    These people are so dedicated to the clients they serve. It's refreshing to know we have a local…read morenonprofit that does what they say they are going to do.

    Unfortunately about 99 percent of the people working for housing hope are incompetent, couldn't…read morecare less about the mission statement, and are far from philanthropic. They don't communicate with residents are even each other. They are constantly late for appointments if they even show up at all, they don't respond to phone calls, emails or requests. I was never informed of all the great programs, employment opportunities and classes they brag about online. If you are going to live in one of their units I would definitely suggest saving all of your rent receipts because they're constantly losing rent checks or not entering it into the computer. I was overcharged rent on three separate occasions and never credited back the amount I was owed in the computer so they tried to say that I owed rent from years prior, even when having a rent receipt from their office signed by them. They charge everyone for a mandatory "carpet cleaning" fee when they never clean the carpets or replace them. They constantly have you put different dates on paperwork when signing and they never get it right the first time. A lot of the management is very rude especially Janet rainwater. I've heard her tell people that they can go back to "living in their car" or "can be homeless again". They know that people living in housing hope units have nowhere else to go and they take advantage of that fact and abuse it. There is a rare few people working for them that do care but for the most part they're incompetent and to say management is a shit show is a great understatement.

    I received some hot tips through parenting forums that Bella's Voice was an awesome place to buy…read morecheap baby and kid clothes. As a soon-to-be parent, I wanted to dress my baby well but without spending a fortune since they will grow so quickly. True to their words, the onesies at Bella's Voice are about $1 apiece which is astounding in today's market. I came in twice over two weeks because I couldn't believe it and had to come back to see if the selection rotated as much as I hoped. The first time I was bummed that I found a cute unicorn sweater but it got confiscated for not having a price tag (their policy dictates that unpriced merchandise must be returned to the back room for processing with no guaranteed turnaround time for returning to the rack). By the second time I visited I found an even nicer kids jacket for about the same price which I promptly snatched up. The inventory turns at a steady pace and there's some fun stuff in there (Juicy Couture baby bottoms anyone?) This has definitely been my most promising resource for kid clothes for myself and parent friends so far, and has revitalized my former interest in thrift shop hunting as a hobby.

    We used to really like Bella's Voice and shopped there regularly after moving to Lynnwood in 2024…read more We have spent close to $3,000. That changed with one visit which occurred a month ago. Look at the photos for the condition of a rug they sold. At the Shoreline store, I purchased a rug that was tightly rolled and sealed with tape, so there was no way to inspect it at the store. When I got it home and opened it, it was in unacceptable condition: heavily stained, paint marks, and a strong cigarette odor. This is not an item that should have been on the sales floor. I brought it back within a week with the tag attached and receipt in hand. The manager Leonora did not start by looking at the condition. Instead, she went straight to finding reasons to deny the return. First saying there was no tag (there was), then saying they don't accept returns on "furniture." At no point did she engage with the actual issue. When I tried to show her why I was returning it, another employee inserted herself and escalated the interaction. I did raise my voice out of frustration (my voice carries) but I made no threats and was trying to explain a legitimate issue. Rather than hearing the concern or working toward a solution, the situation escalated quickly. The manager told me to leave or the police would be called for CRIMINALLY TRESSPASSING, and that is exactly what happened. Police were called over a return. I tried to de-escalate and offered reasonable solutions (exchange or completing my purchase), but the manager declined and stayed focused on denying the return and calling the police to have us removed for CRIMINAL TRESSPASSING! Even the responding officer looked at the rug and attempted to find an amicable resolution. My daughter, who was not involved in the interaction, was also threatened with trespass, which was upsetting and unnecessary. This should have been straightforward customer service: 1. The item was not in acceptable condition and the condition was against their own donation policy. 2. It was packaged in a way that prevented inspection 3. A reasonable review could have resolved it Instead, it escalated into a situation involving publicly funded law enforcement over a defective item. As a nonprofit serving the community, I would expect a greater emphasis on resolving issues directly rather than relying on public resources to shut down a legitimate concern. For a place called Bella's Voice, it was surprising how quickly the conversation was shut down. The executive director has chosen to ignore my formal complaint. Photos are attached so others can judge the condition for themselves.

    Everett Animal Shelter is an incredible asset to our community. We found our sweet girl Poppy…read morethrough them, and the entire experience--from our first inquiry to bringing her home--was absolutely outstanding. The staff and volunteers clearly care deeply about every animal that comes through their doors. They took the time to get to know us, listen to what we were looking for, and make sure Poppy was a good fit for our home and lifestyle. They were honest, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and offering great advice for a smooth transition. You can tell how much love and effort they put into socializing, caring for, and advocating for each animal. Poppy came home healthy, well cared for, and already showing the benefits of the compassion she received there. The shelter itself is clean and well organized, and the adoption process was clear, fair, and focused on what's best for the animals. We are so grateful to Everett Animal Shelter for bringing Poppy into our lives and for everything they do for animals and families in our community. If you're thinking about adopting, supporting, or volunteering, this is exactly the kind of place you want to be involved with.
