The Roxbury Auto Parts rave made me think about this and I thought it would be nice if we could post about great businesses in West Seattle (and surrounding areas) with awesome service.
I'll repost that Roxbury Auto Parts is the only place I'd go for my auto parts. Please add on other businesses. (or post the link if this was already discussed)

Elliot Bay, Zippy's, Roxbury Auto Parts, Puerto Vallarta, Easy Street, Toshi's Terriaki, Full Tilt, Proletariat,
Curious Kidstuff! While I might be able to find things for a little less money online, the people who work there are great, and if you've ever had anything wrapped, you know what a special present they put together. It's worth it to spend a couple more bucks for the service that they provide. And it's a fun place for the little ones to play while you shop.

VBD: shouldn't you be doing homework instead of obsessing about every possible category of favoriteness?
My quick favorites: Red Cup Espresso!; Seattle Yarn; Elliott Bay Brewery; Full Tilt.
Oh! And Viking Bank.
Irukandji: Procrastination becomes me.
Here I go again!
Coffee to a Tea - Gilyan and August are the BEST
West 5 - Toni rocks :)
Seattle Yarn...so much yarn...so little time...
Husky Deli
Maharaja
Eek! How could I forget???? Cycle University. Katherine and Brad are amazing people and mechanics.
I would like to rave about Mailbox West in Morgan Junction. Super friendly, knowledgeable and a great alternative to waiting in line at the post office or having to deal with the Jefferson Sq parking lot to visit the UPS store.

Another plus for Mailbox West is that they will take my huge bags of packing peanuts and bubble wrap as long as it's clean.
Red Cup Espresso! Great coffee, great people.

A posthumous mention for The Bohemian (sniffle)
casaboba: I beg to differ. Each of these businesses is special in their own way. Seattle Yarn is different from Elliott Bay Brewery which is different from the West Seattle Blog which is different from ArtsWest, but they're all very good at what they do, in their own "special" way.
Plus, mom always said that everyone was special in their own way--you're not going to argue with Mom Bulldog now, are you? ;-)
