I was planning a last minute weekend hiking trip for my brother and me in the SE corner of Olympic…read moreNational Park. I found the Salmon Cabin at Elk Meadow Farm to be the best lodging option. I determined our two hikes - Mt. Ellinor and Mt Townsend - then explored all hotel/motel/b&b options from the Union/Hoodsport area to Quilcene with 2 beds. There was basically 2 options with 2 beds - one higher end hotel (Alderbrook at $320/night for their most basic room, and not ideal since we were literally there just to sleep, and there was going to be a wedding) and motels. The Salmon Cabin was in between and at $140/night was great value. We arrived after hiking the Mt Ellinor trail. The owner, Jim, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us additional info on the Mt Townsend hike. He left us hot coffee in 2 travel thermos at 6am the next morning, and then came to the cabin to check us out after our hike since he knew we were pressed to make our afternoon flights out of Sea-Tac. What made it great: - 2 rooms - bedroom with queen for my brother, and living space with futon for me - Bathroom was very clean and they left toiletries - Great use of space, with a full kitchen if you want to cook, washer and dryer if you are staying several days - They let us stay one night, and were flexible with check-out to allow us to shower after our morning hike - It was quiet and peaceful on a side street off Route 101 A few things to know: - A great central location between Mt. Ellinor and Mt Townsend, but limited options for dining/groceries in Brinnon. Therefore, we planned an early dinner at Hama Hama Oysters before closing (5:30) on our way to the cabin - This is a great value option - the sheets and towels were good quality for the price but you should not expect luxury hotel linens

I can't say enough great things about this company. Paul did a great job spraying hydroseed on our…read moreyard and it looked great the first day he did it. He sprayed the hydroseed on like an artist, as if he was painting a picture and the picture turned our well. I like their guarentee too that the job will be done right or they will fix it. Our automatic sprinklers watered the new hydroseed and after 7 days, the grass starting coming up just like planned. It looks very nice and looks better everyday as it grows. I've included pictures of the progress. If I was going to hydroseed the yard again, I would call NW Bulldozing & Hydroseeding and ask for Paul to come out and get it done. We're very happy customers and can rest easy knowing that if there is ever a problem with the lawn, they will come out and take care of it. One of my sprinklers failed after the hydroseed was installed When our landscaping contractor came out and replaced the sprinkler head a couple days later, it's hard to even tell. The grass came in so fast it covered the spot that was repaired. Nice work.

I was sent a picture of the arrangement and it had lilies in it and they looked old and the arrangement was disappointing. I contacted them immediately and talked to an older gal who wasn't very nice. She said they would take out the lilies, and I asked for a picture of the completed arrangement. I waited...and never got a picture. I then called them back and talked to a nice gal and told them I rather the flowers not be delivered if they looked anything like the first picture. The nice lady said they would have redone a new arrangement if I wasn't happy, but I was never given that option on the first phone call I made, even though I told her the arrangement looked embarrassing. I was told that the arrangement was already out for delivery. Ugh! What my friend received looked pathetic. Not happy at all with this purchase. It's a lot of white flowers with brown tips. This is NOT a pretty arrangement at all. I'm sorry I spent $100 on this transaction. It's a bummer to spend half the day worrying, texting and calling. They did NOT make a second design for me, even though William said so. What a shady business.

It's owned by a maestro of style, Laurie; and you need only give her an idea, and you will be served well. She is knowledgeable, kind, cheerful, and always willing to talk to you about all things flowers. I have been coming to Pistil Design for years now, and her new location in Ballard is a perfect spot to gather yourself when you need flowers. It's a store, but it's also an inviting workshop and pulls you inward. The selection is seasonal; therefore, freshness is guaranteed. I never know what I want and honestly, flowers are things that you need to have a knack for, but she knows how to match the flower to the right person or occasion. This was Valentines, and roses are always good, but I wanted something different, something non-traditional that would convey the love for my wife. Having Laurie meant I could rest easy. When the day came, I walked in, and she presented to me a beautiful bouquet of flowers which captured the winter and spring colors, something very Pacific Northwest, yet with all the love and passion that one could expect. Pistil Design exceeds every one of my expectations, and I would recommend that you give her a call, and share your vision/needs. She will transcend them, and put a smile on your face.
