She made my family feel so welcome on our private tour and my 2 year old is in love with the baby goats.

Overlake farm is a heaven for horses. They get to roam in a huge pasture and graze all day as…read morenature intended. The horses are well cared for and happy. The property is a treasure in and of itself. An oasis in the middle of a bustling metropolitan area and steps from 400 plus acres of groomed horse trails - no bikes! It is a fabulous place.

Unfortunately, I was only at Overlake Farms in Bellevue for 8 months before our planned move to…read moreArizona full time in August 2022. I wish I had been there longer. OLF was the right home for me and my horse Blu. He loved his big open stall and paddock and his turn out in lush pastures. The Farm has a really nice riding track, outdoor arena and round pen and is literally right across the street from Bridle trails state park--so easy to attend shows or clinics! While there is no covered arena for rainy winter days, I can say with all honesty that I never missed a day of planned riding due to rain. The park has tall trees which protect from the rain but still are wide open and bright. Dana and her crew take amazing care of all the horses. They have a huge herd that has 30+ acres to meander in and are fed on a track to make sure everyone has a place to eat and not be bothered. Having said that, horses will be horses and do hurt themselves from time to time. Dana keeps sufficient stall/paddocks available to use if a horse needs to come out of the herd for any reason. A young horse had torn the skin back on her knee requiring stitches. She broke her stitches open and Dana made extraordinary efforts to help with the care and treatment of the horse including installing a tether system in a stall. In the 3 barns I have been at, I have never seen an owner so personally involved and conscientious of a horses' well being. For the non-herd horses, turn out is all day for long hours not just a couple hours. Any reasonable request was met and accommodated. This is not a "show" barn although there are show horses there. Boarders are knowledgeable and friendly and happy to join on a trail ride. There are a number of quality trainers available and with 50+ horses on the farm, all the vets and farriers go there. Dana even built a new covered, flat area for vets and/or farriers to work out of the elements. No this is not the fanciest place but it was honest, warm, caring and welcoming and not only felt like, but was Home for Blu and I. While we are loving and adjusting to our home in the sun, we will forever miss and be fond of our friends and time at Overlake. 100% recommend Overlake as a great place to board.

I wanted to come back and update my review now that we've picked up our finished pieces. We're…read moreseriously so happy with how everything turned out! The full process took about 3 weeks total. Our pottery class was on March 29th, we came back to paint on April 12th, and then picked everything up on April 17th. It honestly felt like such a fun extended experience getting to come back and see everything through. The painting portion was super enjoyable too. They offer a variety of glazes, some classic colors included at no extra cost, plus a few specialty options for a small fee. My fiancé chose the "Safari" glaze (just $1 extra), which had these cool glass pieces that melt in the kiln and create such a unique pattern. Definitely worth trying if you want something a little different! Pickup was easy overall. My only small suggestion would be to clarify the pickup hours on the card that's handed out after painting. Google hours seem to reflect member hours, while the hours posted on the door are different. When I arrived, they technically weren't open yet (my mistake, I'm sorry!), but the person at the front desk was super kind and still helped me find my pieces, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. Thank you so much Creative Hands Studio, we'll definitely be back!

My son comes our sweaty and tired - always a lovely way to pick up your child from a sports-activity. The one thing I find a bit disappointing is that the classes fill up - sometimes several weeks in advance and it can be hard to get into particular classes. So far our schedule has allowed for flexibility with this but given the short time in which to use up classes, it can be challenging to find enough options that fit our schedule.

Our daughter attended here for 2 years. We are still in touch with them occasionally and go to their annual picnic because they were like a second family when we went there. I have 3 kids and have seen every type of daycare and preschool - Creative Sprouts is simply the best. The most impressive thing they taught my daughter was excellent social emotional skills. She was able to express her feelings, even in a conflict with her sister, from a very young age! Highly highly recommend.

I love seeing that my girl comes home with dirty clothes because of outdoor playing), loving teachers and staff who really take their time to understand the needs of your child and families.

The most unflappable human in the Seattle wedding industry…read moreI've been a wedding photographer for 13 years. I've worked with a lot of planners. BreeAnn at Pink Blossom Events is genuinely in a category of her own. I first met her in 2014 and we've partnered on countless weddings since -- several of which have been published, including a recent feature in Washington Wedding Day magazine. She's been a Seattle wedding planner since 2006 and she knows absolutely everyone in this industry. That experience and those relationships show up in real ways for her clients. But here's what I really want you to know: she is unflappable. Like, legitimately. Things can go sideways on a wedding day -- and sometimes they do -- and BreeAnn calmly puts it all back together before anyone even notices something happened. That skill is rare. It is such a gift. Every time one of my couples tells me they've hired Pink Blossom Events, I exhale. Their wedding is going to be well-managed, the details are handled, and they actually get to enjoy their day instead of stressing through it. Highest possible recommendation. Book her. -- Becca Jones, B. Jones Photography

Her eye for detail is incredible, and what meant the most to me was how thoughtfully she included my family--especially those who don't understand English. She made sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and taken care of. Because of her and her team outstanding day-of planning, I was truly able to enjoy 100% of my special day without a single worry. BreeAnn handled everything behind the scenes so smoothly that all I had to do was be present and soak in the moment. If you're looking for someone who is talented, dedicated, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about what she does, BreeAnn is the one. She went above and beyond for us, and I will forever be thankful for the magic she created. Highly, highly recommend!
