Visited this Washington Department of Licensing location to register a new vehicle we recently…read morepurchased. We made the mistake of choosing to let an Oregon car dealership process our WA state licensing paperwork thinking it would be easier. We quickly learned our lesson and will opt to take care of it ourselves next time. A check was overnighted to us from the OR dealership, made out to WA DOL with instructions to bring it to a specific licensing location near our home. As we all know, any kind of DMV office is no picnic. We arrived at this licensing office, took a number, and waited an hour before being called. The lady that helped us was super nice and friendly. I wish I would have gotten her name. Anyhow, after entering all the pertinent information into her computer, she realized the dealership had made the check out for the incorrect amount. It was about $300 too much. Ugh, we had to contacts the dealership and have another check overnighted to us. Very frustrating, especially with all the helpful calculation tools available at the WA DOL website. The lady gave us a printout of the exact amount required to register our vehicle and get license plates. She was so apologetic and helpful, even though it was totally not her fault. Once we contacted the dealership and received the new check, we returned to the same licensing office. We were fortunate enough to get the same helpful lady, which made the process quick and painless. She remembered us too, which was nice. My only gripe about this location is how long it takes to be taken care of. It seemed like the closer it got to closing, the more we noticed employees emerging from the back room to help out. Not sure why they couldn't have come out sooner, but waiting an hour seems beyond reasonable. Both times we came here our number was about 15-20 numbers behind the one currently called. We also spent over an hour here during each visit. Overall, the employees here are very knowledgeable. If you're not in a hurry, I would highly recommend this licensing office.

To my surprise, I was helped within five to ten minutes, which was impressive given how full the lobby was and that only a few staff members were assisting customers. The person who helped me was friendly, personable, and explained everything clearly. We even had a brief, pleasant chat about their dog, which made the whole experience unexpectedly enjoyable. That is not something I ever expect from a licensing office. I was there to get my Washington state registration, and the process was fast, smooth, and stress-free. Super efficient, super friendly, and genuinely a great experience. I would absolutely go back for any services they offer and highly recommend them.

Besides, the workshop I attended was free of charge. And taking public transportation, depending on where you live perhaps, can be fun in Portland. Back to the Metro Regional Center. I attended a social media workshop for marketing your own business -- in case you missed that from my pictures. Interestingly, Yelp was mentioned a number of times as far as getting more testimonials written about your business. Unfortunately, being an editor and writing coach, I am not sure my business fits the Yelp model, but now you know! And you can always shoot me a DM. Even though I had been asked to bring my own lunch -- this class being offered from 12:30 to 2:30PM -- the SBDC hosted the event with plenty of vegetarian options to snack on (yay, Greek wine leaves with rice) and the water was nice and cold. Definitely will try to attend more meetings here.

Metro, Metro, Metro...how I love you…read more I once felt overwhelmed with the thought of decreasing my day-to-day footprint on the Earth. I like to lead a healthy & low impact existence but it isn't always convenient. Sure, now we have the big blue bin that I can throw my paper, plastic bottles and cat food cans into, but where do I recycle my block styrofoam or my old computer parts for free? Where can I get some info on how to compost my food scraps at home without buying some $15 book on home composting? How about a list of DIY at-home green cleaners made with ingredients from my local Freddy's? And then, there was Metro. Not only does Metro have free pamphlets on all of this info plus more, you can also get all of the info off of their website at: http://www.metro-region.org/ and save trees (if your a hippie like me and can't help but consider those lovely trees) They have info on: - nature & local GreenScene activities - garbage & recycling - sustainable living - getting around Portland w/o a car - planning & conservation For those of you with families out there they have "Story & a stroll at Tryon Creek" geared towards kids in nature. If you are a novice green-thumb like me in the spring/summer they offer FREE classes on natural gardening. Or even if you don't recycle at all, but your neighbor asks you what they can do with their old car tires, you can give them Metro's recycling # 503-243-3000, and you have just done your good deed for the day. Overall Metro gives me good balance. I can be lazy, yet proactive. I let them gather the info and then I take advantage of it. Thanks for doing the legwork Metro, now I can feel better about myself! ; )
