How is a line of credit different from a credit card?
In general, a line of credit is usually for a significant expense, while a credit card can be used for smaller expenses. Credit cards are easier to obtain and don’t require the paperwork a line of credit does. Both can be secured or unsecured, although credit cards that require collateral are only for people who are trying to build their credit.

Where to go for some of the most innovative (and tasty) plant-based food in the Northwest.
The days of relying on salads and veggie burgers as the only vegan options are long over. Creative restaurants with exclusively or substantially vegan menus win over diners — regardless of whether they eat meat or not — with a vast range of culinary specialties from all over the globe. Some use meat alternatives or seasonal vegetables while others find inspiration in traditional dishes from a number of cuisines. Here are some great options to explore across the state.
