“The puppy yoga class was so fun and well-run! There were so many puppies from a few litters running around and making friends with everyone. The staff encouraged the puppies to move around the room so you had a chance to meet all of them!
The puppies are clearly happy, well-cared for and set up with for a great start to life with good socialization. They live with foster families, offering them lots of love and personalized attention.
The instructor led us through gentle yoga with thoughtful cues to adjust the poses to your body.
The facility and mats were kept remarkably clean, and any messes (and of course puppies will make them) were cleaned up at lightning speed.”
“Having recently moved to Seattle I tried a bunch of boxing gyms and am so glad to have found my home at Nomad. All the coaches make you feel incredibly welcome, help you no matter what level you're at and encourage you to do better. The regular classes are a great workout and a good use of an hour. I don't do any sparring but that whole group seem like such a tight knit family and makes the space even more of a vibe.”
“I volunteered here last week and had a good time. Food Lifeline is an amazing organization that has and is continuing to make a huge impact on the surrounding community. Volunteering here was a fulfilling experience, and the staff and fellow volunteers were super nice and helpful. The food bank’s operation is super organized which made it easier as a volunteer. Will definitely be back to volunteer and I would encourage others to do the same!”
“The staff was super friendly and helpful! Interesting history behind the taxidermy birds. They have educational kits you can borrow for outreach or homeschool programs. There is also a gift shop. Parking on the street in front from 10-3 or paid parking across the street in the mall parking garage.”
“The theater is beautiful. The acoustics above average and the ushers are super friendly. Seats in need of an upgrade soon, which they are planning to do. Dance performances amd musicals are the best here as every seat is a great seat. Music concerts are also fun here.”
“This is a converted Nunnery and has a myriad of businesses and rental space. Walk the expansive grounds; it includes a p-patch, an orchard & Seattle Tilth Alliance Garden. The chapel is closed to the public but quite spectacular.”
“It is my child’s first experience being in a school setting and he absolutely loves it here. The class size is small and the teachers are wonderful. Love that the school is secured! Would very much recommend for daycare or preschool.”
“This place is amazing– such a valuable spot for the community, so cool to have at an affordable price, and so lucky to have from a sustainability standpoint! They were awesome and made the experience so seamless.”
“I love it! I try to spread the word to get “more young people” at the Eagles but I’m over 40 so maybe I don’t count as a “young” person 😂 my friends and I love the pull tabs, the cheap drinks and meeting other members. It’s fantastic! Hopefully someday soon I can get involved with some volunteer opportunities as that’s why I initially joined . Very happy to be an Eagles member !”
“Having our 11th-grade daughter took the aptitude test at Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation Seattle branch was an incredible investment—possibly the best we’ve made as parents. Doug Hastings the director was exceptionally insightful, taking the time to explain the test results thoroughly and clearly. The process gave us a deeper understanding of our daughter’s natural strengths and aptitudes, which has already proven invaluable. I’ve recommended this test to several friends and plan to bring our son for testing in a couple of years when he’s ready. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking for meaningful insights into their child’s potential!”
“I highly recommend a visit to this historical site. This language school served as a temporary housing for 14 years to Japanese Americans who returned from the concentration camps. You can learn more about it in the exhibit Hunt Hotel on the first floor.
Also check out the cool resale shop, full of beautiful Japanese artisal stuff donated to the museum. (Note the early closing hours) and the bookshelves outside the shop (all free used books in Japanese language).”
“Open and serve dinner at 8pm. They make the best dinners they can from the donations they get. If you're a picky eater go elsewhere. They have a small shelter that is usually full- have a back up plan for the night.”
“Probably the best thrift store in all of Seattle with very low prices but very high quality stuff donated by wealthy people living in that area. Their stock also rotates quickly so there's new stuff every week.”
“I love being able to use this beautiful space for our TangoStride and Tango Classes, and I so appreciate the many classes and events offered at the Phinney Center. It truly is a gem of a community space!”
“This gallery is a must stop during the Belltown Art Walk. The shows here are always creative and fresh. They often host community events and have created such a great third space in the neighborhood.”
“So thankful for this rescue. I got my dog Scooter back in 2014 from them. Unfortunately, Scooter on 5/23/25 attacked my 4 year old son over some food that fell on the floor. It was traumatic and heartbreaking to witness and I’m still in shock and processing. I always envisioned that I would be with him through end of life. I never thought I would ever be in the position but I needed to quickly re home him since he could no longer stay at home with the kids. They took Scooter back without question after almost 11 years. Although it’s the hardest thing I have ever done I am glad to know he is in good hands. I am devastated but relieved. After countless camping trips, hikes, walks, cuddles, and good times I’m sad but happy to know that he is safe back at ECPR.”
“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.”
“The staff, administrative, peer support, and doctors at Evergreen are so kind and warm. They make what can be a daunting task a friendly visit. If you want a soft landing from a difficult place, the people here can offer a perspective of support in healthy recovering.”
“Love st Francis house they help so much rather its for me or my baby they give out clothes food, diapers and wipes and not just little packs whole packs with 50-100+ diapers inside they are fast paste and super kind I recommend anybody needing help or just needing help to stay stable or wven just cause u cant make it this month go there they have alot of options and can always point u in the right direction if they dont have what u need 🧡🧡 forever grateful”
“I can't say enough good things about Queen Anne Helpline. Their unwavering commitment to preventing homelessness and ensuring access to basic needs for everyone is truly inspiring. The organization provides critical support to individuals, elderly folks, and families in need, and it's clear that they go above and beyond to make a real difference in our community.
What really stands out is how they’ve mobilized volunteers from all walks of life, as well as partnerships with local grocery stores and businesses, to ensure that no one is left behind. Their efforts are making a significant, positive impact on the lives of so many, and it’s heartwarming to see how the entire neighborhood has come together to support this cause.
The team is dedicated, compassionate, and truly working to build a stronger, more supportive community for all. I’m proud to support QA Helpline and I encourage anyone looking to give back to check them out. They are making a lasting difference!”
“This is an incredible organization. The have a dedicated volunteers that works to get clothes, baby items (diaoers, cribs formula etc.)to over 20k low-income familes.”
“I really wish that everybody could understand the necessity and need that these people provide for those going through desperate times such as myself... Once I get on my feet I plan on paying it all back and then some, great people and a good cause”
“The West Seattle Chamber is an invaluable asset for any small business in West Seattle. The support you get from Rachel and her staff is second to none. They've really helped me grow my business - that membership is well worth it.”
“The salvation army is like my family. They treat you like family and include you in everything. As a kid in the salvation army it is the safest place for kids?”
“My home in 2012 and 2013 when I had no place to go home. I got shelter, food, clothing, computer access, resume building, sisterhood bonds, bus vouchers, and valuable life lessons that I will never forget.”
“The entire staff makes coming here a wonderful experience. Everyone working here is friendly, thoughtful, and very helpful at making your donation time a safe and comfortable one.”
“It’s usually fantastic, staffed and volunteered by wonderful people who treat everyone with kindness, respect, and dignity. For real, they are beautiful souls. However, today there was someone working there I’d never seen before - an older lady with glasses, a baseball cap, and a limp - and she was so rude. Yelling at the entire line bc more than 10 people went inside at once (tho we had no instruction or clue this was the policy); and yelling at an Asian woman looking at some free bunches of flowers to choose from, “I don’t have time for this!” and when the same smiling Asian woman asked a question in her native language, the worker woman replied, “I speak English!” Horrible and not representative of the rest of the staff and volunteers.”
“The foodbank and the staff are awesome I am new to Washington and struggling, I never judge and I have a lot of patience. Besides a few misguided individuals that forgot about basic manners and common courtesy the place provides a way to avoid hunger. Thank you for your services and see you when I get there, I'm on my way.”
“My own tool broke and I'm thought to this the perfect opportunity to try out the library.
The tool they had was exactly right. I had 6 or 7 to choose from and it ran just exactly as needed.
I will definitely be back!”
