Give the Indian eatery another chance
If you’re like my wife and me, you probably tried the All India Restaurant when it first opened and probably left the establishment swearing you’d never go back for a variety of reasons. Walking by the restaurant, one soon noted a severe lack of patrons. The restaurant closed shortly thereafter.
Not too long ago we heard that the restaurant was under new ownership and is now called Spice Route. We hesitantly decided to try it out, wondering if it was the same restaurant with a new face. We were delighted to find that Spice Route bears no resemblance to its predecessor.
From the moment we walked in, we received timely and attentive service. The wait staff was extremely helpful, asking all the right questions to help us sort through the many entrées on the menu. Our dinners were delivered in a timely fashion and were delicious — this from a couple who know Indian food. We continued to receive quality service throughout our meal; our water glass was never empty. While not intending to order dessert, we just could not resist and were not disappointed.
We have also used their take-out service and have found it to be equally impressive in terms of taste and service.
We are not restaurant critics — simply two Islanders who expect high-quality service and a great dining experience in return for our hard-earned money. I’m happy to say that Spice Route delivers on all counts.

Property dispute
Family works to resolve easement issue
Our deepest appreciation goes to those who have responded — personally, with mail and support — in an effort to help us resolve our dispute with the Vashon Island School District over our property.
We continue to focus on arranging a meeting with the school district, which owns the property, and Vashon Park District, the renters, in an effort toward resolution.
We are fortunate to have Margaret Rosser still alive to verify the facts of the Rosser property purchase, property lines, private roadways and easements — the result of negotiations held in the 1940s.
The usage of school properties in a reciprocal agreement in exchange for our private roadway use and access took place before most of us were born. We’re asking the current school district to simply continue the agreement their predecessors established.
The Rossers are still in need of funds to support legal fees in working towards resolution with the school district and park district and have set up an account (853-883-395) at Chase Bank for those who want to help.
