“We always have a great time when we stop by! I've brought my own kids, met up with various groups of friends here, and it's a blast, rain or shine. We've only gone on weekdays, but have never found it crowded at all. I definitely recommend purchasing the mini-buckets of produce: my kids' favorite part of our visits is feeding the animals. In the past, you could bring produce, but for the safety of the animals, guests can no longer do so.”

“What a great organization. This is a WIN-WIN idea if there ever was one. Kudos to all the folks at FareStart who are every day rolling-up-their-sleeves helping others learn how to roll-up-their-sleeves. This town is far better for your work.”

“I keep thinking about all the people at Resilient Heart Sanctuary all day today. They are so kind and sweet and just amazing people. And all future parents with meet and greet today were so awesome too. I made friends with them and exchange our number. Such a good feeling especially when I met with so many unkind people lately. Make me believe in humanity again.”

“They have this process down. It's efficient use of the volunteers and they make you feel like you are contributing. This was my third time here, and I packaged lentils, dairy and frozen potatoes. After a quick briefing and getting suited up, we are in the task. You get a rhythm going and get quicker. It's more fun when you bring friends, and the time goes fast. Makes me feel like I am giving back a bit.”

“This organization is an unsung hero in the Puget Sound Region, providing invaluable services and support to individuals with disabilities.At the heart of their mission lies a three-pronged approach, deeply rooted in Spiritual connection. The Spiritual Ministry fosters unity among people, embracing the core values of life, work, play, and community engagement. By connecting friends of Bridges to the local church they serve both the individual and those they connect with.The Guardianship Agency program, the second prong of their mission, is dedicated to facilitating the integration of individuals with disabilities into the fabric of society. It's a beacon of hope, ensuring that no one is left behind.However, the largest ministry of Bridges Disability Ministries is their Meyer Medical Equipment Center, which ensures mobility equipment is accessible to all, regardless of income. From wheelchairs to walkers, electric wheelchairs to crutches and scooters, they are the lifeline for those in need. We used this ministry to serve our mom when her Medicaid failed to provide a decent wheel chair in a timeline that was within her lifetime. We are so grateful!Bridges Disability Ministries is making a profound impact. They're not just supplying medical equipment; they're supplying independence, dignity, and a brighter future for all.”

“Nice temple. Devine atmosphere prevails inside. Pujas are performed in the traditional way. Pradosha Puja also is performed here on every triyodasi. Vigrahas of many Gods and Goddesses are kept for worship. Visit as often as possible”

“What a cute place to take a walk with the family or friends. Grab a cup of coffee and take a stroll. Even tho all the plants were basically gone for the season, it was still such a fun and pretty walk. It's completely free besides during the light shows during winter which is inexpensive in itself. During this time it is so cold and the pond and tiny falls are completely frozen. Dogs are welcomed here. We even met someone with a beautiful pet turtle!!”

“I attended LWTG with both my children and had a great experience. We're sad to have aged out of the program. We loved having Teacher Kris all the years we were there. The space is full of fun activities for the kids and they change out frequently so the kids have plenty to play with, learn with, and explore. The parent education part has been very helpful for us, especially with out first. We've also made lots of great connections with other families throughout the years there. I would highly recommend!”

Craig and Bill are the two gentleman I talked to during multiple visits. It would be my go to place next time I need anything related to tools. Meanwhile they are very nice to accepted donated items to be used for a new tool library in Shoreline. all in all this place filled with care in the community and I feel like I should volunteer here too.”

“The theater itself is fantastic. They've done a gorgeous job of keeping the beautiful details intact. Previously I've sat on the first level and the sound and view has never been a problem. Wanting to see a show recently and snagging last minute tickets, I was able to compare to the absolute furthest back rows and I will say that the sound (for a musical) travelled poorly. A lot of the specific words from each line were lost by the time it reached the back. I have perfect hearing and am in my twenties, so for anyone with trouble hearing, this could have been a really negative experience. While I recognize you "get what you pay for", I did still pay a lot to go and felt frustrated how much I was missing. The other element that made the venue lose a star for me was the security staff outside that was lacking in hospitality while trying to rush everyone in on time. I understand the pressure to start the show on time but given we're all there for a good time and paid a lot, I do have an expectation of kindness or a kind tone that was missing with some. Otherwise, I'll of course be back and will get tickets earlier to ensure I'm closer to the front!”

“Probably the last piece of old Redmond left over from the 70s in the 80s and total nostalgia for those of us who remember the dinosaurs and for the younger kids who want to experience the dinosaurs FOE is the place to go. Great cooks great prices. Great kitchen, superb Parking and fantastic team spirit watching the Seahawks beat the snot out of the heathen Eagles, wonderful heated outdoor area for those of us who enjoy cigars and the lake and keeping the rain off of our heads. All kinds of entertainment from pull tabs to internal prizes and competitions it’s a great place. You really need to go there and enjoy the atmosphere. They open early and stay open late. Just the kind of thing to beat those holiday blues..”

“I have been associated with the Bellevue Clubhouse for five years now. These past five years I have had the opportunity to meet some of the kindest most genuine people I have ever met. The staff are competent and friendly and the colleagues at the clubhouse are amazing. I hope to be a part of this community for years to come.”

“My experience this time around was the organization's "Summer Beer Taste", in other words, a beer festival. Missing were a couple of breweries that I usually find has something I like. I settled on a malty red beer. The crowd is mostly made up of younger middle age folk that rarely behave badly. The outdoor area space fills up fast & the guests are better than at other festivals at letting each other pass by. Their indoor fall/winter beer festival brings out the stouts & porter beers that I prefer. A unique benefit of the center's beer and wine festivals is that they provide free, substantive snack foods to enjoy at no additional cost. Now that is thoughtful consideration!”

“Make a wish is a wonderful organization and they made the donation process very simple. The one and only hiccup was that it didn't really like my phone number and tried to keep the xxx's that it had in place while blank and then flagged as an invalid number. But that was a simple fix.”

“Great Ball fields and nice play park for kids of all ages. Clean and in very nice condition. Limited seating for games, so bring your chairs. No concessions and small restroom capacity. Parking lot can not support large tournaments, so plan ahead. Spots are tight even for small SUV. Therefore, your pickup truck or nice car you don't want dinged..uh uh.Restrooms: Very limited capacity and basic park type with cold blow dryer, no soap, possibly no TP.Dog-friendliness: Dogs not welcome inside the playfield area, but are ok in the general park area.”

“Food is available for those in need, no questions asked.Most times, they have a variety of staples, both dry (rice, beans), canned, and fresh. Some fresh vegetables are also available. They also have pre-made meals by the large coffee company that we all know.Allow yourself some extra time as there could be many people in line, but it goes fast.The staff is super friendly and approachable for the most part.Today (Sept 1st), one volunteer was making loud comments regarding a certain POC who struggled with English. That's not cool. They also seemed more interested in telling "war stories" and chatting than helping other volunteers. There's a first time for everything.”

“Attended the Matcha and Mindfulness class with instructor Bonnie and had the best experience! Her class was intimate, engaging, and was more than we could have expected. We learned about the rich history of tea and she even provided treats to pair with the drinks. I would highly recommend if you are curious about the history of matcha and learn how to make it on your own. The space was beautiful and we look forward to engaging in the work at the Japanese cultural and community center again soon!”

“Hopelink is a great way to get resources. Vey wonderful people to work with. It is a huge resource if you can get there, or find them in your city. Noticed that resources are lacking as they help a huge amount clients. So be selective, please consider what you truly need and use, as resources are spread thin right now.”

“Who would think that the Multiple would have the best print shop in the county? We tried numerous print shops for our professional brochures and flyers. None of them could get the color right and they took 2 to 3 days for turnaround. The Multiple's print shop not only has the best color and quality...they often turn it in less that 24 hrs! I couldn't be happier with them.”

“all kinds of literature for sale at cost that i didn't even know existed! something for everyone seeking recovery (from the 'mothership' of 12-step) even if you're in another 12-step fellowship. this place welcomes volunteers and occasionally holds meetings and gatherings... feels like home away from home. you just have to hang out there a bit to understand, but i'm pretty sure you'll end up glad that you did.”
