MS is about to launch a new web application they call Virtual Earth. It is essentially Microsoft's new and improved mapping solution and it looks like they have really put some hard thought into this product. It looks sweet! But, don't take my word for it - watch a video interviewing the guys that made it.
I hope they meet there expected launch time of early July as I'm moving to Redmond at the end of June and that would be an invaluable tool for learning some of the areas I'm not familiar with.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard you look using the service I'm sure you won't be able to find a decent grocery store in the Bellevue/Redmond area. This is not because there is a lack of them in the area, but rather that they all suck! Yes, thats right American grocery stores have terrible selection. If you have lived in both the States and Canada for more than a month each, you will know the selection in Canadian grocery stores is far superior.
