Hi Hacilar - I am from Seattle, WA. Good to know that there are at least two of us in WA that have this problem 
How long have you been at this and how are you getting along? I've only been "confirmed" since June of this year, so I have some mental adjusting to this to do yet.

As my tag implies, I am indeed a Seattelite in Ballard, WA. Please, please, please contact me with any and all news re: gluten free in this town. The Flying Apron is an abomination in my opinion. Impromptu is wonderful but pricey. PF Changs - good but not for more than once a month. I recently was in Portland and was amazed at the choices available. It's not that I eat out every night, but when we do go out, I want to eat. You had to see the gluten-free menu Red Robin presented to me yesterday. The entire front page was a disclaimer. I left, telling the befuddled waiter that I was going to get sick if I ate in his restaurant. I'd really love to have someone locally who can help me navigate these waters, so message me! I was finally diagnosed in March via a genetic test. I had been sick since childhood, but no-one had ever put all of the pieces together. Hope to hear from you.

I'm from South King County.
Karen - sorry I can't help with the restaurant question. I only eat out at the local health food store deli and Outback (very occasionally). You might want to take a trip to Kent to try out Haley's Corner bakery. I think their stuff is way better than the Flying Apron.

Started Specific Carbohydrate Diet on 8-16-09 because son was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and want to give him moral support.
Diagnosed with Minimal Change Nephrotic Syndrome in 2003. Discovered that going completely gluten-free put me in remission.

I like the stuff at Flying Apron in Fremont. (The packaged stuff in the store isn't as good, imho. But the fresh stuff, including just going their for lunch, is good.)
There's Pizza Pi in the u-district (the soy cheese isn't very good, but the rest of it's fine ).
There's Chaco Canyon Cafe between Fremont and the U-District.
There's DaVinci's bakery (I don't know the neighborhood), which I don't like as much as Flying Apron myself, which mostly demonstrates that you just have to figure out what *you* like, since gluten-free foods can be so different.
There's Sunlight Cafe just west of Ravenna that has a number of options.
I like the sushi options at Rolls & Rolls Sushi Plus in Bellevue.
I haven't been to Cafe Flora, but I hear it's good, if expensive.
There's regularly a few things I get at Thai Ginger, one in Bellevue, Redmond, or Seattle.
There's a Pizza Works in Bothell.
I hear Portage Bay Cafe has gluten-free options as well.
And there's Sunny Valley Wheat Free in Maple Valley, which I haven't been to yet.
Of course, there's often a number of gluten-free options at the Whole Foods hot bar too. (The one in Ravenna is my favorite, the one near REI is good too.)
The stuff at Haley's Corner in Kent is good too.
Z'Tejas has a gluten free menu as well, and I've enjoyed a couple of meals there.
Remember that a lot of places don't necessarily have "gluten free menus" but may still know about gluten and can help you - at least, this can be the case in small places that are picky about their ingredients.

Madame K's in Ballard offers a gluten-free rice tortillia crust pizza and some gluten free pasta. (I haven't been in a long time so you may want to call and confirm they still have it). Garlic Jim's in Mukilteo on Mukilteo Speedway has a gluten free pizza crust. Manna Mills health food store in Montlake Terrace has a huge selection of gluten-free stuff, including rolls, doughnuts, pastas, crackers, cookies, etc.
