I plan to grow tomatoes in pots on my apartment deck in Seattle this summer. What's a good variety?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Stupice and Sweet 100's will be your best bet, but be sure to plant them in 5 gallon pots or larger to allow space for the root structure.
If you want a dwarf, try a Red Robin or Tumbler Hybrid. The tomatoes will be close to the same size, just the plant itself will be smaller.
I've also included a few links for you about Seattle specific tomatoes about problems and solutions you may face.
