Seattle Bassists Club

RobJ, that would be The Dutch Mothers restaurant, a local establishment/institution. And here's a tip you might already be aware of, but if you're going to eat at the Black Forrest, sit in the bar area instead of the main seated room- the food is the same but less expensive and sometimes faster. Good stuff there, for sure.

That's the place, fantastic breakfast. We go to the Black Forrest whenever we're up that way which is at least once a month and do take advantage of price difference in the bar sometimes. We're pretty friendly with the owners and one waitress in particular we've known for a few years.
 
Born and raised in Seattle. Grew up by Sandpoint Way. RHS '74.
Worked and played there until '96. Couldn't take I-5 anymore.
Still plenty of glass and steel in these veins tho.

Played the cover circuit early 70s - mid 80s
Original bands mid 80s - '96.

Link to the most known original band here.

I miss SeaWa and all my buds, but very happy to live here!

i wanna find the seattle band Gargantula... they have a pretty sweet bassist that i saw playing something with fanned frets. he had some pretty rad slap chops and ran some eden stereo rig with two small 10" cabs, but he sounded fantastic.

and port orfard? well, the coos bay area is really a beautiful place, my mother lives there. got to go visit last year and it's pretty out there. the dunes are incredible.
