I am a big fan of the old Rick's and sadly to date I have not found a decent replacement. That said, Deja Vu Lake Forest Park is by far the best club in the Seattle area in terms of overall quality. The downtown Deja Vu can be ghetto (girls and clientele) and while the SoDo Deja Vu is good, it can often be crowded and the dancers can be slightly more pushy. I have been consistently impressed by the quantity and quality of the girls at Lake Forest Park. The club itself is pretty typical of a WA Deja Vu, clean, no alcohol, $20 cover, one main stage and a single back up stage (hardly used). They have private booths in the back that don't offer too much privacy but they do have two curtained off VIP areas (each with their own mini stage w/ pole club chair and small sofa).

Typically around 10 to 20 dancers, with a variety of white, asian, and a few latina and black dancers. The quality of the girls definitely seems to have the more classy dancers when compared to other clubs in the area and generally will have at least a couple 10s during evening shifts. Pleasantly surprised that most dancers there were pretty relaxed and were not pushy at all. Dances themselves range widely based on the dancer. Most offer some light touching upstairs and an occasional peak downstairs in the private booths in back. Only been to the VIP section with one dancer but would say it was worth it, much more hands on but YMMV.

Overall the place is pretty above board but most places are post the old Rick's closing. If you are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere with some of Seattle's hottest dancers this is your place. Those looking for thug baby mammas, or like the old ladies with the c-section scars will be disappointed. Constancy of having a quality lineup is what keeps me coming back.
