My son and I had already had a long day of walking and planned on going straight home. But then we…read morerealized how close Arlington Cemetery was so we decided to make a quick stop. We had no idea what we were getting into. There is a very nice museum area right when you walk in. There's lots to read if that's something you enjoy. Then off to your right you can either just walk into the cemetery by foot or take a tram. I went up to the desk and asked the lady if we would benefit from taking the tram. She told me it was over a mile walk, up hill to get to The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. That's all I needed to hear. We had just spent 4 straight hours walking. We took the tram. It didn't hurt that there was a military discount. So there are two ways you can utilize the tram. First you could just ride it from start to finish and I was told that takes between 35-45 minutes. Or you can get off at stops. There are 3 stops. Just beware, and they'll say it on the ride, that once you get off, you will have to wait about 30 minutes at each stop before the next one comes around to pick you up. At first we were just going to do the loop. But as the guide started talking about each stop we both wanted to stop. So our quick trip turned into several hours. I honestly had no intention of taking my almost 14 year old there. I really didn't think he would care too much. But I think he enjoyed it more than I did. He even wants to go back. So I would say that if you're on the fence, just go and see what happens. But eat before you get there. No food is allowed and there aren't any restaurants or vendors anywhere basically beyond the Lincoln Memorial. So make sure you don't go hungry like we did.

Super bummed that they asked me if I wanted a fingerprint of my mother's before cremation and I…read moresaid yes. After writing them for the ID number to order something on the brochure they gave us, they informed me that their scanner was broken at that time and there was no print. And they couldn't have told me that before they cremated her? I am so sad that the one thing I was looking forward to holding dear to my heart was taken from me. This is a small thing to miss, but would have meant the world to me. I would have had her finger put on ink had I known I would not be able to attain this from them.

On both occasions my parents were treated with care & respect. We elected to have them cremated (parents wish). From day one the planning for the event was done professionally.

They handled the disposition of the cremains as instructed. As far as cost I'd challenge anyone who can beat/match the prices they charge. It is Affordable and caring.

There are so many amazing things to say about this non-profit women-owned organization I barely…read moreknow where to start. I was introduced to Courageous Connections through an open house event they offered to families with children with disabilities. I was so impressed by their staff, volunteers, and program that I later went on to volunteer there myself, which I've been doing for almost 2 years. Courageous Connections offers equine therapy and equine assisted learning classes and workshops to people of all ages from all walks of life. They've positively impacted the lives of countless people living with disabilities, trauma survivors, First Responders, cancer warriors, people on hospice, troubled and at-risk teens and so many others! They even offer scholarships to help families who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford these services. We are SO fortunate to have this wonderful organization in our community. And not only are the women who own and run this operation some of the kindest, most sincere people you'll ever meet, but they are absolutely steadfast in making sure their herd of horses get the best possible care. And that's why I will continue to volunteer and sing their praises for as long as I'm able.

I woukd give zero stars if I could. I believe this place is…read moremissing donor funds $$$ and is a scam. They did a classic "bait and switch" after taking all of my personal information, HIPPA protected information, and medical information including insurance. I am a retired Animal Cruelty Investigator and have debilitating CPTSD from severe abuse and my past work with abused and neglected animals mostly, horses. I am also a cancer survivor. This was my only hope of finding healing from all the horrific cases I worked on for many years 24/7 with no days off. I fought on the frontlines and was a force for the animals and have helped rescue thousands from abuse and neglect. I recently spoke with Sue, who is the owner of the facility and she seemed very self absorbed with her personal life. After speaking with me and hearing my story, she told me I would definitely be eligible for a full scholarship as my income is well below poverty level. All I had to do was fill out paperwork. I requested and received a gas voucher from Saint Vincent DePaul so I could attend the therapy sessions. Courageous Connections recently raised thousands of dollars ($10K) at an auction in Snohomish County. After filling out several pages of personal information, I was denied ANY help $$$ Not even a discounted rate. This is sad and irresponsible and a red flag to say the least. Often these NON Profit animal agencies too often misuse donor funds $$$ for personal gain. If they cant help a disabled woman who fought on the front lines for abused animals, survived Domestic abuse, and Cancer what is the $$$ actually being used for? I would highly suggest anyone not get involved or donate anything $$$ money or auction items to this agency ever . Give to your local animal shelter where there is more oversight and regulations with $$$ Shame on you Sue for misleading me and calling it "confusion" There is no confusion on what you promised and what you took from me personally.

My grandpa's graveside funeral service was held at Maple Leaf Cemetery after he died in 2006 and…read morehis ashes were buried in his and my grandma's gravesite. The graveside funeral was easy to access though limited parking restricted the number of attendees. Since the funeral I have visited the cemetery with my family including my grandma a number of times to visit his grave. The cemetery is well maintained and there are enough roads run to make it a short walk to graves not immediately on the road, which is nice for those with difficulty walking. Deer occasionally roam through here, so my grandma and I have come on occasion to check to see if the flowers on grandpa's grave have been eaten by the deer. My grandma is not so fond of the deer, I find it poetic in a sense because deer also visit her house in Oak Harbor and eat her flowers there. The deer look after both of them and are wildlife comfort for my grandma who is coming on being a widow for 15 years now.

The grocery store system is perfect, offering choice to folks who don't have much nor get that kind of respect. Since then food banks, distro and community assistance has been a growing interest for me. I look to copy the standards and general set up of Stanwood Camano Foodbank at each place I volunteer for. Love the staff and volunteers! It was difficult to walk away from such a fine organization when I had to relocate. Kudos to the Thrift Store, too. Endless merchandise for all who are in need and probably the most organized of any I've been to. In some cities thrift stores gouge customers by misidentifying antiques that are simply regular items. No joke, there are a few down the street from me and it's pathetic. This one is reasonable and fair. I highly recommend volunteering for both the store and the food bank. If you do though, remember it's for the community not for you, and should not be looked at as a job but as an opportunity to serve. Great organization overall, I look forward to the day I can be there again!
