The Aztec goddess of water…read more Once we're off the plane we really do flow like water as we travel down to baggage claim and customs. One of the highlights of returning to Seattle from an international flight is seeing this piece of art. It's a unique welcoming gift. First you'll have an aerial view then once you're on the ground floor you'll really get to see how huge the pieces are. The sheer size and vibrant colors changes my attitude after being on a plane for hours. It brings up feelings of playfulness and energy. It reminds me of scrunchies I used to wear in elementary school. This is a nice addition to the airport. It's definitely one of my favorite public art pieces.

The Bellevue gardens is a pretty quiet and secluded little spot to relax and take in some nature…read more It's not a huge place, but it's big enough that you can spend an hour or two there, casually strolling about. No trouble with parking, and it is free to enter, so you really should stop by if you are nearby. It's worth it.

BOTANICAL GARDEN @ BELLEVUE…read more Parking is available right out front, which makes this place super accessible. There are also designated handicap parking spots. My friend and I visited on a Friday around 2 PM, and there were a few spots open, so getting in was really easy. I loved how simple everything was to navigate, there's even a map available when you enter. Entry and parking are both completely free, which is a huge plus. We walked along the trail and I'd recommend spending about 2-3 hours here if you want to take your time and fully enjoy it. We had to speed-run our visit because we had another errand afterward, but it was still incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend stopping by the bridge, it was very therapeutic and relaxing to walk across. There are plenty of benches and seating areas along the way, perfect for taking breaks or just soaking in nature. The quality of the space is amazing, with a wide variety of rocks, trees, and scenery that make the whole experience feel peaceful. There are also bathrooms located at the front, and you're never too far from other people, which made it feel comfortable and safe. Overall, I definitely recommend stopping by this place.

It was expensive, but not surprising for an airport hotel. The service at the bar was excellent. Regarding the rooms, it was fine. The hotel is dated and needs updating. For one night it was fine, but I would not want to stay longer than that. They do run a shuttle to the airport that was convenient.

The staff was very easy to work with from beginning to end. The complimentary AV equipment was very useful and we were very grateful it was already included, other facilities charged us for everything extra we needed.

VERY CLEAN MODERN LIBRARY…read more The library is part of the King County Library system and is located in the Burian City Hall mixed use structure which was built in 2009 and so it is a fairly new space. It also houses the City Council meeting room, which is currently being used for storage as the council has been meeting on-line since Covid. The library has many computers for members to use for job searches, email etc. You can also print stuff if you need to. When I was there I only saw a couple of people using the PCs out what must have been about 30 of them? The space is very bright with lots of natural light coming in through the windows. It has two floors and has an enclosed "Study Room" on the second floor, but really there are many places to sit, and of course, the library is very, very quiet. The first floor has a very nice children's section with small stools and tables suitable for kids. There are a variety of DVDs and CDs to borrow and of course an assortment of books, as well a large section devoted to Washington State and Seattle history! One of my favorite features is the Newspaper Magazine section. Just grab today's paper, or your favorite magazine and read all you want in a comfortable lounge like environment. No need to buy or borrow as long as you are inside the library.
