We hope our daughter continues to take gymnastics at Gym Star for years to come.

Large classes but the gym is also good sized so plenty of room. Highly recommend checking them out!! Oh and easy parking too!

Long overdue review…read more Just a quick background about myself. My experience with road riding is as beginner as they get; I knew nothing about cycling, but being in my early 30's I did know that I wanted to put some miles on my recent road bike purchase, and get back into fitness. I found Matt (and Encina bikes) through the power of the internet, and I am glad I did. I was bit wary about spending so much on a bike fit, but I decided to go ahead and do it since I wasn't so comfortable in my bike and I figured I can't put a price tag on my comfort especially since I am looking to put on some more miles. I got a basic fit from the site as I am just a beginner and I thought this was a good place to start. Matt and the guys at Encina are pretty nice; I was a bit intimidated before I came since I am a newb, but they were all pretty nice and that all went away fairly quickly. The bike fit experience was great, and I might even say it was fun. I think it took about an hour and a half, and I learned tons about cycling and certain technical aspects about it. Also, Matt never pushed any products on me, he did make a suggestion that my cranks may be a wee bit off on length, but he said that the excess motion that I am exhibiting might just be due to the fact that I am new at riding and that I should just wait and get more experience under my belt before we do anything else. The saddle was replaced, since the original that came with my back was definitely uncomfortable and the measuring tool for your butt showed that my current saddle was too narrow. I would definitely see Matt again if I purchase another bike. The fit was back in September, I have been very busy with school and work, combined with a sprained ankle in between then to when this review was broken, but I managed to put in about 500 miles in a few weeks. It's very comfortable, and I have no complaints. I highly recommend Matt and any Encina bicycle shop.

The process was extremely detail oriented and Matt was very patient with us as we asked tons of questions. He was very knowledgeable and gave clear explanations regarding the adjustments he made. The 3-D technology even uncovered an issue I didn't know I had. I feel really good about the results and look forward to getting on the road with this setup . I highly recommended Matt and will definitely use him again - assuming he comes back from Washington.

I was there recently for a rained out game vs. the epically-named Walla Walla Sweets, and even though the game never even got started we still had a great time! I've also attended many fun (and sunny) games in the past, usually on $2 Tuesday when you can buy a second ticket for just (you guessed it) two smackeroos. One of the least mentioned things about attending a Bells game is that they seriously have the most impressive tap list I've ever seen at a sporting event. Yeah, there's a guy selling the cheap stuff too - but just past him you'll find taps (and cans) of many classic local and regional brews. When's the last time you saw Iron Horse Brewery's Irish Death on tap at T-Mobile Park in Seattle? I'm just sayin'. By the way, even though our game against the very entertaining Sweets was rained out I'll still go again - because I can use my "rained out" ticket stub at a future game to get in free. How cool is that? Go Bells!

General admission does include grassy area and bleacher seating along the first and third bases. VIP seating includes waiter service. Seating areas can be reserved for private groups and will be marked appropriately. If you plan on attending $2 Tuesday, consider coming a little early. Tickets do occasionally sell out. Be considerate of neighbors when parking. Nobody likes to come home and be unable to park. Also, mind parking laws. Parking on crosswalks, in front of mailboxes, and very close to STOP signs really isn't a good idea. If you buy the wrong size apparel from the team store, they will allow you to exchange sizes. No returns. Prices are a little high; items are good quality. Some of the concession stand food is lacking. Don't waste money on the veggie burger. For $7, burger only, it actually really is quite pitiful. $2 Tuesday concession items for $2 include a hotdog, nachos, large fountain pop, and select beer.

The race starts at the Bellingham High School on Cornwall Avenue and snakes through the Lettered neighborhood. The school band performs at the start line and gets everyone jazzed up as they pick up their race packets. Along the course, there are usually cheerleaders and people holding fun signs of encouragement. You can register online as an individual or as a team for this event. Those raising additional money for the Arthritis Foundation can win prizes for reaching certain fundraising levels. In 2014, I managed to score some fun, candy stripped, knee-high, wool socks for my efforts. If you don't want to run, you can walk. If you don't want to walk, you can donate on behalf of an individual or team who is participating. It is a great non-profit to support, and the Arthritis Foundation makes it easy for everyone to get involved and educated about the cause. FYI, it is worth going to the pre-packet pickup event held several days before the race. It is an event in itself. In 2015, the pre-packet pickup was held at Wilson Motors. Kulshan Brewery was handing out sparkling cider and beer on tap. You could enjoy bratwurst or pork tenderloin. The kids can get photos with Santa and his elves or take a horse carriage around the lot. The best part....all of this fun was provided free!
