The northwest isn't really known for it's BBQ but I've found a BBQ joint I really like so I figure I'd pass it along for anyone in the area.
The place is called Cedar River Smokehouse and it is in Renton near the intersection of Wells and S 3rd. Here's their site:

My favorites are their pork and (believe it or not) their smoked turkey. Their ribs and chicken are solid and they have a very nice hotlink. Their brisket is only ok (which is a bit ironic because they advertise themselves as "Texas Style BBQ"). They also have a great sauce (it's more or less a KC style sauce) available in 3 heat levels served on the side and a great selection of sides (I love their cole slaw).
So if you're in the south end of Eastside, give the place a try.
