The coal creek Quiznos in Newcastle, WA is closing down it store. The property raised their rent to $4,800 a month and the owners of Quiznos just couldn't make enough money. It's sad to see a chain restaurant not be able to make enough money to pay rent. Imagine if it was a local business owner.
The rumor is that a yogurt place will be taking Quiznos spot.

TriMet WES Commuter Rail
THIS IS AN OLD DRAFT THAT I NEVER POSTED.
http://www.trimet.org/wes/index.htm
Commuters in Washington and Clackamas counties will soon have a new alternative to I-5/Highway 217. Starting in fall 2008, you can travel from Wilsonville to Beaverton in only 27 minutes… on WES.
TriMet’s WES (short for Westside Express Service) is a new commuter rail line serving Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville. WES will run every 30 minutes, Monday through Friday, during the morning and afternoon rush hour.
Instead of sitting in traffic, you'll have your own "WES time" to use however you like. Plus, you can depend on WES to get you there on time. Now isn't that a nice way to start your workday?

Red House Beer and Wine in Renton, WA
Since moving to Newcastle in September 2011, we have been trying out new restaurants in our hood. A majority of them have been in Renton and are either bars or burger joints. We stumbled upon a great restaurant in downtown Renton called Red House Beer and Wine: http://www.redhousebeerandwine.com/. The restaurant opened 6 years ago in an old 1920's boarding house for coal miners and railroad workers. They have tapas, entrees, and hundreds of different beers and wines.
Here are the tapas we shared:
- Serrano Ham & Manchego Cheese, Olive Oil & Black Pepper on Grilled Rustic Bread $8
- Shrimp Risotto Croquettes With Romesco Sauce & Garlic-Caper Aioli $9 (this was my fav)
- Steamed Clams White Wine, Garlic, Scallions, Butter & Lemon $12 Add Pomme Frites $4
We did not try this, but they have rabbit on their menu:
Braised Rabbit - Bone-in Leg braised in a rich Red Wine Sauce with Bacon, Carrots, Mushrooms & Grilled Polenta $21
