Apparently, Seattle's a bit famous for it, so here are an assortment of random Pho places I passed while there... Feel free to add your own, or comments about these places, as I'd like to know which places to specifically check out (or avoid?) next time I'm in

Sit and Reflect

I spotted these mirror beds on a patch of open space along Avenue du Mont-Royal in the Plateau. Nobody was sitting on them, and the mirrors were covered in fingerprints.
