Waterfront dining, great for lunch or special occasion for dinner. I'm not a fan of their early bird special but ordering a la carte seems to be in another league.

I absolutely love the chowder at Duke's on Lake Union. if you sit outside there are stunning views of the lake -- but it is kind of far and you have to pay to park--so since you can look at the water at my place, you could just pop down to Westfield Southcenter (i.e. the mall) and park for free and enjoy a cup of the very same Duke's chowder a bit more close to home. Also they have a great happy hour.

This is a good place to check. Enterprise will pick you up and drop you off (except not at the airport) Check the prices at the airport and compare with Burien Enterprise. If they are significantly cheaper, you could take an Uber or a LYFT from the airport to our place (or to Enterprise) and get your car there. It takes extra time -- so the savings needs to be worth it but I always check.
