JETTY ISLAND DAYS

Our friends at N.W. Live put together a video featuring Everett's J. Ramen & Sushi. Check it out here. If you haven't eaten at this place yet, it's a must.
Tyler took a couple days off and camp-toured the Olympic Peninsula. He says it was beautiful, but apparently the food over there SUCKS (for the most part). We're grateful to have such an array of superb (and affordable) places to eat out in Everett. Seriously, where else can you get a waterfront view and keep your tab under $10? Nowhere, that's where.
