This is a beautiful park with well-manicured trails, a picnic area, a playground, and plenty of open space to walk around. We visited on a weekend and it was fairly busy, so if you’re looking for total solitude you may want to choose another spot. That said, it still felt peaceful and relaxing, with lots of room to explore and enjoy the outdoors. We’d definitely come back again for another visit.

This is amazing park with many trails where you can go for a walk, jogging or cycling. There are multiple and different parking stalls on different areas. And absolutely a beautiful waterfall and lakes around the park. Many areas for pets with leash and without leash area. Other spots for a birthday party and BBQ. Don’t hesitate on visiting this place you will absolutely enjoy it.

Very cool park with ample parking, a playground for kids, paved walking paths for handicapped visitors, and several walking/hiking trails for more adventurers. There's also a fish hatchery there, not sure how active it is. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

Amazing place to walk and explore, swim at your own risk, great scenery and friendly locals . Love the falls and swim hole.

Great hiking, walking, jogging paths along the river. Beautiful and well maintained!!

Was a quick hike, absolutely beautiful in the fall. We got wet from the rain, but it was easy to get to. We will visit again and explore more of the trail another time!

Amazing and cute little park! The falls are beautiful, with the amenities of a small city park (playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, bathrooms, off-leash dog areas, etc.) but with trails that feel like you're out in the middle of the woods. Waterfalls and small creek are very charming. The pools made by the dams are picturesque. Love that the waterfalls and stone bridge is so close to the parking lot.

3 hour drive from Olympia, got there about 9:30 am on a Thursday the parking lot was not that bad. There is a big parking lot(fills up fast) with bathrooms, maps to show where you're at and where you're going. Well maintain trail but there are rocks and roots the whole way so good shoes are a must. I also brought my hiking poles and man I'm glad,there are spots that I just needed a little help. The first view point has a covered picnic area for a good spot to reenergize before going to the next spots,the second view point is the best out of the 3 spots with the top and bottom of the falls taking your breath away,(No that was getting to the second spot🤣) the third spot is more going up, not a bad view though. Be safe, bring water,snacks,good shoes, and hiking poles. Take your trash and enjoy the forest, it's a mildly challenging hike about 5 miles and 1300 feet in elevation.

-Need Discover Pass or pay $10 for the day. -Prioritize seeing Middle Falls, it’s the best waterfall. If you hike to the top, past Upper Falls ~0.5 miles to the view, you can see Seattle in the distance. Second best part of hike. Lower and Upper Falls are nice. Took me 3 1/2 hours round trip. Took 30 minutes of that time to eat and enjoy the view.

There aren’t many waterfalls this close to the city, and this park is truly a PNW gem. With three stunning waterfall viewpoints, scenic creeks, and charming wooden bridges, it’s an epic spot for a day outdoors. The trail is about three miles one way, so it’s a bit of a workout, but there are plenty of benches along the way to rest and take in the beauty around you. Since it’s a state park, you’ll need a Discover Pass or a $10 day-use pass.

One of the best hikes in the PNW 💚 The sunlight shining through the trees and the relaxing sound of flowing water lasts the entire time you are on the trail. Saw lots of families and dogs so definitely beginner friendly to the middle falls!

Just went last week and it was gorgeous! The waterfall had a lot more volume than I was expecting for summer, the trail was moderate, but the hike to the upper fall was quite steep and hard, but also SUPER worth it!! The parking area is quite large but it does get filled up very fast, we got there at 7:30 am so it was almost empty but by 12 there was no space at all.

Super easy to reach the trailhead. First .4 miles is flat, then it reaches up into the forest. Green, shaded, bridges and stream crossings. Gorgeous. There are three separate portions with waterfalls: lower, middle and upper. The last section climbs 600 feet in a h a half mile, so it is steep with lots of switchbacks. Worth it!

I've been going on this hike since I was a little girl and now I get to take my children. The hikes at the lower falls is easy enough for kiddos and always well maintained. Lots of roots and rocks and crags so definitely older people would benefit from using hiking sticks.

Sprawling paved paths around forested green swimming lake, showers to rinse off outside. There are several entrances, an expansive dog park, ample parking, and a tennis court. Very dog friendly, clean and they have a few trashcans about the trails.

Very fun Lake to take the family to. Hot days can be pretty crowded but you can usually find a small cove with privacy if you don’t want to be near crowds. It’s fun to walk around the entire lake, about 2.5 miles or so. Has some decent size hills. Also good fishing, I have not personally fished the lake but I often see people getting good catches. There are water fountains. The bathrooms get locked towards the evening. There’s a dog park along with an off leash trail. And a playground

Great spot to walk, swim, kayak, fish....ya know, all that outdoorsy stuff. Nicely maintained.

This is a very well maintained Park with a pristine and serene Lake. There are 3 entrances ( i believe) to this park, each with its own parking lot and amenities (such as bathrooms, picnic area and playground). We love the bike trail that circles the entire Lake and connects to the mountain bike trails. And yes, you're allowed to ride an E-assist bike here, but please respect the speed limit of 15 mph.

I came here specifically for fishing and while there is a dock for fishing it's dilapidated. The benches are rotted and the deck isn't much better. Tons of swimmers, kayakers, and people just enjoying their day. Seems like it would be crazy busy in June while the college is still in term.

I spent a sunny morning walking the mostly flat lakeside loop and loved how everything feels compact and easy to use. The main trail is smooth and friendly for joggers, families with strollers, and dog walkers, while short side trails climb into quieter forested spots if you want birdwatching or a bit of solitude. There’s a small boat launch and plenty of picnic space, so bring a blanket and snacks; midweek parking is easy but weekends get busy. Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer for lake breezes.

Beautiful environment, the lake and. Picnic areas are nice, the park is well worth visiting.

This beautiful park feels much more remote than the few minutes it takes to get here from downtown Mount Vernon. There are pros and cons to visiting, however. Pros: As a biology student researching fungi, this park is a true delight in terms of finding unique specimen. As you can tell from photos, I've found a plethora of different species of fungus, slime molds, and native plants. It's a pretty quiet park, also, so you're surrounded by the sounds of birds, wind in the trees, and the few small brooks you'll come across. It's also advantageous that there are parking lots both at the top and bottom, so you can start either place. The trails are winding, and though there are few maps of them, they each run into each other, and it's easy to find your way back no matter. The views from both the bridge and the gazebo at the top are gorgeous scenes of the Skagit Valley, so even if you start at the bottom, making your way to the top is more than worth it. Cons: There are regular enough bear sightings that it's definitely important to keep your eyes peeled and carry bear mace, if you can. This park also contains trails specifically for mountain biking and are labeled as such for the safety of bikers and hikers, but that doesn't seem to keep the bikers to those specific trails. You'll find mountain bikers on any trail, and they don't always slow down and do always expect hikers to get out of the way, even on pedestrian trails. I recommend limiting headphone use to one ear or not at all if you use them hiking, so you can listen for oncoming traffic. The park is dog friendly, which is a major bonus, but requires dogs to be on leash. The con here is that many don't respect the leash rule, which can be frustrating to those walking with nervous or reactive pups. All of that said, this is a lovely park, and most people you run across are friendly. If you run across me staring at logs or photographing mushrooms, feel free to say hi!

It's exactly 1.5 miles up if you take the paved path. Beautiful scenery and always clean, and they have a nice port a potty halfway up. I like that they also have trails for bikes or if you want more of a hike!

Hidden in plain sight on a hillock overlooking Mount Vernon, this bike and h8mer-feirndly county park is simply fabulous. Even if you and the kids are not ready for a radical hike, you can drive to the very top, have a picnic lunch, then walka short ways to an observation platform 100ft above the receding hillside that offers a stunning northward view.

Love how they have 2 look outs places overlooking the Skagit Valley, many trails and not far from. I-5!

Steep trails and beautiful scenery. *TERRIBLE SIGNAGE* Dual use trails for Bicycles. I'm 66 and made it 🥵

There is something for everyone on this little mountain! Endless trails with varying difficulty levels, plenty of biking areas, amazing views, even a dark and light side of the mountain depending on the time of day! Whether you feel like a cool, relaxing, shady hike or a beautiful sun-soaked walk through the forest, Little Mountain is the place to go!

Lovely set of trails! Saw a few regular hikers who were very friendly and full of information. Beautiful greenery, sweet bird music, and some pretty butterflies to round out the trip. Will be back!

The rooms was actually very nice and well stocked with extra towels and pillows. Very comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Everything was as advertised and no extra hidden fees (I booked through their website). Casino was clean and smoke free, and the craps dealers were good natured and helpful. Good place to stay in between Seattle and Vancouver BC! Cheapest gas on the I-5 corridor at their station, too!

While a hotel stay at the Angel of the Winds Casino Resort is highly recommended if you want to enjoy a laid back getaway with quick access to the casino floor, a stay at their recently added RV Resort in a first class "Yurt" is where its at! With a full kitchenette, bathroom w/ shower, hide a bed, California king bed, flat screen TV for entertainment, outside fireplace, and pet friendly environment, a stay at one of these is peaceful and comfortable above and beyond. Just a quick provided shuttle ride away from the actual casino, the Park setting allows you to separate yourself from the lights and glamour, get some down time in, And head back at anytime to continue with the gambling activities. Amenities include indoor pool, hot tub, mini golf, pickleball, gameroom and entertainment areas in the lodge as well as reasonably priced store for last minute needs. I highly recommend if you are planning a stay with the AOTW that you consider trying out one of the 7 yurts and enjoy a completely different kind of stay!

Not bad, not bad at all. Visited this casino as I was charing my car at the nearby EV chargers in the parking lot. Had about 30min to spare so decided to walk in and see what the place is like. It's pretty cool, much larger than the other casinos I been too, this one was more spacious and spread out. I don't gamble much at all, but was interesting to walkin and see this place. If I ever do gamble it'd be this place id try first 😁

Keep your eye on your bets dealers don’t always pay when you win unless you speak up! Seemed like it was easier to wipe the chips off the table and only pay when someone spoke up. Makes me wonder how the dealer was “employee of the month” do they calculate money not paid out to oblivious gamblers? You’d think this stuff is better regulated with all the cameras! Seems like errors are ok but only In favor of the house. Makes me wonder what I haven’t noticed

I drive out there for several reasons. Since a lot of my friends have moved to different states and are paying $2.20 a gallon for gasoline I feel less taken advantage of buying my gas there and I really like the menu and food at Katie's Cafe there. Employees are friendly and the food is always pretty good with one exception, the gravy for biscuits or mashed potatoes is really diluted and tasteless. So before getting anything with it in the future, I will ask if they have changed it or improved it.

This is by far my favorite casino in snohomish county. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking. Great food.and unlike some other casinos who seem to just not pay out on certain times and days. Angel of the winds seems to have a very consistent and fair pay out frequincy and amount. You never really feel like you just git robbed like you do at some other casinos.

I often come to this casino, for dancing, bowling and/or gambling and it has always been my favorite casino in the region. I was there with my daughter last night, Halloween, and we started off at the main bar in the middle of the floor. I love the cocktail menu and was looking forward to another great drink. Our bartender was awful. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bartender as rude as this guy . We weren’t acknowledged for the longest time and when he did finally look our way, it seemed as if we had annoyed him. It wasn’t busy so I didn’t understand his attitude. When he did come our way, he was really rude. No greeting, no smile, no answer to our question. The drink was so so, but he apparently didn’t want to be there or perhaps he didn’t like us. I don’t know but it was odd. Considering he is in customer service and works on tips, you’d think he would at least be kind. If he doesn’t like his job, he should find a different line of work. $15 a drink at a casino where you plan on dumping money seems steep, but to be treated like we were a bother, well, I’ll spend my money elsewhere.

I have mixed emotions about this place. I loved seeing that a lot of the reptiles were being rehabilitated, and everyone seemed to be pretty healthy. However, my heart was crushed when it came to the crocs - only 2 really had room to swim, the rest could only soak. There was a really good selection though, especially snakes. We didn't pet anything because the tortoises looked tired, but I thought it was a cool thing offered. I hate zoos for keeping animals in cages; I also appreciate them for the inspiration they provide for young children to grow up ethically-minded (maybe even pursuing a career in nature preservation or veterinary care). Regardless of age, they're a great learning resource. We only went because we heard the place was closing, and we had been meaning to go since we moved to Sultan a few years ago, but life kept getting in the way. I'm sorry for the loss to the community, and to the family who runs it, and I hope all the animals that get adopted out get the same or better care than they've been getting already. I think, given the nature of the place, that they did the best they could to care for these animals, and I'm sure it'll be like saying goodbye to a family member for them. Best of luck to you all in your next endeavor!

I very much enjoyed the animals, until the staff was doing a "feeding time" demonstration in one enclosure with two very large reticulated pythons inside. One snake bit the other one when it's strike missed the dead rat being offered! (see last picture posted) It was so scary to watch, and I felt really bad for the poor snake which had to sit there with the other one clamped down on them very HARD and not letting go for like 15 minutes. And the guy working there goes, "not the first time this has happened." That's sad. Why feed them in the enclosure together then? I'm sure that hurts the snake, they have large, sharp backward curving teeth.

This place has sentimental importance to our family. My kids remember the reptile man who visited the schools with animals in tow. It’s a shame that it is closing for good. The animals in kiddie pools and other less than desirable conditions was disappointing.

Fantastic place to see reptiles! Have been coming here for years. Super sad its closing in October. Really special place.

They got some pretty rare mutated animals in here! The feeding demonstrations are also very fun. Great place to take little ones who are into reptiles.

We LOVE the reptile zoo! I have 3 boys under 5 years old and they constantly ask to go back. My friend with two girls under 4 years old also has them constantly talking about it. It’s not a huge place, but it’s a great experience. There are tortoises walking around our back that you can touch and on weekends they get out a snake and alligator to touch. I never have felt unsafe and it’s just a cool time. The owner has always been there when we have gone and is super knowledgeable and friendly.

Very beautiful place I recommend it a lot of variety and if you arrive before three you can enjoy the hour of feeding the animals

I visited Seattle Premium Outlets, and while some stores had decent deals, others felt like total rip-offs. In a few places, the price tags were clearly manipulated — they claimed 40% off, but when I peeled back the sticker, the original price underneath was actually much lower. Total price inflation 🙃… That said, if you look carefully, you can still find extra discounts here and there. So with a bit of smart shopping, you can walk away with good deals. Overall, it’s a nice spot for a light trip when you need a change of scenery.

Awesome shopping mall that has most brands on site. Great place to buy shoes and clothes. They have a food court, so when you get hungry or thirsty you can take a quick break

Visiting Seattle Premium Outlets was a pleasant surprise during my trip. As someone in my early 50s who appreciates good value without unnecessary hassle, this place checked all the boxes. The layout is easy to navigate, and the walkways are wide enough that it never felt crowded, even on a busy afternoon. The store selection is excellent — plenty of well-known brands, good discounts, and helpful staff in most shops. I especially appreciated that many stores had clear signage and organized sections, which made browsing simple and efficient. Parking was straightforward, and I liked that there were food options nearby when I needed a short break. The overall atmosphere felt clean, safe, and comfortable for visitors of all ages. If you’re visiting the Seattle area and enjoy outlet shopping, this spot is definitely worth a stop. The deals were solid, and the experience was smooth from start to finish.

The outlet mall wasn’t that big or special. It had some brand-name stores, but the prices weren’t very low. The food court also wasn’t great — just overpriced. I personally didn’t enjoy it and didn’t end up buying anything here.

Best Shopping Center around. Lots of variety including premium and popular branded clothing stores. The restrooms are maintained well. Lots of parking spaces even in busy days. I live 7 minutes away from here and I find it always worth visiting.

Popular open-air mall for discounted fashion. Great selection of many name brands. Extremely crowded, especially during the holiday season. Nevertheless the mall is very clean and tidy despite the traffic. Be prepared to get rained on since the mall is only partially covered. The food court is very small and offers little selection. Awesome holiday light show across the street.

I’ve been coming here for years. Decent outdoor outlet mall. Canadians are getting a real financial spanking with the exchange rate right now. I found a work blazer and charged the car so overall it was a fairly successful visit on our way home from Seattle.

Tulalip casinos Asian fare restaurant. I like that the menu is simple 2 page. I think for that reason, the dishes here are always consistently good quality. When I do come eat here, I do recommend the steamed halibut with ginger and soy sauce . Today we had other dishes. No complaints.

We used to love and enjoy Journeys East for their Asian cuisine, especially the high-quality (and reasonably priced) sushi. Sadly, things have changed! They've swapped out real crab in their rolls for imitation, prices have gone up, and some beloved dishes like the lobster roll and scallops with veggies are gone. Plus, the wait times are consistently 30-60+ minutes. It's a real disappointment as it's no longer the enjoyable experience it once was!

This was one of the several eateries inside the casino. It was my first time eating here as my friend had been here before. Food: 3/5 - We shared the fried rice and Pad Thai noodles. I rated the fried rice with chicken 4/5 as it was a decent portion with lots of ingredients. The Pad Thai shrimp was barely a 3/5. There was a weird vinegar taste in the noodles. It was the first time I had red cabbage served with Pad Thai noodles. The portion was smaller. It’s great that they have a menu at the front entrance. Service: 3/5 - average and friendly server Atmosphere: 4/5 - nice & clean interior. Parking: 4/5 - free parking in the parking lot Wheelchair: 5/5 - accessible for wheelchairs and walkers

Where do I start? Well, My server was great, but the food just unbelievable ZERO flavor, the chicken fried rice had boiled pieces of chicken and the rice was just flavorless. The sweet and sour Pork had the same problem, no flavor, showered with a bunch no love seasoning...give me my money back! Please make an effort to put more flavor in the meat and food. Please make it better, I will comeback in few weeks !

Love ordering family style here! Started with Vietnamese Spring Rolls with shrimp and peanut dipping sauce, came with 4pcs. Also ordered a California Roll for the sushi-lite kids at the table. Fried rice combo style is a must! Flavors are clean and lite, ready for you to add shoyu to your liking. Pad thai with chicken also had tofu in it which was a nice surprise. Beef broccoli with the choice of Chinese style or regular broccoli- we went the Chinese route of course and didnt disappoint. Ginger chicken (dark meat only) was delicious, loved how the ginger flavor was just right and not overbearing or undetectable. Oh and my favorite, a side of bok choy! Service was fast enough to stop in for a quick bite in between games, yet fully top notch to reserve for a special occassion - as we did for my birthday! Don't forget your players card for a discount on the bill!

Been here many times but first time writing a review of this restaurant. Probably everyone knows this is a very popular place. The food is absolutely great. Would recommend the combo fried rice and Bo Luc lac… Sushi is also great too. There is no complaint except for the long line wait and a limited amount of staff working

This restaurant is good. If you’re looking for sushi, they are not serving it right now. I was dissatisfied with the karaage but only because I have high expectations. The staff was friendly though so it made up for the food. I recommend the honey walnut shrimp or the chicken chow Mein.

Wished we knew about this place sooner. The rides are close together making them more accessible. The grounds were clean and beautiful. The store has so many delicious products plus toys. We paid full price, 2 seniors, 2 general & 1 pony ride at the end of August 2025. We were bummed because the food stands were all closed. We wanted to nibble as we watched out grandson & great grandson enjoy the park. Not even ice cream for sale or beverages for sale as we walked.

Went to the Psychic Salamander Festival on 9/14. It was my first visit to Remlinger Farms and I was very impressed with it as a music venue. I would definitely go again. The food options were totally sufficient, the music sounded great and the visibility was really up to where you choose to sit. We had GA tickets and had an awesome time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Remlinger Farms is such a magical place for families and kids of all ages! We had an amazing time exploring everything it has to offer. From the adorable petting zoo to the thrilling rides and delicious fresh-baked pies — this farm is a total gem just outside of Seattle. The kids especially loved the mini roller coaster and pony rides, and the berry picking was such a fun bonus! The grounds are super clean, well-organized, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. We also grabbed lunch at the café and everything was fresh and tasty — don’t skip the pie, it’s a must! 🍓🥧 Whether you’re visiting in the summer for berries or in the fall for pumpkins and the harvest festival, Remlinger Farms is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for a full day of wholesome fun!

I’ll let the initial video explain more, but we had a BLAST with the whole family a few weeks back. I wasn’t sure what to expect but there is so much to do here. We actually forgot to do pumpkins … which was the whole point! Anyway, this is now a Fall family tradition for us. Great staff and great experience!

Awesome rides for little kids! My two kids (5 and 2 year olds) had a blast! Farm is an understatement- it’s a mini wild waves full of rides geared towards little ones plus a few farm animals. Pay per person admission and get tons of rides! Great adventure!

Great place to visit with kids. Nice personal, plenty of parking. Tons of activities for kids of all ages. Extra things to purchase are Apple cannon, pony ride and zip line (each within 10$ / person ) food available in restaurant and in the park itself with seating. Pumpkin picking area is still full as of 10/12

A very cool find. Attended on a Thursday and was not very busy so no lingering waits for anything. My 11 yo and 2yo both had plenty to do. With the rides unlimited, it was a very fun visit.

This was honestly one of the most overrated experiences imaginable. Although I’ve heard people say it might have been better years ago, in its current state it’s awful. The tour started with a short video about the founder of Boeing, which was actually very interesting. Unfortunately, that was the highlight. From there, we boarded a bus to the factory, only to go down one set of stairs, then another, and stand in line multiple times before finally taking an elevator up to the viewing area. When we got there, absolutely nothing was happening in the factory. Our tour guide seemed incredibly discombobulated, barely offered any real explanations, and came across as both uninformative and a bit on the creepy side. I honestly thought this was just the beginning of the tour, but it turns out that was it—we immediately went back down the elevator, back on the bus, where we got a bunch of useless information that didn’t add much of anything. We ended up right back at the gift shop, which made the whole thing feel like it was designed more to sell merchandise than to actually show or teach us anything meaningful. We also visited the museum afterwards, which was just as underwhelming. There wasn't much going on, and you'd think we'd at least be able to sit in a cockpit or get close to an aircraft, but even that was missing. Honestly, they should rethink everything about this tour from the ground up-especially considering the price they're charging, not to mention the extra cost of getting there and back. Just a side note, there is a rooftop where you could watch the shared runway, which would be fun. But unfortunately, when we were there, it was not very active. Overall, a huge disappointment. Save your time and money.

I recently took the Boeing Factory tour near Seattle with my mom, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The service was fantastic, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, answering all our questions and sharing fascinating insights about the manufacturing process. The tour includes a guided bus ride around the factory grounds, offering an amazing view from the upper deck where you can take in the scale of the massive facility. The lower deck exhibits were also impressive, showcasing the history and technology behind Boeing’s aircraft. One of the things I really appreciated was how accommodating they were for disabled visitors, making sure everyone could enjoy the tour comfortably. Parking is free on-site, another big plus. The on-site canteen served great food at reasonable prices, with plenty of vegetarian options available, which was perfect for our needs. It’s important to note that the tour does not take you onto the actual manufacturing floor itself, so you’re observing mostly from designated balconies and open areas rather than walking alongside the assembly lines. That said, it’s still incredible to see several planes at different stages of construction. The gift shop was affordable and had some great Boeing-themed souvenirs and collectibles, definitely worth checking out after the tour. Overall, it was a fascinating, educational, and well-run tour that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in aviation or industrial manufacturing.I recently took the Boeing Factory tour near Seattle with my mom, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish.

Even so, seeing several airplanes in various stages of production up close is impressive and totally worth it. The gift shop is also well priced and offers a cool selection of Boeing-themed souvenirs and collectibles. Overall, this tour was educational, fascinating, and well-organized. I highly recommend it for anyone who’s interested in planes, aviation, or industrial manufacturing.

The tour is more about the manufacturing process and facilities. It is very interesting to see the largest building and the system. Inside the centre there is a small movie theatre and some models for display. It’s very interesting to watch planes flying around and landing from the deck. There are gift shop and snacks centre as well. Washrooms are good.

Oh wow - this is awesome for aviation freaks! Honestly: We were a group of 5 boys and we did our trip from Europe to Seattle (via. Vancouver) in Oct.2025 just because of this: Boeing production visit in Seattle, WA I would do it again!! We did the 90‘ tour and the museum downstairs and don‘t forget the terrasse upstaires! Just awesome!

If you're interested in aviation, this 80-minute airplane manufacturer tour is an absolute must-do – it's truly the best of its kind. The amount of information and history you absorb is impressive. A standout moment for me was learning that every single one of the 1,574 Boeing 747s ever produced originated at this very facility and was then transported across the bridge we drove over for its paint job. That detail evoked such wonderful nostalgia for the 'Queen of the Skies.' While Boeing has faced its share of issues, the enduring legacy and widespread affection for the 747 are undeniable; it's a truly remarkable and successful aircraft.

It was wonderful, amazing and incredible.If you pay attention, planes of that enormity are being built there, and obviously each person,or each team, is doing their own detailed work correctly so that it ultimately becomes a giant aircraft like a 777 flying in the sky. It was a really great experience for me, and I recommend you visit the factory.

I went on a Fri and had to wait about 15 mins due to arriving a few minutes after the prior tour had began. We did not buy tixs in advance. The staff was very friendly and told me about a few things I could do to pass the time until my tour began. The Flight deck was a nice was to pass time. The tour itself was not as exciting as I was expecting compared to other factory tours I have attended. If close to the area, its something to do. I enjoyed the flight deck and gift shop the most.

Probably the best WWII aircraft / equipment (and *the* best free admission) museum I've ever been to. For a museum with free admission, both the variety and preservation level of the machines there are just astounding. If you're in the Seattle area, you owe yourself a visit. And please give yourself plenty of time, they close at 4pm!

Free admission! Had a great afternoon wandering around inside - tons of space and historical planes and tanks (some are the last examples left in the world!) Greg was great and I had a good conversation with him - super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by if you have time.

I was absolutely impressed. The museum is big, has a lot of unique airplanes. Don't miss the right wing with the additional expos! Fill out the waiver and get a free access.

We have passed by this gem many times traveling I-5 and not stopped, yet this time we said let's give it an hour and try it. IT WAS AMAZING. My husband has been to many air and war museums and this one had him in awe with quality and quantity of flyable planes from across the countries as well as the tanks and other land combat vehicles. The information and displays are well done and the care and pride of the foundation and volunteers shows through. AND IT IS FREE. Go see it.

Outstanding staff. I can't believe this gem is in our backyard. My kid loves coming here. We are learning so much! Will come back soon!

Very good experience! Will go back for sure. This is the best museum of this kind I've seen and I've been to many all across America! Two thumbs up 👍

This a must stop for the military and history enthusiast. I can’t say enough good things about this museum. The staff are friendly and very willing to answer questions. The thing that I liked most was how they had the history of planes tied right back to the pilot that flew it. It made the plane not just a piece of history, it makes the history of the plane personal. The museum is free admission

Would get married here again 100000000%. We originally signed with Shirah, and she was incredibly helpful and so responsive and understanding. I truly felt taken care of. We worked with Alexis after, and she was an absolute dream to work with and incredibly kind. We are very grateful for her. Alexis was light hearted and incredibly fun on the day. She was timely, calm, understanding, clear, but also kept our timeline smooth. She made us laugh and kept our energy high. What a dream of a day! The venue itself was beautiful on the day. There were small things that did not deter our experience of the day at all due to how professional everyone was. The staff and venue did a great job making us feel calm. The venue was clean and well organized. We DIY’ed all our decorations and centerpieces, and the staff did a WONDERFUL job executing our vision. The vibe was incredible. The food was AMAZING. We had a plates service with chicken and steak. Our guests told us the steak was PERFECTLY cooked. One guest asked “how did they perfectly cook 100 steaks?” Incredibly well made food. Special shout out to our photographer Jen Thomas (Vowhouse) who took the most INCREDIBLE photos and had the most amazing vibe. I would hire here 10000000% with this venue (and any wedding). Overall, 5 stars! Best: the venue, the intimacy, the wonderful ladies we’ve been working with. Pro or con (depending on your vibe haha): the pours were on the heavier side and some of our guests got pretty drunk 😅 Not the worst thing and not on the staff at all! We had some tomfoolery from our guests we will remember forever hahaha

Larissa at Columbia Collective is a great partner when planning a wedding for clients. She brings so much experience to the table and was so helpful! Columbia collective is such a beautiful venue and their service staff is top notch!! As a wedding planner it’s always so nice to work with such a professional and awesome team!

We got married here on 5.24.25 and it was a dream! The venue is gorgeous, the staff was so polite and gracious, Alexis the day of coordinator was amazing! The wedding was perfect and we loved having it at Columbia Collective!

As a wedding DJ, I’ve had the privilege of performing at countless venues across the Pacific Northwest, and Columbia Collective in Woodinville stands out as one of the best. It’s a stunning, spacious location right in the heart of wine country — the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable celebration. From a vendor’s perspective, this venue truly checks all the boxes. The layout is ideal for both ceremonies and receptions, with smooth transitions between spaces and plenty of room for dancing. The acoustics are great, the load-in is convenient, and the staff is always friendly, professional, and accommodating — which makes a huge difference on a busy wedding day. Beyond the logistics, Columbia Collective simply feels special. The mix of modern elegance and vineyard charm creates an amazing atmosphere that guests (and DJs!) love. Every event I’ve worked there has been beautifully executed and full of great energy from start to finish. If you’re planning a wedding in the Woodinville wine valleys, I can’t recommend Columbia Collective enough. It’s a dream venue for couples and vendors alike!

As a wedding photographer, I was absolutely astounded by Columbia Collective in Woodinville! This venue has so many unique spaces that feel like little discoveries throughout the day. There’s a bespoke bar, a grand ballroom filled with natural light, and my personal favorite—the barrel room, hidden down a secret stairway that opens into a massive space with walls of wine barrels. I photographed a spring wedding here, and every part of the celebration flowed beautifully. Guests enjoyed cocktail hour out on the patio, and the couple was especially excited about their unique photo from the balcony overlooking the entryway (such a fun perspective!). The staff was accommodating, cheerful, and welcoming from start to finish—I could tell the couple and their guests felt so well cared for. Each transition from one space to the next felt like a reveal, which made the day feel like an experience rather than just an event. And being right in the heart of Woodinville wine country made it even more special for the couple, who love going wine tasting in the area. Columbia Collective is truly a gem for weddings—photogenic, versatile, and unforgettable!

Our daughter's wedding could not have been any more perfect or special. Our wedding coordinator, Larissa, was very instrumental in making it a perfect event. Her planning, recommendations, organization, and support the day of the wedding were top notch. When people say, “We couldn’t have done it without you” it is often cliché. Not in our case, we really could not have done it without Larissa. We are so very appreciative of everything she did for us. We've received numerous compliments on the food- everything was delicious and warm. There was plenty of staff and they were very accommodating. I highly recommend Columbia Collective (and Larissa). --Deb Selby, Mother of the Bride

As a wedding DJ this venue hits all the marks. Perfect indoor space where you feel open and great flow from dinners tabes to dance floor - tall ceiling always make an impact . The large doors open out to the patio for cocktail hour is always a great design. The lawn for the ceremony is perfectly manicured with openness and privacy. If you are looking for Woodenville this is the best spot. DJ Darius Groove on Hyde Street DJs

Had an AMAZING experience lunch here yesterday. Would highly recommend. Good was great and so was our host. I also saw goo goo dolls here and loved the venue. They were very organized getting people in and you could bring your own wine purchased onsite. No need a screw top…they have wine barrels with screws inside to help open your bottles. Food choices inside the concert were also great. Overall great venue to spend a couple of days.

I would like to guide you to this beautiful winery. Its been 25 years since I have been here. The fish ponds are empty and the peacocks are gone, however, more activity and people means change. There is a large concert area and a restaurant now...But... the charm remains. Picnic areas, shady tree covered chill out areas and community awaits you. Free to enter, free to park. You must try the wine, order a charcuterie board or put together your own from the little store. Worth the visit.

My absolute favorite outdoor concert venue in the Seattle area during the summer and cozy indoor wine tasting all year long. Amazing events + food, absolutely incredible wine and the best ambiance around!

My husband and I went in for their September Feature Flight and had a great experience. We enjoyed the wines and all of the knowledge that Emilie shared with us. Walking around the stunning grounds was an added bonus.

Ste. Michelle was an amazing wine tasting experience with quite impressive grounds/atmosphere. The whole site is well appointed and beautifully presented. We did a VIP tasting package and had an outstanding experience with our guide Anders. Highly recommend the VIP tasting or just grabbing a glass during a visit. Will be back!

The Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville is a very large sprawling complex of buildings, open spaces and, the reason I went here, an outdoor concerts venue. I can't comment on the inside of the winery as I did not enter any buildings. The outdoor open space is beautiful and kept very well manicured. I went to the concert venue to see Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms play in the middle of August on a day when it was sunny and 89 degrees. There are two entry gates to access the concert venue. The north entry opens right up to the side and front of the stage. The south entry is a few minutes walk to get to the seating area. I went to the north gate entry. For parking, you have to get there when they open the lots up to get good parking. Ideally, you want to park close to the north entry gate. There is ADA parking close to the north gate. Most of the parking spaces are in full sun, so bring a car sun screen for your front window. I got there when the lots opened, so I parked very close to the entry gate and in the shade of a tree. After walking a short distance through the grounds, I waited in a very sunny and hot line to go through security when the gates opened which was about an hour of waiting. There is also an ADA line. Most people brought their short lawn chairs and sat in a shady grassy area where the line would enter. Event security is very helpful and answered all my questions happily as this was my first trip to the winery. There are also many police and bomb squad personnel around the crowd and winery for your safety. Once inside the amphitheater, you pass by the merchandise table to buy concert merch while all sizes of t-shirts and other merch are available; waiting until the end of the concert gives you limited merch to choose from as much merch has been sold by then. My seat was near the back of the reserved seats and came with a high back folding seat already in place and with a great view of the stage. Those who brought low back short lawn chairs sat in the grassy area behind the reserved seats. The venue only seats 4500 people so it is a great small place to watch a concert. Sealed outside water bottles are permitted through security and there are water filling station to refill your bottle when empty. No outside alcohol is allowed. Inside the concert area you can purchase the winery's vintages from tables that also open the bottle for you and supply plastic cups. There are food options available at the back of the concert area with stalls selling BBQ (delicious!), Mexican food (got a small bone in my beef taco), cold ice cream among a few other types of food. The sound system at the concert is very good and powerful; you can actually feel the bass booming through your chest! The concert was absolutely incredible sounding with great views of the raised stage. The slope of the amphitheater is gentle not steep. Buy the reserved seats if you can afford them unless you want to bring a small blanket and picnic basket of food with you sitting in the lawn area. Outside food is permitted through security for your culinary enjoyment. The whole venue is in full sun and can be quite hot until the sun goes down behind the trees. Because the concert area is so relatively small, this place is a great way to enjoy a concert by some big name artists every Summer. I highly recommend coming to watch a concert here.

I went for the wine tasting with a couple of friends. You can make a reservation or walk in if they have available spots. We did the Take Away Flights for $30. The service is great and you get to choose 4 selections from the menu. Here’s my perspective on the different wines we tasted. P.S., I don’t have any professional education with reviewing wines so take it with a grain of salt. 2019 Muscat Canelli - tastes sweet but not as sweet as a dessert wine 2023 Le Rose - tastes dry and watery 2024 Midsummer White - tastes like apricot and beer; too much hoops 2019 Canoe Chardonnay - very nice light Chardonnay; Chardonnay is a drier wine 2018 Cinsaut - my friend said it’s is a good mix of sweet and sour and the other one hated it because she doesn’t like red wine

Great place to catch a bird of prey doing what they do. Also so many more beautiful things to see.

Absolutely wonderful place to take a nature walk and see lots of different birds and wildlife. Great for photographers! It's a very well maintained park with restrooms. The big issue can be off leash dogs, random piles of dog poop that haven't been picked up, and underground bee nests.

It's a beautiful and serene spot. The long wooden deck that extends over the lake is the highlight, offering a fantastic place to walk and enjoy the views. The park is very quiet and feels like a peaceful escape. I saw many people with cameras, and it's easy to see why—the views of the lake and the surrounding greenery are stunning. There’s a convenient parking lot and a restroom at the entrance, which is a big plus. I also appreciated the long path with benches that leads north to another park and shopping area. This is a perfect place for a relaxing stroll and some great photos.

This is my happy place! Such a precious place!! Many impressive birds (eagles, osprey) and other wildlife like beavers and otters. Truly urban wildlife at its finest.

A good place to walk with my dog. The trails are easy and scenic.

Easily my favorite beach park to go to for a long walk and a view. Paddle boarding is accessible and affordable at this beach. The short walk through the woods allows a new perspective of the wildlife. I saw a blue heron there once! Parking can be crowded so the overflow lot is helpful. I wish they had a dog park area for my dogs to play!

Not a good park. Not maintained properly. Evening time is peaceful here.

We went in on a Saturday. It wasn't crowded. Good collection in the display and an audio tour we can listen along as we move through the exhibits.

An interactive museum, well-equipped and educational. Excellent for taking small children, as it has a children's area. I liked that, despite having two floors, it has a wheelchair for guests to climb if needed. It's a quick tour; I highly recommend visiting.

Amazing! This is a must see whenever you are in Friday Harbor! Kids & adults, so much to learn, experience and explore. The gift shop has something for everyone 💙💚💙

My partner and I came here for our third anniversary. We both thought this was one of the best museums we’ve ever been to. The staff are clearly enthusiastic and well-informed about marine life. The exhibits upstairs are curated with extraordinary care for the animals that they depict. In particular, the interactive phone booth in the corner was clever. It was a wonderful way to hear the animals through a “filter” — the phone’s antiquated crackle and sense of distance — as a simulation, perhaps, of the underwater transmittance of that information. We had a lovely time. Thank you for having us!

The museum was very informative and have really cool exhibits. The woman working there was very nice and friendly as well. I also really liked the unique finds in the giftshop that had many items from local artists

GOOD AT EDUCATION BUT MUSEUM NEEDS AN UPGRADE The people here are passionate about educating humans on these wonderful creatures and what can be done to protect them. However, the museum itself looks like it's from 1992 with very little interactivity and, in this day and age, that's expected. I hope they receive funding to update, as this is the perfect spot to learn about whales and then go out and see them in their natural habitat. On the plus side, the gift shop was good with a nice range of products.

Informative museum focused on conservation and respectful, careful study of and interaction with marine wildlife (especially whales). The exhibits are interesting, and there's lots to read about whales on the self-guided tour. Experience standing inside the ribcage of an orca, seeing a whale brain vs. a human brain, listening to whale calls, and other interesting and interactive displays. There's also a nice little gift shop and videos about whales. Well worth a visit.

Road the trail from lake forest park to gasworks park. Awesome trail, paved, flat, beautiful scenery with lots of ebikes, bikes, dogwalkers, runners and walkers when the weather is nice.

Wow, that trail was incredible! We started at Log Boom Park and rode all the way to Gas Works Park on Lake Union. It was a 24-mile round trip, and it was such a lovely trail with amazing views. We’re definitely going back again! The only thing that bugged me was that a lot of people were walking or stopping on the right side of the trail, blocking the path for us. It would be great if everyone could be considerate and stay on the right side when going in the same direction as everyone else. It’s like driving people, haha!

Shady, paved, well-maintained trail for walkers, runners, and bikes. Well used but not worn. Easy access, no steep slopes.

Not a bad walk. Would be better if you had better views of the water and less traffic noise in parts but overall is an ok walk. May be better to cycle than walk to get to other parts of the trail faster.

Love this higher speeds trail for skateboarding 🛹 it’s so good.😊

The bikers who ride this trail are completely ignorant and negligent to anything but themselves. One woman today, literally ran into my wife as we walked along the sidewalk on 40th Ave because even though there is a stop sign on either side FOR THE BIKE TRAIL all of these entitled bikers choose to completely ignore them. I’ve witnessed numerous of them nearly struck by cars. Odd world we live in when people don’t care about endangering others or themselves.

The segment from Kenmore to Matthews beach is good for walking, running, or biking, as it's flat with minimal crossing streets. The views could be better (it's mostly people's backyards on this segment, to be honest), but it's still a good place for a long walk/ride/run. The trail supports about 3-4 people across, and traffic gets a little high on weekends, so if you go, be sure and mind your trail manners: Bikers - The speed limit is 15 mph and you have to yield to pedestrians. It is not uncommon to get buzzed by packs of road cyclists going way over 15. Runners - Stay to the right, even if the unofficial dirt path you want to run in is on the other side of the trail. I often see people running 2 wide on the left side just so 1 of them can be on the dirt and it creates lots of problems. Walkers - You have ultimate ROW, but please don't abuse it. If you want to stop and chat, move to the side so others can pass. Dog Walkers - Keep your pets close to you and on the right side of the trail if possible. I see near-collisions with dogs almost every time I go out. And please don't hang poop bags on fences.

This area has absolutely great potential to showcase more of the history. The signage and visitor center was very minimal compared to the American Camp on the island. The buildings that remain appeared to house equipment and extra furniture. It would be nice to have those buildings open up and appear like it once was during the time of operating. The trails were marked very little and there we did not see one guide while we were there on Friday, mid day. The English garden was beautiful and many flowers were in bloom. It appeared well maintained. This park has so much potential. If you travel to the American camp too you will see the stark differences.

This review is for the hike up to Young Hill, not the visitor center. Beautiful views toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island. Moderate hike with a brief steep section.

Went to the English Camp in August and it was a fun stop along our trip. The video in the visitor center is worth the watch to learn about the camp and the area. We had kids with us, and what made the English Camp fun for them was taking part in the Junior Park Ranger program. We asked for the activity guide, completed it while we explored the park, and then the kids pledged to keep parks safe which earned them a park ranger badge.

The English Camp Parade Ground is located on Garrison Bay, in the northwest corner of San Juan Island. Since time immemorial, Lummi, W̱SÁNEĆ, Songhees, Clallam, and other Coast Salish people traveled by canoe to the village site some call Pe'pi'ow'elh, Smiuth, and the Lummi Creation Island. When the Royal Marines landed at English Camp, the longhouse was torn down, and used for the military barracks, and fences. Also, the burial site on Gus Island was burned down. Archeologists removed many items to the Burke Museum and recorded that the village site showed years of a living culture as the grounds were filled with clam middens that averaged ten feet high, from thirty-five to forty feet through, by 120 yards long. The shell middens were used to pave the parade grounds at English Camp and pathways to the officers quarters.

The Pig War has to be one of the most hilarious historical events I’ve ever read about. We weren’t able to visit the opposing “American Camp” but will definitely do so next time. The lady working at the Visitor Center was so kind and went out of her way to outline a path for us to take a stroll. Thank you English Camp for making our Saturday at Friday Harbor!

Beautiful preserved and enlightening historical park! The trails were well kept and neat. 🌲🥾 Aside from hiking, there is also a stunning formal garden and a blockhouse! It's pretty cool to see the houses across the bay, and the tree-covered Guss Island!

We had a special surprise. A Native tribe was having a ceremony when we arrived. We were told that it was the first native ceremony on that land in 200 years. It was very interesting and educational.

The memorial has been erected in the beginning of this massive graveyard as a tribute to the great guitarist. The memorial has pictures of the guitarist etched into stone, while a metal guitar has been placed right in the middle. The memorial is in a multi faith graveyard in the city of Renton. Free parking is available in the graveyard’s own car park. The memorial is only a few hundred feet walk from the car park and is visible from the car park.

⭐️ Jimi Hendrix Memorial – Renton, WA While visiting the Seattle area, I took the chance to stop by the resting place of one of the greatest rock & guitar icons of all time. 🎸 The memorial is easy to find — located inside Greenwood Memorial Park with free and spacious parking right by the entrance. From there, it’s just a short 2–3 minute walk to the site. The monument itself is impressive — large, clean, and beautifully maintained. You can walk inside the small dome, see the metal guitar sculpture, and admire the detailed engravings, portraits, and personal tributes left by fans from all over the world. It’s a powerful and emotional experience, especially for anyone who loves music and history. 🎶 A true pilgrimage spot for rock fans visiting Seattle. 💜 #JimiHendrix #Seattle #Renton #MusicLegends #RockHistory

Found this totally by accident. So very happy I was able to go there before my flight out of Seattle. Beautiful serene memorial to one of the greatest guitar legends of all time.

This memorial is really beautiful, well kept, free to pay your respects 🙏 Also in general this is also a beautiful Park/memorial Greenwood park and funeral home It is a beautiful place lots of beautiful memorials, peaceful, did not feel uncomfortable about walking around Free.

A very nice, clean and quiet cemetery. We drove all the way from Texas and finally made it to see Hendrix Memorial. Its so worth the visit.

If you're in the neighborhood, you should definitely go see this memorial. Truly beautiful tribute to Jimi and his family too, as his folks are buried there as well.

It was a privilege to pay my respects to a man who's gifts have brought me so much joy over the years. I am glad he has such a place to rest.

Wonderful park where you can even watch the planes from the sea fair weekend. Parking is tight though. When we came, there were multiple barbecue areas still empty yet the parking lot was very full so parking is tight. There is a load and unload area though which is convenient. I’m playground for all ages

Gene Coulin Park on Lake Washington is an extensive park with a multitude of facilities! Sand volleyball courts, tennis courts, large children's play ground, many picnic tables and grills set upon grass under the trees. They have a sand beach with swimming, boat launches, burger shack, Ivar's Seafood Bar, many tables under a long cover on the waters edge. There is also Bird Island with a board walk around it. There are many interpretive signs explaining the history of Bird Island and how it has been restored to help the juvenile salmon. Altogether, a wonderful park with something for everyone!!

Its a very nice area but they didn't think though their parking lot/planning very well. I get people have boats but there needs to be more parking for cars that are using the boat launch without a boat. A ticket for parking in that lot is insaine if your using that areas service's. There is no other parking for people meeting people at the dock. The parking enforcement lady was very rude and didn't care as she pointed at signs that only say parking for dock use. Not parking for boat trailers! Great playground. Lots of restrooms. Great views.

DOGS are NOTS allowed at this park. Because we had ours, we did not walk the water front. We did however walk the tree lined drive. It was beautiful. We did notice a ton of geese and the sidewalks were covered in goose poop. That really sucked.

Beauuutiful park and trail! Sunset is a must watch from this area. Lot of picnic areas, beach area, walking trails. There is a seafood bar and food spot. Restrooms are available.

I enjoy coming here often come here and enjoy sitting to watch the sun set but if your up for a 4 hour walk you can make it to Bellevue 🤣 it's a nice path.

This is one of my favorite parks, it is beautiful, large park so ot doesn't feel crowded On lake washington, pier walk on lake with lots of seating on sides, boat launch, fishing, pavilions, play ground, beach area swim area, boat launch (there is a charge for boat launch) Lots of scenic views Next to Boeing

Loved this place, found it very peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. This place is insanely beautiful and massive. It just keeps going and going. Thought we'd be able to see it all but ran out of time, maybe next time. It's a good waking place for all ages and tons to see and take in. Kids will probably like the fish they have there in the ponds. There are tons of cool bridges to cross over and paths that feel like you're in a whole other world. Truly is a work of art, and I'm thankful that this place is here. Grate place for portrait photos or nature photos. Loved being able to walk and explore at no cost. Cool that it doesn't cost any money.

Fascinating Japanese garden! Beautiful well designed landscape with various creature like fish ,turtle and duck. There are a sign said beware of coyotes too. A beautiful and peaceful garden to relax. Worth a visit! Though I have seen many review that some people got their car window broken in board day light with no CCTV around so please beware. Do not left your valuable things or anythings in the car.

Such a wonderful way to spend a few hours. Hard to believe this is a free (donations encouraged) City run park, bigger and with more trails than even the Japanese Garden within the Washington Park Arboretum. While there aren't too many flowers blooming in the fall, the changing leaves make for spectacular vista. So many ponds and bridges and little creek crossings make this place feel like your own personal hidden garden. Take some snacks and find one of the many picnic spots to relax for awhile. Highly recommend visiting!

The garden is stunning and beautiful. It's so much bigger than the Japanese garden in the Arboretum in Seattle and very well designed. The fall colors were in full show today and we were very glad we went. Even managed to get a nice shot of the iconic Japanese maple. Parking was slightly challenging but patience helped and by the time we left around 1:30 pm a lot more slots had opened up. Definitely worth a visit and please take the time to donate to ensure the organization can keep the garden accessible to the public.

It's a lovely park. If I lived closer, I'd visit more often. Not too big, but feels both spacious and intimate. So many beautiful areas to appreciate and photograph.

If I were a local here, I would definitely come every weekend. There’s so much to do, and the walks surrounded by greenery and fresh air are amazing. I can’t even imagine how beautiful it must be in the springtime.

Kubota Garden is a free, hidden gem in the middle of southern Seattle. Even in the rain it was beautiful and the guided tour was informative and interesting. Would highly recommend during any season as the docents said we should come back to see it at other times of the year, even in the winter. There was also plenty of parking.

Simply amazing and a not to be missed museum if you are around Seattle area. This is a true treat for anyone with a slight interest in aviation. The museum has so much to offer and if you really want to get the most out of your visit then please do block at least 4 hours to visit the entire place. The museum has a huge free parking lot which is super convenient. The tickets can be purchased based online or at site. There are four major sections where you can see and experience different air crafts. The best is the one across the road where you can actually walk in to larger planes such as the Concord, older Air Force one, and the Jumbo 747s. There are other sections where you can see the first Boeing jets, older and existing fighter jets, visit the control tower. There is red barn area where the history of the Boeing factory is displayed.also they have a few dedicated areas for space program and associated shuttles developed by Boeing. There is a section for the world war era planes and a lot of history depicted. There is a gift shop and restaurant as well. Highly recommend a visit to this

Great collection of (historical) planes, and all kind of info from the (history) of flight and space travel up the artistic Mig21-project. Uniquely located besides Boeing Airfield and Inclusive the Pavilion hangar several ( big); planes with several of them accesable. You actually should stay more than a day.

This is a must see in Seattle. Tons of exhibits, cool full motion flight simulators, and an amazing gift shop. Pros: Tons of aircraft from all over the world. Contains some insane collections. You are able to enter most planes, like the first 747, the Concorde, a US Air 737-200, Air Force one, and a Boeing 787-8. Flight simulators are very fun as they are full motion. Gift shop has an incredible selection of model planes and other items. Guided tours are available to you for no cost. Cafe food is amazing, with plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Parking lot is great for planespotting at KBFI. Cons: Some planes are inaccessible, which is rather disappointing. I was hoping to be able to see the interior of the United 727 and the NASA 737-100. Unfortunately, the upper deck of the 747 is also closed, which is a small disappointment. Flight simulator is understaffed so it takes a while to enter. Also, for the museum being all about Boeing, there were no airliner simulators, which I found disappointing. The museum is geared more towards the public fascination with fighter jets and tends to forget about the airliners. (Not to say there weren’t any, there were plenty). Not the museum’s fault, but it is a shame that you cannot see the Boeing test aircraft from the ground. Definitely recommend visiting.

The collection is excellent and very well documented. The obvious star of the show is across the bridge at the outdoor displays! The walk through aircraft are well set up, and the docents were knowledgeable and polite. It's an awesome experience to physically be in something like the concord or an old air force one. Definitely worth the ticket price and parking was easy.

It's a place worth visiting, especially if you are an aviation fan, you will feel very magical. Seeing your favorite plane appear in front of you, you will feel very emotional. You will feel that time flies in it. Whether you bring your family or friends, it is worth coming here. Highly recommended.😍😁

The Museum of Flight in Seattle is a fantastic destination for aviation enthusiasts, but it urgently needs more Mandarin Chinese audio guides and on-site interpretations. Our group of 10 Chinese visitors recently explored the museum and were disappointed to find a lack of adequate Mandarin services. Given the growing number of Chinese tourists and local Chinese residents interested in aviation history, providing comprehensive Mandarin explanations is not only necessary but also crucial to enhancing the visiting experience for Chinese-speaking guests. We sincerely hope the museum can address this gap to make its amazing collections and exhibits more accessible to the Chinese community.

This museum has everything when it comes to flying/airplanes. Lots to see! The collection of aircraft was impressive from historic warplanes to modern jets, each exhibit was well-maintained and had informative displays. I especially enjoyed the interactive sections and flight simulators, which added a fun hands-on experience. Definitely a worthy experience!

Such a beautiful garden! Definitely want to come back and explore more of the gardens and land. Highly recommend if you are ever in Bainbridge, it's worth the ferry from Seattle to go over here. Just make sure to have a reservation beforehand

The promenade through the gardens was nice, though I would have liked the water ponds to be cleaner. I bet every season the gardens look different, and that’s part of its beauty. The grass was pretty dry throughout. I wonder if the staff is allowed to water. There was an area that was burnt down for soil management.

Beautiful, magnificent, incredibly well-maintained. Grounds were phenomenal and I can only imagine how gorgeous it is in the spring when the rhododendrons are in bloom. Great for a stopping point on a Bainbridge excursion day, but would not pay $120 for 4 people again. We walked the whole grounds in under an hour and did not feel like the cost justified the experience.

A Magical Wedding at Bloedel Reserve I had the absolute pleasure of helping execute a flawless, beautiful wedding at Bloedel Reserve, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The garden and organic spaces surrounding the couple created the perfect backdrop for the first-ever micro wedding at this stunning venue. The serene atmosphere and natural beauty of the Reserve were all that was needed to make the day truly magical. I am deeply grateful for the incredible support and attention to detail that Sally provided throughout the planning process. Her thorough follow-through, expertise in hosting, and deep respect for preserving the pristine spaces made all the difference in creating a seamless event. Sally is not only highly knowledgeable about the venue, but she’s also an absolute joy to work with on the wedding day. Her calm demeanor and professionalism helped keep everything running smoothly, which was invaluable in bringing the couple’s vision to life. Bloedel Reserve is truly a fairytale space, and I hope to be available to host and plan more weddings there in the future. It’s one of the most magical venues I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and I can’t wait to collaborate again. Thank you to Sally and the team for supporting in making the first micro wedding an unforgettable event!

The Bloedel reserve is definitely the highlight of visiting baymbridge island. My wife and I have been members for several years.And always take people there to visit. Allow 1.5 to 2hrs hours to get a great experience. Our favorite spot was the moss garden and the reflection pool.

Great place for families. The place is quiet and there are a lot of things to see. Plan to spend about 1.5 hours here if you're just strolling through or 2+ hours if you're stopping to take lots of pictures. It wasn't too crowded even on a weekend due to the ticket reservation system. Recommend buying your tickets a head of time!

My wife and I went for an event and we were very pleased with the setting. There was plenty of room to sit, enjoy the music, and relax. There were food vendors for all tastes and artists showing (and selling) some pieces. I would recommend buying tickets, for entrance, in advance as the event was sold out!

* My previous review was deleted * Spent my birthday here and had a really relaxing stay. The hotel was spotless, peaceful, and the bed—spacious, clean, and super comfy. I loved the little welcome message on the TV, the sleek coffee machine with tons of options, cozy robes in the closet, and the huge, gorgeously clean bathroom. The gym and game room were also great additions. The casino itself is decent. My husband and I have been coming for years—we’ve won a few hundred here and there, but still chasing that jackpot! Minus one star for the smoking. I really wish they had a designated, heated outdoor smoking area like a couple of other casinos we frequent. The entire main casino is non-smoking, but the smoke still lingers a bit. Overall, it is a solid experience—clean, modern, and enjoyable.

Ate at the Muckelshoot Restaurant on 05/12/25 at 8:30pm to experience their 8oz Prime Rib meal (see photos). I have ordered this in the past and always had an enjoyable experience. This time however, when the dish came out, I was sorely disappointed to see how thin the slice of the Prime Rib cut was and it was a fatty one too! Any thinner and it would be a deli slice for the Prime Rib sandwich. I complained to the waitress and the manager. The manager said she spoke with the chef and the cut was weighed at 8oz but this must have been on the low end of 8oz. All that came with this $30 meal was one side, and I ordered their fully loaded baked potato. Shocker, the size of the potato was small as well. In previous visits, the Prime Rib meal came with at least two sides, and I would order baked potato and steamed veggies. Needless to say, I don’t believe the Muckelshoot is living up to its “Best in the Pacific Northwest” (Seattle Times) as they so proudly advertise. Perhaps it should be changed to “Cheapest in the Northwest.” I do not plan to eat here any longer and for my Prime Rib will go to other places. Based on this experience, I don’t want to try their salmon meals either. Perhaps it will lead me to leaving hungry too, and I am a relatively light eater. Customers should not have to leave any restaurant paying $30+ for a meal that is so unsatisfactory!

We had a wonderful stay here. Very nice place. I was not expecting it to be so big. I was expecting a tiny run-down Hotel. It was clean. Staff is friendly. The parking lot is massive. Expect a long walk if you don't use valet parking. Even if you're not gambling and just staying at the hotel, which is what we were doing, you have to show ID every time you walk into place. It was annoying when we went out shopping for the day and came back to our hotel room with bags and bags of stuff and got stopped and hassled for ID. I think they should be checking for ID before you walk onto the casino floor. Not before you go up to your room. The food here was absolutely terrible. All of the restaurants are extremely overpriced. We did get a discount because the people beside us were blasting music all night long. We did call the front desk to complain at 2:00 a.m. and at 3 a.m. because our walls were literally pounding. We heard security come up a few times and knock on their door but the music didn't stop. They offered to move us to another room. I don't think I should have to pack up all of my belongings and carry all my stuff to a new room while I'm my PJs half asleep. That's a great way to lose stuff. At 3:00 a.m. I'm not going to remember to pack the stuff in the fridge or the chargers I have plugged into the wall. I think it would have been better if they offered to move the people blasting the music who were clearly still awake at 3 a.m. They were the problem. They should have the inconvenience of having to pack and traverse through the Halls to a new room. I don't blame the resort for the music but I think they could have handled it better for us. I did appreciate the discount though. I wasn't expecting that.

This is a large casino. It has a parking garage. If you stay in the hotel, it’s quite the adventure. You can either pay to valet or park in the large parking garage. Then you must carry all your luggage through the parking garage, into the elevator and then finally into the casino. When you get to the casino, be prepared to have your ID out and ready and get checked by security. Don’t be like me and have to put all your luggage down and go searching through all your stuff for it. Then you take all of your luggage and your children on another adventure along the green carpet maze through the casino. All of the adults playing the slot machine look at you funny as you’re walking in between machines to go to the hotel room. You must use your hotel key to get into the elevator or anywhere you go (swimming pool, etc). The casino resort has many options for dining which is nice. There is a spa, swimming pool and jacuzzi on the second floor which are all nice. Only thing I would recommend is to have better access for hotel guests. Other than that, it’s a nice place with many accommodations. Kids had fun in the pool. There’s a large space with outdoor and indoor area to lounge.

I stayed at the hotel for two nights for a meeting and was pleased with the modern touches. Room was spacious and the bed comfortable. There's a coffee stand by the elevators, and the folks there were very nice and make a good coffee, although the Nespresso machine in the room also made good coffee (but I needed a to go coffee for my meeting). Free valet parking was much appreciated as well. I'm not sure what the regular rates are, but we got a special rate as the meeting was hosted by Muckleshoot. But the rate I paid made for a nice experience.

Went for the 1st Annual Car Show. Was pretty packed, but parked across the street and walked in. Had a good time with the kiddo. Can't wait for next year!

Super fun, great free live music and dancing. The room was nice, clean. They should have a way for you to check in and then park in the garage so you don't have to haul all your bags through the casino. This hotel could teach Vegas a thing or two about elevators! The request pad tells you which number elevator you are going to get and they are wicked fast.

A small museum full of art from local artist’s. Extensive gift shop and some things to look at. Overall, I spent maybe an hour checking out all the art pieces with my friend. I like how it works on a donation bases! The photo is from the last time I visited and the exhibits have changed around some! Love this place! And like how it supports local artist, which is so important for the community!

I didn’t know what to expect from a small-town art museum, but Bainbridge Island Museum of Art was a really pleasant surprise. The space is modern, open, and free to enter — which already earns points. The exhibits focus on contemporary artists and themes like social justice, identity, and the environment. Some pieces were bold, some confusing, some really moving. There was also an interactive poster printing workshop when we visited, which made the whole experience feel alive and hands-on. It’s not a huge museum, but it packs personality. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re on the island.

This place is amazing. Everyone was so kind. This place was a true gem. It's near the water and close to the ferry. The paintings are made by local artists. You're supporting the community by going here. It was pretty quiet when I went and I was so grateful that this place was free. It has a calming atmosphere and I hope you get to visit this place.

Quaint local gallery featuring work from artists who live on the Island. This is a free exhibit with a friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I am totally gaga over this place. Each selection felt especially made for me by someone who took special interest in my enjoyment. Reserved online, so the walk from the ferry was timed perfectly. Just Wow!! 😍🤩💜

No tickets needed. Had several artists displayed. Me and my 11 yo son enjoyed it.

Great little museum and is free. The art was beautiful. There is a place on museum to get snacks and drinks too if you need it.

The Pacific Bonsai Museum is a beloved and well-known destination for art and nature lovers alike—and for good reason. This peaceful, outdoor museum offers a stunning collection of bonsai trees, each one carefully cultivated and uniquely captivating. Admission is free, though a $12 donation per person is suggested and truly well deserved. Donations can be made by cash or charge card, making it easy to support this beautiful space. The winding path through the display feels like a quiet journey, with each turn revealing a new treasure. Interactive elements like a scavenger hunt, a hands-on “how to wire a tree” activity, and informative plaques make it engaging for all ages. During our visit, we were lucky to catch what looked to be a special exhibit featuring refurbished dead bonsai trees transformed into intricate, imaginative tree houses—fascinating and beautifully crafted. The museum also features clean, accessible restrooms and a small gift shop with thoughtful items. A few handicap parking spots and a convenient drop-off area at the entrance are available, with general parking being a short walk down a hill. This unique museum is truly an enriching and memorable experience!

What a beautiful Bonsai museum with about 40-50 Bonsai on display. So cool with origin dates ranging 990 to 2000's. Loved seeing the history and details on the plaques. The parking and stroll was easy for my son and grandma. Heard they rotate the Bonsai each season so will definitely be back. Thank you!

A walk in the tall pine forest interrupted by these miniature little bonsai trees 🤣. While many if these bonsai are from our last Century , a few go back intime , how far back ? Ok, before Christopher Colombus , before, Marco Polo, before William Wallace and even before Genghis Khan ! Yes, this caught our attention too !!! What was going on around 900 A.D., one of these bonsai sprung to Life then. Ok, the climate here in the Pacific Northwest rocks !!! Literally, just take a look at Mt. Rainier. The temperatures , precip , soils , care, management and these treasures will continue indefinetly. Seeing is believing and we had a free parking day ! Enjoy these photo shares and then see then when you can, now is a great time ( Sept 27, 2025 )

2nd visit to the Pacific Bonsai Museum outside Seattle in September after a cruise. The place was lovelier than ever! The trees are very well maintained. Their displays are outstanding and highlight a fewer number of bonsai at the best time for viewing. Small Talk runs through Nov 7 and has some AMAZING educational posters

One of just a few bonsai museums in the country, and will with the time to visit. Go slow and appreciate the decades that these trees have been being shaped. An hour is plenty of time to stop and appreciate all the unique creations and read the signage. My only request wild be that they put up more signage with more detailed histories of each tree on display. Don't forget to stop by in October to see the fall colors!

The Pacific Bonsai museum is one of the 2 bonsai museums in the USA. It's outdoor setting among the old growth firs on the former Weyerhaeuser headquarters campus is peaceful and serene. Magnificent specimens, some over 100 years old. Informed, friendly staff. A must see in the Pacific Northwest!

The bonsai museum is a free enterance and you can leave a donation even with a card. Great fun informational boards about bonsai. Wonderful nature with insightful knowledge

This place is magical and gorgeous. I went a week before the lavender festival. It wasn’t crowded and I was able to take many photos and relax under the willow tree and enjoy the rows of lavender. The bees are so cute and happy. The gift shop has many cute things to take home. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning place. It's popular but not necessarily crowded, so you can take many beautiful photos and enjoy walking around the quiet lavender fields.They also have a gift shop with many lavender products made locally and a drink station that sells lavender lemonade and ice cream. The lavender lemonade was delicious. I definitely recommend getting one on your next visit here.

Free to visit and wander the peaceful endless rows of purple lavender with picturesque farmhouses in the background. It’s a. Wonderful place for photos. There’s benches to relax . A gift shop to purchase lavender products and $5 to pick a bundle of U-pick lavender.

Beautiful, peaceful setting close to town with a gift shop, treats & pick your own lavender.

Absolutely gorgeous spot for lavender. Highly recommend coming here mid July (before the festival if you want to avoid crowds). They had a cute gift shop, a few picturesque fields to explore, an ice cream and lemonade stand that had various lavender flavors. A very dreamy day was spent here (took my mom on a flower date) and the smell of lavender surrounded us. I felt like laying down and never leaving. Will definitely return annually!

Phenomenal experience. Lots of lavender with great varieties and colors. The lavender ice cream is great. The shop has a lot to offer. Their behaviour and service is very good. They immediately offered help and support for any inconvenience. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere was there with all the festivity of this year's lavender festival.Loved loved and loved. Will visit again.

We were very disappointed with the farm, compared to ten years ago. There used to be music and food and beverages. It was so nice to sit and listen to the music. We paid the entrance fee and I think we were there at the farm maybe 10 minutes. Nice looking lavender, but it just wasn't the same. And there was only three vendors. We will try another year.

An immense and majestic ship. Sadly, the Missouri is no longer here, as many people in Bremerton complained about 30 years ago, when it moved back to Hawaii, but this is nonetheless a brilliant ship to have here, attachment to the legacy of the United States Navy and the sheer artistry of building a grand colossus for the water. Spend enough time here to get a sense of scale. It is obvious without needing to be stated on a ship like this is big, but only by truly exploring it does one get a sense of how immense it truly is, how it operates like a little city, a beacon of movement and life amidst the vast dark seas. I also greatly appreciate the gift shop, which is reasonably priced and quite comprehensive. I always have trouble buying the right gifts for my dad, but I found the perfect Father's Day mementos for him here, as he adores naval history and is the one who first got me interested in the power and the beauty of ships like this.

I thought the self guided tour was great. There are docents available to answer any questions. The displays were helpful and much of the ship was open to tour.

Very worth a visit. The self guided tour is very thorough and informative. The majority of the ship is accessible to the public.

Such a nice ship and easy to self tour. The employees on the ship are great and have so much information to share. Highly recommend.

Friendly ans knowledgeable volunteers on the boat to answer questions, including some who spent a few years on the boat during its active duty time. It's well laid out self-guided tour ensures you don't miss anything and you really get a feel for life on the boat.

If you enjoy history and the military then it’s a must! My wife found it as we took a ferry from Seattle to Bremerton and then decided to drive around back to Seattle. Not crowded at all and a lot to learn especially the mechanical and engineering parts of it. Didn’t have time to see all of it as I needed to return my rental so I will need to revisit hopefully.

If you're in Bremerton WA, you have got to stop by this Ship/Museum. It is a self guided tour. There is some mild walking and climbing if you want to see everything. I learned alot here. Gift shop is top notch as well. You won't be sorry you stopped here on your way through.

We absolutely loved our experience at B&B family lavender farm. We thoroughly enjoyed our free tour and my toddler and I did the u-pick lavender! Their icecream is super delicious and the goodies were fairly priced (not too expensive)! We love supporting this local business, and we can’t wait to visit again next year!

This is definitely worth your time and it’s FREE! They offer free tours every 30 minutes. The tours last 10-15 minutes and you get to see & learn about the harvesting process of lavender. You get to go into the barn where they dry & process everything. You get to touch and smell different varieties of lavender and how they make them into essential oils. Very interesting & informative. The only bathrooms they have are port-potties but they are the nicest cleanest port-a-potty I have ever used!! There is a sink to wash your hands afterwards and there is lavender soap to use. Beautiful farm! Highly recommend.

Wonderful lavender farm. The family was so friendly and the farm itself is beautiful. I loves how one of the lady's there cracked up that I wore purple on purpose visiting a lavender farm. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Stopped in on a whim and LOVED our experience. If you like lavender at all, it's worth the stop. The quick tour was really informative and interesting and there were so many beautiful photo opportunities. And the smell... Ahh! The shop has a great variety of offerings and they're very reasonably priced.

Super fun experience here. We were looking to see lavender fields while stopping in sequim and this was such a cool spot. We came at the perfect time as the owner had just started a free tour. We were able to learn interesting things about lavender from there being French and English types, to how it’s shaken and separated. Time well spent. Afterwards we checked out the gift shop and walked through the fields. The lavender lemonade and ice cream were worth it! The serene smells of this place will hide in my nostalgic dreams forever!!

Came up here the other day. Have been wanting to check this farm out for some time. Finally had the chance. Came on a Thursday. Arrived to the farm parking area wasn't full. They have multiple feilds of different types of lavendar which was nice. Took the free lavendar tour with Rob. He was amazing. Funny, very nice and super informative on the farm and lavendar. Appreciated all the knowledge and information. Highly recommend if you go. Plus the breakdown of the equipment and the barn was awesome. Their shop was also nice. Stocked with many different products which they make mostly themselves on the farm. I absolutely love supporting local. If you're looking for a lavendar farm to visit. Check this one out.

Loved this farm. Beautiful toes of lavender. Free tour was great, Rob with great hair, was hilarious and led a fantastic tour with lots of neat information. Learned a lot about lavender and how it is dried and turned to oils etc.
