I unfortunately witnessed someone in dire need of medical care and resuscitation. When called they were first on the scene and worked very hard to help stabilize this person who needed help. It wasn't a pleasant scene, but it was great seeing in person these brave first responders in action. No Rescue me or Ladder 49 here. A real-life spring into action to help secure a scene, oust the fire and help the victim. When I saw SFD FF, I waved, and he gave a thumbs up as the truck headed back to the station. Stay safe out there and do your part to prevent wildfires or any kind of fire for that matter. Don't want to sound the PSA alarms but doing our part can make sure SFD can do their thing top notch. Thanks for your commitment SFD.

This free museum is filled with old fire trucks dating back to an 1834 hand pumper. A must see for young and old, and each fire truck has a print out, which is free, for one to take home and explains all about the particular vehicle.... I was so impressed. The entire museum is indoors. For details, activities and events in which LRFD participates see: www.lastresortfd.org The museum is free but a donation is requested. Your kids will love this place and so will you. Well worth the time to see.

Doug the guy running the show gave me an amazing tour making me feel immediately welcome upon walking the doors. Not knowing what to expect since I had literally found out about this place by just walking by it, Doug did a great job job explaining the museum and trading stories with me from his time as a volunteer firefighter. As a firefighter with Las Vegas Fire & Rescue I would highly recommend stopping by Last Resort Fire Department for a quick tour of SFD history

Evidently I had been renewing my driver's license online for awhile, it was time to update my photo…read more& info after receiving a postcard notice in the mail. Info provided via QR code on the postcard and WA State Dept. of Licensing site were helpful. Unfortunately, the closest site in Shoreline was booked out to end of June! I can't chance driving with an expired license, so I started looking at other sites for available appointments. I snagged one for 5/8/26 at 0830 at the Seattle/Queen Anne site. I was also provided reminder updates prior and even on day of for check-in. Pro tips: Definitely make an online appointment versus hoping for same day service, unless you have plenty of time to potentially wait. Bring appropriate documentation to prove your identity and state residency. There's a list provided on their website. I had my current driver's license, car registration, passport, and car & homeowners insurance policies. Excessive, better to be prepared than not. Despite living in Shoreline, my appointment was scheduled at the Seattle/Queen Anne site. I gave myself plenty of time to locate it and find street parking. Thankfully, the parking rate via the app was reasonable. 45 minutes covered my time in line and the renewal process. When I approached the entrance 35 minutes early, there were folks already in line. Eventually this line stretched up the the sidewalk. Upon leaving, there was an even longer line and nearly full waiting area. Just saying. While I was waiting, I received a text to check-in to state that I was indeed onsite. This provided a secondary code to use upon entry and the check-in booth prior to being briefly seated. I literally was the first one served. Guess I did not need to be so early & freeze in line. That's on me though. I provided my current expiring license and answered all the questions asked. I even took a vision test to verify I no longer used corrective lenses/glasses for distance. I also declined my long time motorcycle endorsement. Note that driver's licenses can be renewed for either six or eight years. My photo was taken. This hopefully is an improvement over my passport and Costco membership card, lol. Turns out my ancient photo on record was since 2001! I finished up all the other things requested. Just make sure all the information on the temporary license is accurate on the screen before signing. This will be your temporary paper license until the renewed card arrives via mail. Note that there is an additional fee if payment is made via credit or debit card. No fee if payment is made via cash or personal check. I was done within ten minutes! Loved the humor and upbeat, friendly service from the gentleman at booth 4 that morning. I was expecting dour and curmudgeon service, ended up receiving the complete opposite in customer service. Props to that staff member! Many thanks! There's also a wall by the entrance/exit that had additional free informational pamphlets and guidebooks, just an fyi. Hope this Yelp post was helpful and that you have a positive experience renewing your driver's license onsite.

They were the first on scene when there was an incident that could have ended badly for my fiancé. When I was a teenager, they helped me with mental health related calls along with EMT and police officers. Very recently they saved my childhood house (we still own and rent out) from completely burning down. My father spoke with an investigator and fire chief about what could've caused it and they're still trying to figure it out, but even if they never do, they saved the house. Without them, it wouldn't even be a structure anymore and definitely not salvageable. I gotta make y'all cookies or something. You guys deserve way more but I wanna do what I can to show my appreciation.

Both ladies I've worked with have responded quickly with full information and have always been polite. They've answered my questions fully and understood what I was looking for. It's easy to book a park with the city. Filling out a form you can find online is the first step then emailing it in to them for consideration with the dates and locations you want is next. Some parks are so popular in the few warm months we have here that the city has a lottery of who gets to have the weekends first, so plan in advance. Prices are really inexpensive. There are extra fees if you want to add any vendors, bouncy houses, etc. No alcohol or amplified sound is allowed.
