The workers doing their duty for this country were educated, prepared, friendly, and professional. I'd vote here everytime for till 3000 :) because of them. Cool story, my co-worker and pod mate recently became a citizen. I think she was intimidated by the registration process as online there were some hiccups for her. After going to vote for myself, I pinged her and let her know while standing in line, they have workers helping those who haven't registered yet. I told her how great everyone was, how fast the line moved, and how easy peezy it all was. I had been trying all week to get her to vote, and after my experience at Crossroads Community Center, she did it!

My companion and I had driven to 3 parks in the evening, a week or two ago, looking for a tennis court. The tennis courts were full at every one of the 3 parks that we drove to! It was about to get dark soon, so we thought that it might get dark if we tried to wait for a court at one of the parks. So, we drove here as our last try to find an open outdoor public tennis court that evening. Thankfully both tennis courts were open here when we arrived! As you can see on the ground around me, the tennis courts had quite a bit of tree debris on them (mostly twigs and pine cones). However, we were able to play tennis here for about an hour and the pine cones and twigs didn't really interfere with our play, so 5 stars from me! The second tennis court was occupied by 2 other tennis players shortly after our arrival. They were very considerate and threw the stray ball back to us when it landed in their area, and we did the same for them. The parking lot is smallish, but it was sufficient for our needs and it was only about half full. The winding path to get to the tennis courts was a lovely place for a short stroll, with tall trees surrounding the path. There is a kids play area near the tennis courts. Kids seemed happy about playing there on the evening of our visit. There is also a 4-hoop basketball court adjacent to the tennis courts. It was full for most of the time that we were playing tennis. I liked the high fences around this space, so we didn't have to worry about a basketball getting in the way of our tennis play. It's been years since I last played tennis. I played tennis a lot growing up, mostly with my Mom, who is extremely competitive. I'm not super competitive myself, I prefer to be collaborative in most cases, but I was delighted that my companion and I each won 5 of our 10 games, because I do like doing physical activities with people of similar skill levels. Super nice and peaceful area, and a great place to play tennis. We may return!

I have often thought of the Peter Kirk Community Center as 'the little engine that could'. For such…read morea small space, they manage to offer loads of activities here. Layout wise, they have a decent size multi-purpose room with kitchen. It is big enough to have a low height stage, and its capacity is 150 guests. They have three conference rooms that also acts as meeting rooms or classrooms. These spaces are available for rent. The online link has photos of these spaces. A reception area with a few couches and a bookcase is just inside the entry. I have seen people, young and old on these couches, mingling, and just hanging out here at all hours. They offer senior activities during the daytime, as well as community classes throughout the day and evening. I have taken yoga classes as well as a stretching class. The class catalog is available online. Both Kirkland and non-Kirkland residents can sign up. During special occasions, they host bigger events for the greater community. The most recent is a Lunar New Year celebration with children's activities indoors inside the community center, the kitchen offered spring rolls to snack, the adjacent teen center building held performances, and a Chinese Lion Dance team entertained everyone outdoors on a beautiful day. It was a blast!

After walking around a bit we saw they had volleyball teams playing and offer swimming at the pool as well. We were able to take advantage of all they offer here for just $5 per person per day. You can also do a monthly pass for $24 but we are not from the area. As we are in a heat wVe, I am very much looking forward to swimming later this evening. This is a nice facility that offers much to the community and I am so glad we had a chance to check it out!

My daughter has taken some classes here so my review is based on our experiences coming here…read more The facility has staff at the door to get you to the right place or take your payment. There is a day use fee but they offer punch cards for regular use. The gym is huge. Has upper seating area. It is 3 basketball courts they place baby gates between for multiple classes. Jazzercise is going on at one end while my daughter has volleyball at the other end. The coach struggles to talk over the music of that other class. It is carpeted as well. They have lots of kid classes available here. And there are some classroom areas, so things like Tai Chi can happen in a less loud environment, but it's not perfect. There is a walking track around the gym upstairs but it costs to walk ....$3. I like this place b/c they offer classes my kids want to try. Younger kids have plenty of sports leagues to enjoy. They have a gym and you can get a good workout here without joining a gym elsewhere. It's nice when the community center is clean and offers a lot. We enjoy utilizing this place. They do not charge extra for non city residents like most of the cities around here.

You have to pay extra for: *Tennis *child care *personal trainer *even group x classes which usually are included in the fees unless there is some specialized ones. I am wondering soon they will start charging for walking in their club or using their restroom. Total rip off. Yes I understand it is a fancy facility but if I am paying $3000 initiation fees atleast I should be able to attend the group x classes. I will surely pass on them...

We had joined The Bellevue Club mostly for the swimming and the socializing but we were pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had on the tennis court. We popped over to Target and bought some child-size rackets for our girls 3 & 5 -- added some pink tennis balls and we were off for some fun. If I'm honest...the girls did more running around chasing the balls than anything else but it was a ton of fun (and it really made them sleep better than when we take them to the movies and pump them full of candy and popcorn)

Wow! I did not know about this place until my friend had her son's birthday party there and I was…read moresurprised how nice it it. I was familiar with the playground there, which is one of the best around. The amount and diversity of equipment makes a big difference because it is suitable for children of all ages. The place is big and it is good for big parties. It can fit lots of tables and chairs for the guests. It also had lots of toys for children to play around. From little cars, to spinning stuff, baby toys, sensorial and Montessori toys. It is definitely a plus to me. They also have a kitchen with appliances free to use. So if you bring food for your party you can use the microwave and oven to warm it up. Staff is also very friendly and it makes a huge difference because it does not matter how nice the place is if we don't get a good customer service it is a no no for me. There is also lots of free parking on both community center and playground. I really recommend this place to anyone who wants to take their kids to a fun great playground and for people who wants to have birthday parties.

There are three baseball fields, all well-maintained and each field has bleachers and a dugout for both teams.

For those in Downtown Bellevue it's walking distance. This park is a prime spot for softball and baseball games, so be sure to make reservations if your league plans to use a field here, as the place gets busy, especially at the field we were at because it had lights -- essential for summer night games.

If you are looking to just have some fun and learn to play this is NOT the place for you…read more Their website lists open play from 9am-1pm on S/Su. I tried calling ahead just to see if a court reservation was needed. I called their listed number on the website, their was no answer and no machine on Saturday or Sunday but we drove over anyway. There was no one at the front desk except for a bunch of teenagers playing with their phones. One of them was nice enough to advise us that open play had been cancelled due to a tournament and directed us to an employee. First employee we spoke to was too busy "running the check in desk" to speak to us. Second employee could not really speak English but did her best to answer our questions which were 1) do you have a calendar we can see that shows when you have open times and when they are closed for tournament Short answer no 2) is there a better contact we could call to get a live person or message that tells us up to date information so we don't have to drive all the way to the facility to find out they are closed Short answer no Essentially there is no communication with patrons about their open status and they did not seem interested nor apologetic for that situation. 1 star is being generous

Seattle Badminton Club is a great new addition to Washington's badminton scene…read more The facilities are really clean which is always a plus. Trash bins are set out by each court side so players can dispose used birdies, a really nice touch. The floor when I was there was swept two time, they really have being organized and clean down. Drop-ins are 7 dollars. The staff was super friendly as well, the people who opened this place play here on a regular basis and are very welcoming. The only thing that needs to be changed is the fact it's a little bit dim, needs brighter lighting on the courts. Come enjoy a super clean and fun new facility that I highly recommend if you're interested in playing Badminton.
