A must - what an experience! Forging red hot metals and hammering it to form art - who knew it…read morecould be so much fun?! My son gives it a million thumbs up. In the middle of the class he comes up to me - all serious and said "this is so much fun" - but really serious. lol :) We took the beginner class Paul offers once a month on Saturdays. 8am-5pm - bring a sack lunch. He starts off with a tour of his amazing workshop - he's been doing this for 35 years and makes AMAZING stuff. I didn't even know you could do so much with metal - from making functional tools, to beautiful and super detailed works of art! He gives a brief history of blacksmithing, and then a 1 minute scare on the dangers involved. It's really not as bad as it seems. Just follow the safety directions and there's no problem at all. It's really very safe unless you're messing around. We started with an ordinary bolt and hammered the head into a nice design, something you'd see in a fancy hardware store - and we made it ourselves and it was easy! We moved on from there to forming a fancy hook. I have a bum arm so Paul helped me with the hammering and i did what I could. Lastly we made shepherd's knives which are really beautiful - sort of ancient looking, and in fact, these are exactly the same types of knives people forged hundreds of years ago. This was probably the most exciting class my son has ever taken. I had an amazing time as well, even with my bad arm and not being able to do the hard hammering. I was able to do some small side projects that my arm could handle while the others were working on their knives. Paul was very accommodating that way. There were 4 students in the class. He takes up to 6 people, and everyone is working on their own pieces. I highly recommend this class. It would make the BEST present for any boy, any age, and actually any girl or woman as well! Paul told us that of the people in the U.S. that do this professionally, a large percentage are women! :) Sorry for the long-winded review, but the class was THAT amazing! :)

Unless you're traveling with your own internet connections the best place to get service here is at or parking sites right near the lodge. The further away you are from it, without a good carrier, there is a very weak connection. I always check restrooms for neatness and clean aesthetic (just my particular pet peeve), here is not the most eye friendly but very clean. They sell breakfasts on the weekends $13-20ish and have a general store on site. During our visit laundry room was not accessible due to structural issues so we had to go into town, not sure how we felt about that since part of our membership is having this service at our promised locations. We were here before, during, and immediately after the Memorial Day weekend. It was not so disturbing or disruptive as to be uncomfortable; always a plus! For the scenery and nature of it, well worth the visit.

If you had a bad experience with La conner Thousand Trails…read more Please contact me @ cherrysmoked@yahoo.com or 425 308 5310 Salesman "Ian Speerling the Wanna be Cop", in my opinion and Manager Kelly King who told me she is a "BAD ASS" 3 times, over-reacted to a simple mistake and I have witnessed many members do the same thing and caused a seriously dangerous situation and I had Heart Surgery Sept 30, 2025. I have been staying at TT La conner for 2 years as I build my new home in La Conner and my brother John died there in my motorhome at site 133 on Jan. 20, 2025. I have made many friends with the staff and many of the full-time residents have never had a problem until this horrible treatment. I had just checked in and was trying to find site 300 and I had no idea of how to get there in my 33' motorhome flat towing a car with a Road Master Tow Bar and of course it is common knowledge that if backed up without unhooking the car, serious damage can occur to the car, tow bar and motorhome that I had just filled the gas tank with 80 gallons of gasoline. This is very serious as the same model motor home (Bounder) had recently caught fire here and it was destroyed. This guy with a big belly and in a beat up old looking little car and DID NOT have any TT clothing and I had never seen him before this, blocked my motorhome started chasing me thru the park, until I stopped in front of my friend's sites and I got out to check this strangers TT ID only to find out he did not have any! He then got out of his car and went crazy in front of my new rear camera with color and sound and said "I am getting in your face and you are being kicked out of the park, leave now, go get out, go now leave and kept repeating this aggressive and threating behavior that escalated the situation putting his finger way to close to my face and escalating the situation that was witnessed by many other people and it appeared that he had a young girl in the car. I thought I was having a heart attack, seriously, I then drove swiftly to the Ranger Staton to report this person for enforcing TT rules and not being an employee per TT rules. Upon arriving at the Ranger Station my motorhome was surrounded by my friends and TT employees in golf carts and the guy in the car and then they all huddled around his car, and I watched and heard them on my rear cam getting their story straight with the "Bad Ass" (her words) manager Kelly King, I was shocked by this protocol due to my previous experience. Officer Hockenberry from Swinomish P.D. arrived at the scene and stated that guy that was harassing me did work there and that it was just a misunderstanding and it was my choice I could stay at the park or leave, I was so upset and disgusted that I decided to leave and seek medical help. I had Heart Surgery Sept 30, 2025, at Everett Providence Cardiac Surgery Center by Dr Sharma at the cost of $100,000. The next day while recovering in my MH at this park I was surprised by my friend a TT employee parked his golf cart and served me the unsigned notice that I was kicked out for 60 days with Kelly Kings name at the bottom but No signature, which does not appear to be legal in Washington State, in my opinion. Kelly was very devious 6 times when I requested the name and employee status of this vicious guy with the big belly so I could file a complaint and most likely legal action. The next evening a Red Corvette was going the wrong way at high rate of speed and parked at the lodge and jumped in a white car that left at a high rate of speed going the wrong way. Then my friend Officer Hockenberry came in hot pursuit of the Corvette stating he clocked it 80 mph on Snee Oosh near the Fire Station, how did this happen with a locked gate? I have recorded 8 vehicles going the wrong way and several exceeding the 5-mph speed limit, minors driving cars alone. In my observation, Kelly should focus on the many current problems and not be persuaded by an insecure salesman trying to play the "Ego driven, Big Man Wanna be Cop" in my observation and opinion. I have talked to my friends who are legality employed by TT and always have easily identifiable TT logo clothing and TT trucks or golf carts none of them thought this over reaction was not justified.

Reasons I was forced to be removed from our lease with the Joseph group to find appropriate housing…read morethat provides everything included in the lease: -Catching the Joseph Groups's yard maintenance people spraying our garden with toxic pesticides -Getting sick from ingesting the toxic pesticides that were sprayed on our garden by the Joseph Group's yard maintenance team -Catching the Joseph Group' yard macitence team inappropriately looking through our windows on several occasions -Catching the Joseph Groups yard maintenance team stealing water from our unit (filling up very large / several gallon containers from our hose) We pay for our water utility bill & never consented to them stealing hundreds of gallons of water from us that we had to pay for! -The Joseph Group refusing to paint us parking lines aside from hundreds of issues and requests. -The Joseph Group allowing several macitence vehicles to block our designated parking spots/ steal our parking/ cause damage to our vehicles on several occasions -The neighbor causing damage to our vehicles on several occasions -Being consistently disrespected & threatened by the neighbor -Having to make several noise complaints against a the neighbor -The Joseph Group refusing to fix the leak in neighbor's unit property or in a timely manner forcing us for pay for the leaking water -Mold in the unit not being treated properly due to negligence of the Joseph Group -roommate's service dog loosing his hearing/ developing severe asthma due to the mold in the unit & the medication he's been put on as a result. -The Joseph Group refusing to put us on our own utility meter aside from us getting extremely overcharged due to neighbors behavior/ unit damage. -Telling the Joseph Group that our home was broken into/ our window needed repare only to have them respond very poorly and with no urgency (we had a cutting board blocking the broken window while we waited to get help) -Consistently requesting a new front door and expressing the safety concerns regarding this; being ignored by the Joseph Group -Having the neighbor & plumbers attempt to break & enter my home -Having the Joseph group continuously threatening breaking & entering our unit aside from them knowing the reason we need to schedule an appointment is because we have animals & someone needs to be home if there are strangers in the unit. We have shown that we are more than willing to schedule times and be accommodating however we have only been blown off, disrespected and not communicated to. -Having MY HAIR RUINED by the Joseph Group due to negligence & failure to provide appropriate notice of water shut off. -Constantly being ignored and disrespected by the Joseph Group aside from reaching out/ asking for help with every single situation several times. The main reason we chose to rent this unit is because both myself & my roomate are handicapped and need access to reliable parking. We wanted to ensure that our vehicles would be close, safe & never blocked in/ have any issues with our accessibility. Aside from having designated parking included in our lease with the Joseph Group; they have failed to provide us with the safe, accessible parking we signed up & pay to have. Both my roomate and I have had damage occur to our vehicles on several occasions. We have been blocked in on several occasions- this has started to negatively impact our lives. Again - My vehicle is blocked in by macitence people for the Joseph Group... Due to them blocking me in, I missed my chiropractor appointment that I will still be charged for... I was recently in a car accident & these appointments are critical to my health and recovery. I am literally better off risking parking my vehicle out on the road to ensure I can function in my daily life/ not be blocked in. Unfortunately after today I need to start to look for more appropriate housing that provides everything included in my lease along with having property management who isn't negligent of their tenants. This unit is amazing & I have absolutely loved living here aside from my experiences regarding the Joseph group property management team. My experiences with the Joseph group have honestly been rather traumatic & caused a decent amount of damage to my personal life that I'm going to be dealing with/ remembering for the rest of my life. The Joseph group has refused to put me I direct contact with the owner/ won't allow me to file a formal complaint against them. Don't move into a unit with these people!

I was looking for a rental home. After touring the property I spoke with a representative who…read moreconfirmed I was the only one expressing interest, so I proceeded to submit an application and work with the credit/application specialist, Brian Seutz. Brian is not someone I would want to work with again. About an hour after I spoke with the first rep, Brian advised that there were "multiple applications" in for the property. After convincing me to still proceed with the application, he made it clear on multiple occasions that he would proceed with the better qualified applicant. This was stressed after I already spent $100+ on application, credit and pet fees, based on both representatives' recommendation. Ultimately I was rejected due to a "late" rent payment. I asked Brian to review because I had supporting documentation confirming on-time payments, but he responded with "Another applicant has already been approved". This was all in an hour??? I found the whole process to be a scam to make money off application/credit fees. Fortunately, since I met the strict requirements to rent from this company, I was able to proceed with a home purchase. Potential renters looking for long term housing, and that meet this company's rental requirements, should consider purchasing instead.
