Taylor features an array of upscale local spots where you can try their Totten Virginicas or Fat Bastards, and it you're there on the right day, you might find the elusive Olympia oyster, the only variety native to Puget Sound. Also teriffic clams, and Dungeness crab. Locations in the Melrose Market between Pike and Pine, and lower Queen Anne are the closest to the conferce.
