Seattle Art Museum
Sep 12, 2008 by Holly from Glendale

Overall Rating: 7

• The Asian collection is impressive.
• The exhibition design does nothing to encourage learning.

“I found the layout of the museum uninspiring. One flows through unrelated collections, all in white box rooms. There is no relationship between galleries. I also was unimpressed by the Taurus's hanging from the ceiling in the foyer.”

Pine Village Koa Campground
Aug 29, 2008 by Cindy from Puyallup

Overall Rating: 6

• Lots of things for the kids to do, close to Leavenworth.
• Stolen shoes!

“We stayed in the 2 room cabins, which were clean. The morning staff is friendly and helpful, however the evening staff seemed to be there to have a body behind the counter. Not very friendly or helpful. However, we did enjoy our stay. If you use the pool, make sure you take your shoes in the pool area with you and not left in the shoe cubby outside the fence. After swimming with my kids for about a half hour, we went to leave and discovered someone had stolen my daughter's sandals. When I talked to the front desk, they didn't seem to care one way or the other. They never even asked for my name or site number in case they turned up.”

• Many.
• None.

“One of the best run KOA's we've ever stayed at and we've been to many across the US and Canada! The little lake with the surrounding willow trees and paddleboats is so peaceful. We've invited many friends over the years to join us to which they too now camp regularly there. Word of mouth IS a great complement!”

Clyde Theatre
May 30, 2008 by Janice from Freeland, WA

Overall Rating: 10

• Can't think of anything negative.

“I love the Clyde Theatre in Langley, WA. It feels so homey, because I can't go there for a movie any given night or weekend without running into at least 4-6 people I know. People from Church, from Senior Center, or some Club I belong to. Even when I don't know a person, if I sit near them once or twice usually a conversation ensues, along with introductions. The people who work there are both paid help and volunteers and are so friendly week after week.”

Port Susan Camping Club
May 29, 2008 by Sandee from Hawaii

Overall Rating: 8

• Being in nature, the swimming pool, and the indoor pool and sauna for those 50+.
• No cable for internet, but there is an internet center.

“I love going to Port Susan and hiding away in the forest in the summer. In the winter it is a little dark and cold with all the trees, but in the summer it is heavenly (although I do wish there were more sunny lots). It's an affordable way to spend the summers in Washington when we choose to and we don't have to worry about our trailer and belongings since the park is a gated and has rangers who patrol. There are a lot of rules to keep the park safe, clean, pristine, and such, but those rules are actually what keep the park so very nice.”

Pine Village Koa Campground
Apr 26, 2008 by Erin from Reno, NV

Overall Rating: 2

• The Wenatchee River is nice.
• Please read my review.

“The actual grounds of this KOA are beautiful and the river is just a short walk down the hill. The owners, however, leave much to be desired. We found them to be extremely stingy and petty. We stayed a month because my husband was working in the area. I suppose, since we were given a monthly rate, they felt justified in giving us the worst possible site in the campground. Right on the only entrance, in between the dumpsters/dump station and a flooded leech field. Not only was this location extremely loud, the stench from the leech field was quite overpowering at times, not to mention a health concern. When we asked if we could move, they said no and assured us that the leech field would dry up in a day or two. Mind you, this was in April when there was hardly anyone else in the entire campground. Yet somehow they couldn't afford us a different site. Additionally, we had no barbeque pit our entire first week here, so my husband felt it would be ok if we borrowed the fire pit from the neighboring site. Within a half hour, a man came and took the pit back saying that we couldn't use it because we weren't paying for it. Several times after that, we would see the owner driving by our site very slowly, craning his neck to see if we had taken the fire pit back. The washers and dryers cost $1.50 per load and are frequently broken, which you don't find out until you've already put in your money and soap. There were many other little things that made us never want to stay here again, but if I took the time to list them all, I would be just as petty as the owners of this KOA.”

Bellingham International Airport
Nov 30, 2007 by Ryan from Bellingham

Overall Rating: 2

• Quick check in. Nice waiting area.

“I have had 2 flights out of Bellingham WA in the last month, and all I can say is if you can avoid it you should. I am sitting in the airport right now for the second time, only to have my flight delayed for the second time in a row. Today the delay is due to maintenance issues, so they have to call the maintenance crew and get them out of bed to come assess the situation (I'm not kidding) and last time my flight was cancelled indefinitely due to fog. I am beginning to wonder if flights ever leave on time from this airport. It would be wiser to fly into or out of Seattle, because most likely that is where they are going to make you drive when they cancel your flight. There are a lot of great things about Bellingham bit the airport is not one of them.”

Port Susan Camping Club
Oct 9, 2007 by Mike from Seattle, Washington

Overall Rating: 8

• Facilities, services, setting, relaxed attitude, quiet for a campground.
• Predictable park politics, some condo commando type people (easy to avoid if you don't want to be involved).

“Port Susan is a private camping club, where you buy a membership and pay an annual maintenance fee. You have access to a camping site for 180 days each year. You can leave your RV there all year, so you have may have drive to camping. This is nice because once you are set up on your site, you don't have to spend a lot of time preparing each time you get away. Positives include reasonable buy in and annual maintenance fees. The club is non profit. Location is easy to access off I 5 (about 15 minutes from freeway). There are plenty of stores within a 20 minute drive. Although close to city services, the location feels remote. You definitely feel that you get away to a remote location. There are an incredible amount of facilities and services (24 hour rangers, gated entrance, pools, lake, clubhouse, water, and power, septic). There are no weekend passes so that you can check out the part before you buy in. The best you can do is visit the membership office and ask for a tour of sites for sale. Our family has a site at port Susan. We really enjoy it and would recommend it.”

Tulalip Casino Inc
Oct 4, 2007 by David from Seattle

Overall Rating: 8

• The reception staff very helpful.
• Air conditioning is on all the time, it can get cold in the casino.

“I visit a lot of the casinos in the Seattle area, and I have to say the tulalip is the best so far. It's not too big or too small, and the energy there is better than in most Washington state casinos. I've found the slots at tulalip to be looser than any other casino in the area, the table game staff is always very friendly, and the buffet is quite good. There is a good selection of slots, and the high limit slots use the same tickets as the standard slot machines, so there is no need to keep cashing out every time you want to change machines, which is one of my casino pet peeves. However, they have introduced a second type of slot ticket for use at their new machines. I'll have to wait to see how that works out. All in all, it's my favorite Washington casino so far.”

Pine Village Koa Campground
Oct 2, 2007 by Pat from Kalispell, MT

Overall Rating: 9

• Quiet, clean, Wi-Fi, trees. Were very comfortable.
• We saw nothing to dislike.

“The people in the office were friendly, efficient, and helpful. We were escorted to our site and parked. The site was quite adequate for our needs. Campground is quiet and clean. There are lots of wonderful trees and also open space. The free wife has a strong signal and is quite fast. The roads in the park are Narrowing; however, we were able to drive our 42 footer without any trouble. It's only a few minutes drive to the center of Leavenworth. There is a shuttle from the campground to town if you'd rather not fight the parking hassle there. .”

Green Lake Park
Jul 30, 2007 by Maca from Sacramento, CA

Overall Rating: 10

• Great scenery and nice people.
• Too many people.

“I came to Washington to meet my boyfriend for the first time. He brought me here for our first date. It was a beautiful day, bright, sunny, and a cool small breeze. It was really busy though. We were there on a Saturday and there was a sort of run/walk fundraiser going on at the time. The people are friendly and we were mainly off the main trail because of the high traffic. I love it there and plan to go there when I go back up again.”

Overall Rating: 8

Pine Village Koa Campground
Jun 17, 2007 by Janice from SNOHOMISH

Overall Rating: 1

• The restrooms were kept clean.
• I already said all the dislikes.

“This campground is very unorganized and the office does not communicate with each other at all. We were told on the phone when we called them to ask if they took Good Sam Club members, the girl said yes they did. She explained that we wouldn't need to make reservations since we were coming in on a Wednesday. So, we drove our RV over Stevens Pass and when we go to the office to show our card and pay, they said they don't take Good Sam!! We argued and said we were told that on the phone before we left for the trip. A lady spoke up and said they would honor it, since we were given wrong information. We were planning on staying for 5 nights and this lady said we would get our discount for each night. We just paid for one night, to see how we would like the place. The next day, we went back to pay for the rest of our stay and this girl knew nothing about the discount and she called the manager. He was upset cause we interrupted his dinner! He was trying to also charge us regular fees, but had to call his sister to find out what we were being charged each night. Nobody had records or nobody communicated!!! But, he told me they were organized! Then, he tried to tell me that fees are more on weekends cause they have a hamburger feed to where the whole park can come eat free. They charge all campers more, to pay for this. That's not what the sister said when she told us we could have our discount for each night we were there. I made a point with him, and he was not very nice about giving us the discount without charging for the burger feed. They also were confused about the camp spot we chose. They said we could stay in the same spot all 5 nights, but after we got our motor home all hooked up and etc. then they were wanting us to move, cause they had someone coming in Friday that had a reservation for that spot. Later, they tell us to just stay where we are. Never again will we go there to such a disorganized and flaky KOA. We also heard some other bad stories about that place since The Witt Family took over. When going camping, you are to relax and have a good time, not to be stressed out like we were. So sorry to have to say all this but I was so frustrated with them. I told them to give us a free night after all the confusion, but they said they couldn't do that. I thought we deserved it!!”

Mercer Island
May 22, 2007 by Kristin from Salt Lake City

Overall Rating: 9

• Beautiful sites.
• Hard to find great weather times because it is so unpredictable.

“The people are very nice and helpful (especially if you get lost on the winding roads). The views and houses are fantastic. Although this island is small it has very good places for people watching, boating, swimming, and great restaurants! My personal favorite was the pizza place, Sahara pizza or bennets. If you have a nice book visit the south end star bucks! ”

Auburn General Hospital
May 11, 2007 by Marcia from Seattle

Overall Rating: 10

• Very friendly, responsive staff.
• The ward itself could be expanded to include more areas for the patients to move around comfortably.

“My mother (who is 91) was treated by Dr. Wornell in the geropsych ward to correct her medications for paranoid delusions and depression. She was there less than two weeks and put on a drug program that has had the effect of returning her to sanity. She had been treated by other medical professionals without success and the family is very happy about her treatment at Auburn General Medical Center.”

Clark College
Aug 18, 2006 by Alla from Bronx. NY

Overall Rating: 7

• The people were informative, friendly and very helpful.
• See more diversity in the school.

“This is my second visit to Clark College. I visited about 5 years ago and I am impressed in the changes from then to now. I enjoyed the whole look of the Campus. I noticed a lot more diversity information. ”

Pine Village Koa Campground
Jul 24, 2006 by Tom from Snohomish, WA

Overall Rating: 3

• Nice staff and good store.
• Too crowded and sites too close together.

“While this campground had all the amenities for the modern, (full hook up, cable, wireless Internet), it was way too crowded. They pack them in here very tight. The road in and around the grounds is very narrow and people are tenting anywhere they can set up. Not very well controlled. Kids on skateboards, scooters, bikes, etc. running wild. Very noisy, crowded, and too tight to feel comfortable. If you need to dump your RV holding tank, the dump site is right on the one and only drive into/out of the park. Not well planned. Very small pool which was packed. Staff was nice and the store is well stocked. Will not stay here again due to the overcrowding and cramped sites.”

Science Fiction Museum & Hall of Fame
Jul 22, 2006 by Kelly from Corvallis, OR

Overall Rating: 9

• Great exhibits.
• A bit pricey for a rather small museum.

“A small but unique place to visit. A bit pricey but worth it to any science fiction fan. Memorabilia from everything, movies, TV, and books. Highly recommended if you're in the area and you want to call yourself a true Sci fiction geek!”

Expierence Music Project
Jul 14, 2006 by Tricia from Poulsbo

Overall Rating: 9

• Love the hands on stuff!
• This is not the entire history of rock and roll so don't expect it.

“Bring all your friends and don't expect the complete history of Rock and Roll. I took my worldly rock and roller 7 year old son and we had a great time. We got there at 9am and waited an hour for the joint to open. The very kind employees told us the best time to go is between 4:30PM and 8PM (and have dinner in the EMP grill). My son and I had lunch at the EMP grill and it was very, very good. The wait staff was outstanding and the food was good and plenty. Go straight to the 3rd floor and do either the sound lab or the "on stage" areas then work your way down. I thought the store was lacking and expensive. hit the clearance table. We stayed from 10AM-4PM and my son never got bored. This would have been more fun with more friends to do the "on stage" area. We will go back with a crowd!”

Creek At Qualchan Golf Course
Jun 22, 2006 by Paula from Tucson

Overall Rating: 9

• The beautiful setting, the dramatic views from the elevated tees, the challenging layout of the course.
• A little tricky to find the first time you go there.

“ The Creek at Qualchan is easily the best value for the money of any course I have ever played. It is a public course but it is the most beautiful setting and the most interesting layout in the Spokane area. It is carved out of a beautiful woodland setting with elevated tees and fairways or greens on the other side of a huge gorge. Qualchan Creek meanders through the golf course and water comes into play on a number of holes. This course is a challenge for the low handicappers, but can be easily played by the higher handicap players too, and even if you don't score well you will love this course.”

City University
Jun 22, 2006 by Anonymous

Overall Rating: 1

• Many classes are easy (that's the hook) others are not, many students have to retake classes.
• "Facilitators" versus "Instructors".

“City University Distance Learning is *sub par. If you are considering taking CU DL classes you may want to make another choice. Not much teaching occurs with CU DL, if any, you're on your own and at almost $1500 per class, it's not worth it. Your advisor will likely get you to take the easy classes first and then you are in too deep to transfer out. Try to take the more substantial courses so you can see what they are like before committing with CU DL. Unacceptable to this customer.”

Seattle Art Museum
Jun 7, 2006 by Mary from Antioch, CA

Overall Rating: 10

• World-class art all year 'round and a nice cafe on site.
• Parking nearby is tough to find but there are parking garages in the area.

“I have family in Washington and a friend who lives in Seattle, and every time I visit up there, I check to see what is at the Seattle Art Museum before I go. This museum has one of the best permanent exhibits of Pacific Northwest Indian art to be found anywhere. I have seen some wonderful exhibitions there and art I never thought I'd see outside of London, Paris or New York. It is well worth your time to go to this museum whenever you go to Seattle”

Lion King

Overall Rating: 10

• Costume & sets were unbelievable! We enjoyed every minute.
• None

“A must see...This was a family event like no other a. My 10 year old nephew was captured from the opening moments as were my parents and everyone else in the theater. As the elephants made their way down the isle to the stage, I sat, mouth dropped open with amazement, at what it must have taken to produce this play. Bravo!!! I have seen my share of plays and have to admit this was one of the best I have seen.”

Expierence Music Project
Feb 14, 2005 by Robert S . from Newington, CT

Overall Rating: 6

• Big and fancy
• Not really about music

“Yknow, it's ok, as a big glamorous something or other. The building is cool, and it's hard to question the enthusiasm with which it was put together. But if you're going to a real authoritative museum of rock, this isn't it. The medium is so big that it really defies a museum in the traditional sense. If you want a museum of rock, check out the internet. It sounds like I'm being flip, but I'm not. You can glue a bunch of guitars together into a cool shape and get somebody famous's coat and a bunch of old posters, but that doesn't add up to rock and roll. So if you come looking for that, like I foolishly did, you'll be disappointed.”

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks (Ballard Locks)
Feb 14, 2005 by Robert S . from Newington, CT

Overall Rating: 7

• Boats moving up and down
• Boats moving up and down

“The boats come. The boats stop. The water goes up on one side and down on the other or vice versa. The boats go again. In a sense, if you've seen one set of locks, you've seen 'me all, and judged against that scale, the Ballard Locks are meant for only the truly desperate-for-attractions tourist. On the other hand, the gardens are pretty, and if you find yourself in the area, it's a decent place to just kick around and do nothing in for a half hour or so.”
