Issaquah's Coho Cafe serves up spectacular food | Restaurant Review

Atmosphere: The Coho Cafe has excellent decor. The walls are painted in a bright rainbow of colors that all slide together, reminiscent of fish scales. The restaurant has a lot of open space and feels huge. My favorite aspect was the metalwork sculptures, especially the chandeliers, which had metal cutouts of wavy forks hanging from them. The lighting was excellent, with both pinkish- and blueish-tinged lights. The cooking area is open to the view of the public. Jazz music plays in the background, but the most common noise is that of the many conversations that buzz about in the packed cafe.

Redmond band Big Dog Revue to return to Derby Days

The 2008 Redmond Derby Days theme is “Through the Decades” and there’s no better way to jog people’s nostalgic memories than with music they associate with their “good old days.” Because Derby Days is geared to fun-lovers of all ages, it’s fitting that the entertainment line-up for this year’s festival spans more than 50 years’ worth of popular music.
