It's gorgeous out, in case you hadn't noticed. Seattlest works from home, but can't stand to be indoors any longer. These are the days that make working from home such a sweet gig. However, we can't just flat-out play hooky, because we have this blog to edit, and these other jobs to do. We're looking for some eating establishment (we'll settle for a drinking establishment that serves "food") that has both outdoor seating and wifi, and is open before 4 p.m. Our fellow contributors have nothing on this, so we're putting the question to you, dear readers. Certainly, with all the work-from-homers in this town, somewhere has opened up to cater to our sunny day needs. We prefer to stay on the Hill, but will happily bike anywhere. Go!

Friendly Folk-Pop for the Kids: Hey Marseilles at Vera This Saturday


Collins Pub FTW. Pretty good food and great beverages.

Not on the Hill, but in Magnolia. Mulleady's Irish Pub. Nice little outdoor seating area, good food and GREAT beers!
Barking Dog up in Ballard has 'em both and a massive selection of beer.
The outdoor seating stumps me. Caffe Presse has great wifi but no outdoor seating. Doesn't the Elysian and/or Rosebud have a few seats out back?
Ooh, yep! The Rosebud has a nice little courtyard out back. Not much sun exposure though...if that's what you're looking for.
Free wifi all through Columbia City, from the library through the business district. Lottie's, the Bakery, Tutta Bella's -- you name it. There are some warm, sunny sidewalk venues.
Here's your bike route.
Columbia City is my next area to explore -- apparently there's a Walnut Levain loaf at that bakery that will spoil you for all other Walnut Levain.
