Gorgeous new place on the block!!…read more Stunning new event space right in south lake union/ downtown with sweeping lake union views. Views alone were worth a trip or 4!! Came for the opening of this shiny new spot yesterday. A gorgeous 3,000 square foot event space that was completely remodeled: with in house catering, vendors, event planners, photo booths, musician! And the food. It was like going to a super fun wedding minus the formality of it. The owner was there as well: super passionate and shared the story of how she bought this space sight unseen: took a long process in turning this into a gorgeous space that it is now. It was super cool! And the food!! They allow outside catering too but the in-house catering: Kaspar catering : baos topped with micro greens and mint. Steamed to serve! Poke rolls :delicious! Panna cotta : in a cup! Lisa Dupar catering: this one was fantastic as I've had a chance to taste their food in the past at a wedding. The gorgeous cupcakes, macarons, molasses cookies and stunning cake. All were so pretty! Mark ryan wine! I mean, what's not to love as it's one of the wineries I frequent in Woodinville wine country. My pup baci's favorite too. Luxe Photo Booth: this one was so fun! The 360 Photo Booth!! I've seen them in Time Squares recently as well as at a valentines event. But this one was so much more fun as I didn't have to wait in line or fight the crowd for it. The person that was running it was super friendly and helpful too. The jazz musician was pretty rad too. And they had valet!! Butler Valet: All the friendly guys in uniform waiting for you as you arrived during rush hour in downtown: pretty darn cool. All events should be this cool. I'm only going to events with valet from now on! Ok thanks. Overall, this was such a fun place.I came to check out the space: left with all the food and fun.The space, the team, the design, the music!! And that Photo Booth: all are essential part of throwing an epic event. All events should be this fun!! I guess they will be if you throw them here: weddings, birthdays, corporate events, sweet 16th. I wouldn't mind coming here for a photoshoot: hello contents!!Or just a fun anything event.Did I mention the views?? Ahh the possibilities!!!

We had the most wonderful experience having our wedding at Cathedral Ballard! The space was…read moreincredibly bright due to the huge windows, the exposed brick was lovely, and the candles were stunning. This venue is exceptional for so many reasons: not only is it a non-profit venue, but they light over 100 candles for your event and provide so many things that you would typically need to rent at other venues (chairs, tables, glassware, etc.). Also there are so many things for your guests to do in downtown Ballard if your wedding is mainly out-of-town guests like ours was. Nate and the team were so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to spend our special day at Cathedral Ballard - it was truly so special!!! :)

Came here for an event being thrown by a local business - Papa Chango for their anniversary…read more Cathedral is an event space so you can have wedding receptions, local art showing, VIP party and more. There is a ground level and an upstairs. Upon coming in staff greeted us and informed us of the going-Ons upstairs. There were 3 bartenders all of whom were very nice. Lots of seating and small music and dancing area. The food was self-serve, buffet style, catered La Cabana. The salsa and guac were good and was nicely laid out. Cathedral donates much of the earnings made from the use of the space and are also known for their candles which I've received as a gift and can say are nicely scented and benefit causes. So, if you see one in a local shop or otherwise it makes a good gift. Not sure they sell them at this actual location of Cathedral though. If you 're looking to host an event or know someone who wants to, Cathedral has a decent space to be rented out with nice staff who will help manage it.

This was a fabulous venue for my birthday! I had so much fun using this space to host my friends…read morefor my birthday party and was able to use this space well to have party games, watch a movie on the projector, and host a potluck! The communication between the coordinators was smooth and timely! I was able to nail down the details quickly because of their fast and professional communication with me! I was also very thankful someone was on site to help me set up the projector especially since I was not able to check out this space ahead of time! Highly recommend to all who are throwing a party! What a great space to be in :)

What a convenient location and cool space for everything!…read more A large building, taking up nearly a block in the University District's north end offering classes, concerts, office spaces and more. Located immediately adjacent to the Saturday farmer's market, it can offer a space for warmth on winter days, and presumably a cool place in the shade on hot, summer afternoons. Staff are friendly and hospitable - when located.

Ice Box Arcade is the cool cat in the neighborhood! It's always fun to feel like a kid again in a…read morebusiness establishment filled with nostalgic gaming relics of my youth that still work pretty well (minus the control stick on Ms. PacMan that was challenging to control). They have air hockey and a decent selection of video games and pinball. I suggest bringing cash to exchange for quarters on the change machines that are there. There is an ATM machine that takes a physical credit/debit card to withdraw cash to exchange for quarters but I'm guessing they'll charge a fee. Check their open hours online. In general, all ages are welcome until 8pm. Beer, cider, non-alcoholic drinks are available and a few other goodies. Including 2 groovy bathrooms on site that are of course covered with stickers. Such a super cool and fun place! I think you'll get a kick out of it, too.

What a fun place to spend a few hours! Great selection of games and pinball. Excellent snacks,…read moredrinks, and even some super cute crafts. Went to visit with friends and three boys and we all had a blast. Very relaxed environment to hang out in. Didn't feel rushed or cramped and the employee was super chill. It looks like they have some fun Friday night events and work to create inclusive community. A+! Would love to come back soon.

Very nice hotel. Clean, smells good, easy to park. This hotel is pretty close to everything. Room…read morewas nice, clean and spacious. Didn't hear the train at all and our room was close to it. Breakfast was decent, your typical buffet breakfast at hotels. I will say parking is expensive $30 per day adds up Also the food/drinks in lobby are a bit overpriced. Other than that, great place stay. Staff was nice and accommodating.

Clean and comfortable, which are the first two things I look for in a hotel. Parking was easy in…read morethe garage across the street, although signage could certainly be better. Staff was helpful and efficient, as they typically are with Marriott properties. I was a bit concerned about noise due to proximity to I-5 and the light rail, but we ended up on the opposite side of the hotel and didn't hear a thing from outside. We did hear a barking dog that someone left in their room, someone's noisy kids at 6AM, and the doors slam pretty firmly. Not docking points for that, but just be aware - it's a hotel, there's noise...and the noise inside is worse than outside. Two things keep them from that 5th star: - the $30 fee for parking. Pretty sure this exists for some combination of "because we can" and "everyone else does it." Neither of which I find compelling. There was no shortage of available parking, so this irks me a bit. - the breakfast. I understand that it's free, but in this case you get what you pay for. Probably the worst breakfast I've seen at a Marriott, and outdone by several at lesser hotels. All of the "hot" food offerings were room temperature. The biscuit sandwiches had dried out tops and soggy bottoms. Oh, and I was there at around 8, so it's not like I was in the waning minutes of service. One of the cereal bins didn't work. The toaster was able to warm my English muffin slightly, but didn't actually toast it. There only seemed to be one harried staff member managing the breakfast - although at one point a maintenance person was apparently drafted to bring plates and bowls. There was also apparently only one bus cart, which would periodically disappear and then people stacked their plates on top of the trash can. At one point this leaning tower shifted and dumped what I think was yogurt on a little boy nearby - something that would have made me significantly more upset if it was my kid. Poorly resourced would be a fair description overall. Bottom line - the hotel gets 4 stars, the breakfast gets 2.

Beautiful club! The setting overlooking the lake and the mountains is absolutely stunning,…read moreespecially on a clear summer evening. Bonus points if you make it for sunset. I've only been here to play tennis as a guest. The four courts are very well-maintained, with no unevenness on the playing surface. There are overhead lights to enable playing well into the night. I also appreciated having a water cooler right on the courts to save time when refilling water. I appreciated that the club did not have draconian policies about signing in/monitoring guests. I was able to just park in the lot and walk down the hill to meet a member by the tennis courts. No sign-in, nothing. Very convenient!

There are plenty of cars and play areas with big blocks and little play stands and areas for all ages, from first starting to sit up to toddling to enjoy. He really enjoyed watching the other kids and crawling around, discovering neat things to play with. It is a huge space in the community center with a nicely sized parking lot. I don't put my son in day care so it is great to have convenient, indoor, free spaces like this in Seattle. Highly recommended for parents to little ones!

My daughter was not welcomed at the ballet dancing class for 5-7 years old. There were no music, no…read moreinstructor's smile or friendliness although my daughter stepped into the class and we were waiting there inside the class more than 5 minutes looking at them starting the class as if we were invisible. My daughter was too shy and scared to go to the instructor's place because even tho we were only several steps away from her, she ignored us. I could not change another class for her because I was told that it is considered refund and they could not refund me anything. But I would not dare to take my daughter to that cold class again to "try" as the front desk staff recommended us to do it. Perhaps some sort of racism, but it's fine, keep going your way.
