Amenities

Finding Amenities near R&R couldn't be easier. Aurora Ave. North (a.k.a. HWY 99) has nearly everything you need within a few miles North or South of 155th Street.

Navigation is simple: any address on Aurora (e.g. 15744 Aurora Avenue North) gives you the cross street (157th). Odd address numbers are on the West side, even to the East.

To get to Aurora from R&R, head West to Meridian Ave N and take a Right (North). At the light (N 155th Street) take a Left (West) and proceed 1/2 mile to Aurora Ave N (it's well signed, and memorable for the big pedestrian overpasses).

Restaurants

There are literally hundreds of eateries up and down Aurora in Shoreline, Seattle (South of 145th), and Edmonds (North of 205th). The following are a few highlights nearest to R&R. Sadly, if you want seriously Upscale dining, you will have to look further afield. Plenty of Casinos nearby, though.
