Seattle Crab Co.   206-366-9225     1000 NE Northgate Way, Seattle   Northgate It’s a curious habit we humans have of creating things in our image (you know, dogs in sweaters) and here’s another example. Hanging on the walls are crab shells with faces painted on them, some with hair attached. Kind of cute, yet a little worrisome. The next biggest worry is what to eat--the decision is not easy.
