    Family dining/take out options in North Creek

    Four adults and five kids staying near Gore for the February break. I expect we will go out and eat dinner a couple times. At least we will get some take out. I would love to go to Friends Lake but not with this crowd. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    Freddie Anderson

    Freddie Anderson was one of 10 instructors named in Ski magazine. I've had the pleasure to meet Freddie Andersen. In my limited experience, I couldn't think of a better choice. I applaud SKI magazine for recognizing this woman. The rumor around here is that Freddie has taught pretty much...
