Seattle, Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon was my go-to place for Chinese food. Their homemade noodles are really good. My other favorite dishes are the Mandarin Fried Rice and the Dry Sauteed String Beans. Also, they deliver (between 45th & 125th and Aurora & Sand Point Way), which is awesome. e.strange answered in Eating Out about 1 month ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  1 0 I think it would. Based on the other Qland happy hours I've been to, I'm guessing there will be around 10-12 people who show up. People's Pub has a couple of really large tables and also tables that can be moved together if needed. If we do it on, say, a Tuesday, they probably won't be very crowded. I would notify them in advance so they're not caught off guard. e.strange commented about 1 month ago

  Tasty, not too expensive food near Cinerama?

  1 0 Serious Pie is a good suggestion. Other options nearby include: Ralph's Grocery - they have a deli with great sandwiches, salads, pizza and soups and a small seating area where you can eat. The prices are pretty good and so is the food. Also, they're open until 2:00 am. Palace Kitchen - this is another Tom Douglas restaurant. Although their dinner prices are a bit spendy, they have a great happy hour with both food and drink specials. Icon Grill - I haven't been to the Icon in a while, but I know they used to have an awesome happy hour. If memory serves they had a number of food items that were in the $6-$8 range. e.strange answered in Eating Out 2 months ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »
