<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi there all. I am traveling to Seattle in a couple of weeks with three gf kids (ages 9, 6, and 3). I am really in need of suggestions for restaurants that are both kid-friendly and able to accomodate gf needs in the downtown area (we will be staying near the space needle for several days. Also healthfood or grocery stores in that area... Then we are moving along to Orcas Island and staying with friends....but would appreciate any dining or shopping suggestions for that area. My apologies to listowners who told me this was "too local" but I have sent messages to any one I can find in the seattle area and am not getting the info I need. Please, no suggestions for equipment I should carry along...it is just me and the kids and I am needing to pack very minimally so I can manage to carry it<G>. Thanks to all for your help, Lynn
