So the first two are named “Capital Hill” and “Queen Anne”? Color me confused.
Also, are boquerones the same as anchovies?
We’ll be back in a few weeks so always looking for recs. TIA.
Cat, Those are location names. The company name is Taylor Shellfish Farms. My son had a great dinner at the Pioneer Square location last night.

Oh my. I’m not even going to try to explain my mix-up/misunderstanding. I HAVE heard of it and I’ll let it go at that. Our ‘kids’ aren’t going to be around our next trip up so we’ll have more time for things like that. Thanks, Midlife.
Spectacular photos, @PorkyBelly! Glad to see you had such a good time in Seattle. I’m sending my cousins to Taylor’s while we’re in town…I would have to ditch my own family in order to go…none of them enjoy oysters and geoduck. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your photos.

So the ones you had were “en vinagre” and not just plain anchovies/boquerones? Sounds good.
We have reservations at RockCreek, Ballard Annex House, and Palace Kitchen. We’re not in town long, so that’s all I could fit in.

Had lunch at the Queen Anne location. Twenty-four oysters, eight each of three different ones, and a bottle of cava. I didn’t ask but had the sense that the couple serving us may have been the owners. Oh, and when I was admiring what neighboring diners were having, I mentioned that neither of us had had geoduck so he brought us a couple of pieces each of body and siphon. We’ll definitely return. Thanks for the recs.
