A special thanks to this week's title sponsor, Mazatlan. We can't say enough good things about these guys. Their food is outstanding and the owners are two of the nicest people in the world. Also, they have daily specials that we think are some of the best (and tastiest) deals in Everett.

THINGS TO DO IN EVERETT, WASHINGTON

BILLY ELLIOT

This is your LAST WEEK to catch Village Theatre's outstanding performance of Billy Elliot. If you have not seen it, don't miss it (seriously). Get tickets here.

EAT + DRINK

We checked out SNAX for lunch last week (it's a new spot on Wetmore and Everett Ave. that specializes in hot dogs and ice cream) and we've gotta say, it was pretty darn good. If you're going to eat a hotdog, do it here. They've stepped up the normal hot dog game with fresh and local accoutrements and they have root beer on tap. The prices are good, too. This place is a slam dunk if you have kids, especially.

We stopped in and got take out from Jasmine Thai last week and we've gotta say, it might be the best Thai food in Everett. We know, that's controversial, but seriously, it's so darn good. The ambiance is pretty basic, so if you're looking for a romantic date spot, this isn't it. However, if you're looking for a delicious lunch, or outstanding take-out to bring to the park, go here. Also, it's cheap and the staff is awesome.
