WA · Google vs Yelp divergence

Google loves them. Seattle is less sure.

Google and Yelp ratings converted to the 0–100 scale. Δ is Google minus Yelp — the higher the number, the wider the gap between public enthusiasm and local assessment. One entry per name, so a chain's branches don't crowd the list.
