I just moved to Seattle from Long Beach last week. Is is a requirement to smoke if you live in Seattle? How about a little no smoking legislation for the bars and restaurants. I asked the checkout lady at Thriftway if they take Vons or Ralphs cards and she said "what are those?" To any Seattle TCers reading this: Where are the cool thrift stores, antique stores and tiki |

I don't know about Seattle but it is mandatory to smoke in Montreal. And they're damn cool. |

You ain't seen a smokin' city til you've been to Portland. A butt in every hand and a smoke shop on every block. Here are the cool Tiki places in Seattle: Here are the pretty cool ones: Here are the rest: For great Northwest Tiki times go to Portland and spend a drunken afternoon at the Alibi. |

Californians are definitely spoiled by the no-smoking thing. Try spending any time outside of North America, and you will consider Seattle a smoke-free zone. |

You can smoke while waiting for your plane in Charles de Gaulle airport (Paris). The French love their Gauloises! The interesting thing is, the French airport folks just installed super powerful space age ventilation things, so even though people were smoking right beside you in the chic open smoking lounge, you couldn't smell it at all. Pretty astounding. Not like the nasty smoking room in Toronto Pearson, which is the size of a closet and could choke a 3 pack a day smoker. So why ban smoking? Just install space age smoke suckers! Sorry to hijack this into a smoking thread. But it could just as easily be a socks and sandals thread. I'm easy. |

Sweetpea, if it's any help toward your quitting smoking, you know all those terrible diseases & health problems they say heavy smokers have? The scientists consider anything over 1 cigarette a week a heavy smoker; that was cigarette not pack. What's sad about that Seattlite list is I got more right yeses on it than the Tiki Freak questionare, & I live in San Diego. |

Aw... I wasn't missing Seattle until you posted that list, Pea. The only "no"s for me are 7, 24 and 36. Most of the computer geeks in the Seattle area are actually pretty anti-Microsoft, the only people I've ever known there are more marketing types, and they find themselves often having to apologize for the place they work. I would never, ever wear socks with sandals. I used to, but I finally figured that one out. Riviera -- you must be hanging out in different parts of Seattle than I did. I never thought Seattle was a particularly smoking-heavy city. The smoke is pretty heavy in the nightclubs, though. There is only one tiki place that is actually a cool hang-out, but it ain't truly tiki: Tuesdays at Thaiku in Ballard with Selector Lopaka. I miss you, puamana & Lopaka! |

We miss you too, Humuhumu ! You left just in time to miss the crappy weather that's been kicking in, lots of rain and even slushy snow the other morning. Time to plan our escape to the islands in the spring for some sun. How's life in CA ? tiki-riviera, welcome ! Sorry the weather has been so funky since your arrival, it does get better. Let us know once you get settled in, it would be great to to meet up sometime, wherever folks wanted to go. Though the flea market here is tiny compared to the CA shows, we have managed to find some things there, but do better on our drives both north and south of here. Garage sales are good in the summer.
