He ask a few questions that gave away is experience right away. You will not be disappointed is his work at all. The only disappointment I have is the fact he might retire some day. I hope he can train an apprentice and the SCS name continues. I will be happy to drive from Bremerton to Seattle to have a real pro work on my ride. His shop is big enough to keep you bike safe all night and his communications skills are direct and honest.

The Klahaya Swim & Tennis Club grounds were well maintained and a nice community space when I…read morecompeted in the Seattle Summer Swim League 1999 to 2010 for Innis Arden. The parking lot is medium size and during swim meets the church across the street was kind and allowed overflow parking, so the walk was not too far. During my younger years, the blocks were a bit like a very thick and durable plastic table and the backstroke hand rungs were sharp (not piercing) on my fingers. The top of the blocks could get slick and were on the flatter side. Some of the Klahaya swimmers expressed glee about how their pool had the "cleanest" blocks because they were flat. There was some debate on whether using slightly tilted and rough-surfaced blocks constituted cheating in a race. It was commonly agreed upon wedge technology for starting blocks counted as cheating. I was thankful for the flatter blocks because it helped me realize how much a rough surface on a block and a slight tilt could change the depth of a dive off a block and overall dive form. The pool was well designed for waiting for races both on the benches and behind the blocks, watching the swimmers from the bleachers or the side/end of the lanes, and a large grassy area next to the tennis courts provided space to spread out a blanket and/or chairs. Concessions were easy to find, though the line could flow into the walking path if long. Locker rooms were easy to access from the pool deck.

The facility is always clean, plenty of parking and the staff are always helpful. Only knock against it is the pool is only open seasonally.

This has got to be one of the best nights out in town for spectator sports…read more First of all it's an amateur sport; people doing it for the love of the game in their spare time. Spare time being three practices a week, plus training, promotion, & fundraising (after they get done with the job that pays the mortgage). Secondly, these women, without repose are atheletes, currently ranked #1 in the nation in the sport of Women's Flat Track Derby Racing (http://www.wftda.com). The game it self is kinda hard to explain with out a visual, but it ain't that Rollerball shite from the 70's. Fundamentally, it's a race. Two teams of 5 players each on a small, flat track, with one player from each team (jammer) trying to lap the entire pack to score points. While, the other 4 players (3 blockers & 1 pivot) on their team are trying to prevent the other teams jammer from getting through the pack. Its grassroots & full of fun. It's loud. The sound tech needs some hearing aides. There are many personalities to entertain -the announcers (3 of 'em), each team has atleast one mascot (some have 3) to razz the crowd. All of the players have spoof game names/numbers: 24/7 Pia Mess, 40oz Sake Bomb & 666 Selma Soul to name a few. This season they arehaving matches in numerous locations: Key Arena, Magnuson Park: Hanger 27, & Qwest Event Center: WaMu Theater. This is a family friendly event, but should you just be the mood to watch the girls race & drink some brews there is a cage for ya! So as not to scare the kiddies. Do -bring some EAR PLUGS, they are not always available at the event (events are held monthly -with some special events in between). This is a fast growing sport with leagues all over the country & in our backyard (Everett, Bellingham & Olympia to name a few in the area). Most metroplisis, metropolii...BIG CITIES in the states have a league. Come out & support a WINNING Seattle sports team that is not made up of millionaires.

He explained to me over the phone how to check it out, so I did. After talking to him a second time he said, bring it in and I'll warranty it, which I did also had him do one other repair and replace the fuel filter. When I went to go pick it up apparently a fuel filter and a brake handle cost more than $207. He caught a bad attitude and said "what do you expect me to work for free. Pretty horrible turn of events after being treated so well the first time. In short, just make sure you get a quote instead of a handshake deal. Their Shop rate is $150 an hour.

My wife and I stopped at Cole Gallery last month and loved some recent additions to the gallery. The staff is so knowledgeable on the artist's work and they have great working relationships to be able to answer most questions on the pieces on display. We walked out with a great prize of a landscape oil painting, only to return the following weekend and purchase a second painting from the same artist.

My hubs and I love this movie from 1989 and it was wonderful to see it in a classic, vintage theater (100+ years old!) with a good-sized crowd. So fun to laugh and cry with lots of people at the movies again!! The COVID pandemic took this tradition away and I am really hoping more people start going back to the movies again. The staff were friendly and the place was clean and full of good popcorn smells. We didn't partake though because $9 for a small bag of popcorn is just too expensive. But we appreciated this nice, old theater and we will be back.

Just such an enjoyable experience whenever I frequented it. Unfortunately from what I understand it was recently sold. Sigh. It's STILL a great old school theater, but that's about all that has remained. The fun, quirky, employees that always seemed to enjoy their work and showed their commitment to our lovely community have been replaced by dour, seemingly VERY unhappy and just CRANKY employees. I worked in Costumer Service for 30 years, and believe me it's HARD, especially during and after COVID. IMHO employees ACT like this under really bad mangers and management. Miserable employees treat customers with no kindness, no joy. My advice to management is FIX yourselves and the employee will follow. 'Nuf said! Best of luck, you bought a GEM, I hope you can find it again and KEEP IT.

They did have shuttles but I didn't know about them until after the fact, my problem. It's a $3 admission charge and kids 12 and under are free. The festival is held down at the water in Edmonds near Anthony's and the beach. They have a food court with the typical fair food. There's live entertainment which I didn't see any of except some hula girls behind the stage trying to change clothes as fast as possible. There's a beer and wine garden, but I don't drink so didn't go to that. Also have booths with people selling their various wares. This is a small festival. I don't know if it will be worth the effort to attend again. We saw what we were interested in and done in 30 minutes. No rides or anything like that for adults. I saw it advertised after the fact that they were having hydroplane races, so that would have been cool to see.
