It's a Non-profit and they're doing the best they can with their limited funding, especially in times of federal cuts. Please give to them so they can help the most needy! We make annual donations through our company match to this organization for a reason. They're truly one of the few organizations here doing the most good. I encourage everyone who has elderly or aging parents to explore Hopelink services and donate if they can.

The Edmonds Waterfront Center (EWC) located at 220 Railroad Ave in Edmonds, Washington, is a true…read moregem in the Puget Sound region. We go to the EWC regularly when we visit Edmonds. It's right on the waterfront, on a pretty stretch of beach where you can see the ferries coming in and out. Formerly the South County Senior Center, then the Edmonds Senior Center, the buildings there were rebuilt into an environmentally-sound, multi-generational and multicultural center with all kinds of classes, programs, clinics, and events. My hubs and I went to the EWC last night to see wildlife photographer and author Paul Bannick speak about his new book on woodpeckers in North America. It was a fascinating talk and slideshow in their big room on the first floor! This is just one example of the great speakers and performers that the EWC hosts all the time. They have rooms with beautiful views of the water that you can rent. Last December, we went to a memorial there for a longtime family friend and it was a great place to honor her and her legacy. When I am retired, or when I can carve out more time in my schedule, I plan on taking advantage of the many classes offered at the EWC. For now, I'll keep going to their terrific events and enjoying the wonderful view.

I was super excited to hear about this new thrift store, especially as I've noticed prices at…read moreDeseret and Goodwill are rising fast. It's a very large store, but it feels very DIY/shabby inside. Items haphazardly thrown up on found shelving, not retail shelving, or anything like that. Kind of like a vintage mall booth. The employees I interacted with were meh. Not outright rude, but not very friendly either. One of them rushed over to me from across the store to admonish me for "stepping over that line" between items for sale and items not-ready for sale. I had not touched one item in the area at all. It was weird. I didn't even realize that area was for processing, because my brain just goes into "look at everything" mode when I'm thrifting, and in 99.9% of thrift stores, the actual selling floor is not used for processing. They weren't mean about it, just had a very elevated sense of urgency that I not touch anything in that area. I apologized and they seemed to back off a little. Like I said, it was weird. I did find a couple glass decor items to purchase and their prices seemed fair. I didn't look at clothes, but shoes and bags were slim pickings the day I was in there. I might check it out again in the future, but there was nothing about it that made me feel like I wanted to come back. Kind of a bummer. Maybe after they've been open longer, they might get more of a sense of organization. In the mean time, I will continue to shop Deseret and Bella's Voice.

I completed a visit to nearby Bank of America, so decided to checkout Magpie Thrift (8/21/25)…read more It's a fairly large space having been a discount or thrift stores in the past. I wandered the entire shop, except for the clothing racks. Nicely laid out, organized, and clean. I ended honing in on a vintage Tupperware set and due to the affixed sticker color, received a great buy. Upbeat service at the checkout counter too. The joy of thrifting is finding the unexpected.

Staff at this agency use call screening devices to scan for names and telephone numbers of previous clients whom the staff have blacklisted from social services.

Wow this place is awesome. Stopped by for 'training' for their Operation Front line volunteering…read moreprogram, which teaches families, parents, kids and teens of low income families how to cook nutritious and delicious meals on a budget. What a great idea! Instead of just giving out food, each class participant gets a great lesson in cooking and nutrition, then they get to help create a meal in class AND a bag of groceries to take home with them to practice. The people at training were great - nutrition majors, foodies, chefs all mingling in a philanthropic pow wow. The training was hands on and interactive, and I really like Solid's Ground's focus on diversity, equality, respect and education as a way to help the community. Super cool place! There was a cooking class going on with a room of kids and it smelled heavenly! Look up Solid Ground's Operation Front Line if you love food and love volunteering!

Resilient Hearts is an amazing animal rescue that aims to save animals from high kill shelters!…read moreI've come in on three separate occasions, and staff are always friendly and inviting. They require you to mask up before entering, but they provide them if you don't have one on hand. There's always a couple loving dogs milling around, and I love how they allow visitors to provide socialization to these fur babies through visits/walks! Whenever I'm able to walk a dog, I take them just a short trip up the road (less than 10 min) to Gas Works Park! I love that walkers are provided with a convenient little bag packed with treats, poop bags, and a water bowl. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the dogs and it especially helps in times when i'm missing my own pups! Please stop by if you're in the Fremont area, it's a hidden gem I wish more people knew about. It's such a welcoming and loving space for animal lovers. You can also choose to foster if you wish :)
