We met with Petra Heußner-Walker for a German passport matter and she was extremely kind and…read moreprofessional. We called her number to set an appointment. She called us back on the same day and set an appointment for us (which was about two weeks later). Her meeting location was a nice location, easy to find in Kirkland. The appointment started on time and lasted about 20 minutes. Petra and her coworker were very kind, efficient and took absolute care of us. When we left, she gave us a few things for our children (flags, books). She also gave us a list of education resources for our children (as it turns out, there is an after school program for our children in Bellevue) that would be great for our children. If you are a German citizen in the Seattle area, save yourself a trip to the consulate in San Francisco.

Their events are often held at Chateau St. Michelle, and as such, the catered food and wine are excellent. That alone brings this up from the two stars I would normally give groups like this! The Chamber has some clout with the city and that can also help small businesses who need help with sign ordinances or other issues along those lines. Would be deadly boring if you didn't run a small business in Woodinville, though.

I am a group travel leader who has depended on Cambodia's Seattle Consulate for two years. I've…read morelearned that the honorable Consular Huoth is an agreeable person who has operated this small office for over a decade. He personally answers his phone and processes visas. In the weeks before the busy winter tourist season, the normally quick turn around for visas becomes backlogged and is made worse when people phone daily due to their anxiety. In my experience, people will be happier and the process will work better with a bit of patience. Phone calls will not cause things to go faster. Consular Huoth has been doing this for years and can be trusted.

This statue pays tribute to the legend or ICON named JP Patches and his morning creation. I only wish a Boris S Wort " Second Meanest Man in The World" statute was erected close by cause he was an awesome Super Villain of Seattle. Gertrude which was JP's sidekick / girlfriend and telephone operator is on the other side of the statue. For those who grew up in Seattle and weee Patches Pals we all know what an inspiration JP PATCHES was to the community. His philanthropic charity's lived on even after the show eneded in the 80's. You could see him at many Seattle events including the Seafair Parade on occasion or even a birthday party for a fee. This statue is a must for all fans to pay respect to and get one last photo with a Seattle Icon. They don't make people like this anymore and I'm proud to still be a patches pal. Thanks JP you were the best and whomever created the statue you're amazing.

Seattle's Favorite Clown [Seattle WA]…read more Just across the street from the Berlin Wall marker is this larger than life 6-ft tall bronze sculpture of JP Patches and his girlfriend, Gertrude... their arms hooked while pulling each other in opposite directions. The statue is in an open space located in a Fremont neighborhood in Seattle. The official name of the statue is "Late for the Interurban." The statues were created with great detail. It even has hooks on J.P. Patches' famous button-filled jacket so visitors can hang buttons on it. I've not seen a single button placed on the hooks, though, so if you come and visit leave a button on the jacket. ツ It also includes an ICU2TV set (prop used on the program to make it look like the characters were watching you back) The show characters were played by Chris Wedes (Patches) and Bob Newman (Gertrude).

They let students touch everything: the truck, fire hose, lights, mask, helmet, boots, air tank, pike pole. We went through the fire truck and students were respected as preschoolers, who are inquisitive and learn through their bodies. David and Annie talked to our students like real people, not drill sergeants, making them stand in a line, be quiet or keep their hands behind their backs. The first question Fire Fighter David had was, "How old are your students?" He and Annie also answered questions by looking at the student who asked it. They showed us the dining room, desks, locker room and where all of the uniforms are kept. When Annie put on her uniform, they talked about how "cool" it was instead of talking about how scary it is. They seem to really understand small kids and what they will understand. We'll go back next year!
