I was stopped on 130th on aroura today (2/1) because of a man making threats and trying to come to me (information private, not going to say anything) while I was trying to go to work, and every one of the police offers were there to make sure that I was safe. This isn't the first time Seattle PD has came to save my day, and I am writing this review because I wanted to give thanks to the police officer that helped me. I didn't have time to grab names, but he was older, white bald and had a beard. Thank you.

The person who took our call was extremely nice and very helpful. She said there will be an officer coming over to come get a statement in person from me the owner. I'm thinking this is gonna be at least a couple hour wait. I was hoping it would be fast so I can get down to Burien where a credit card that was in the truck was attempted to get 120.00 in gas but got declined for incorrect pin! Next thing you know a cop rolls up!!! I'm thinking it's only been 15 mins!!! Please be him? You know you hear about all the defunding of police and all this other stuff about cops. IM TELLING YOU I ONLY WAITED 15 MINS! THE OFFICER WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL, ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS, EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT I NEED TO DO AND NOT DO, AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE FUTURE. He then wrote my case number on a card and told me where to reach out for questions. COULDNT OF GONE BETTER! I wish I looked at this outstanding officers name. I'll try to find it using my case # and I'll update!! Bottom line, I've been hearing all these horrible things about not so much our police but police around the US. So I was kinda expecting a little of what I've been hearing. NOT THIS OFFICER! AND NOT SEATTLE POLICE! Every word communicated was positive and efficient both on the phone and in person. THIS OFFICER WAS OUTSTANDING!! That was a huge relief to know SEATTLE is putting officers like this under their light bars! These people are HEROS! Just think of what they go through each and every day. These people are SEATTLES FINEST AND TRUE HEROS! Thank you for your service and professionalism! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

I find the locks so incredibly fascinating. You can do a self-guided tour, but doing the daily free…read moretour at 2 PM is so much better. It's led by a park ranger and is really informative. You won't learn al this stuff walking around on your own. The fish ladder viewing room is the most crowded and can get super loud. But when you do manage to squeeze your way around all of the unsupervised screaming children, it's awesome to see the salmon so up close. Again, the whole thing is just a fascinating process. There's much else to see and do besides just the locks and ladder. The whole place is just beautiful grounds. Great for walking around on a nice day. There's also events and whatnot that happen on the grounds here. Parking can be difficult. But there is hourly parking nearby. Just bring some patience and drive slowly through the parking areas. All in all, we had a fantastic visit here. Even the teens enjoyed it. And it's officially on my list as a place I want to go back to and spend more time.

There is this one Asian lady (I believe she is Korean) who helps me most of the time when I'm there, and she is great every time! She explains how things work thoroughly, whether I'm there for mailing in my old passport to get it renewed or sending a package to Japan. She is also very careful about putting in the correct address so I feel more comfortable and confident getting help from her. She also has good energy level and is nice to talk to. Being in customer-facing job myself, she inspires me to do better at my job too. This may be common knowledge, but since they do not let you use mailing tools like glue, tapes, or scissors, I recommend bringing them from home if you plan on packing on-site.

If you need to, you can take the elevator from the parking garage to go straight into the library- very useful when I had a broken foot! The staff usually greets you when you come in and are friendly when you need help. The library has lots of windows to give it a more airy, light atmosphere. Although it's a bit smaller than other libraries I've been to, the shelves are still full of books to explore. I love the way they display recommended books to read! The "on-hold" area is easy to navigate, and it's right next to the self checkout station so if you need to quickly pop in to grab your stuff then check out, it's super convenient. I just really like this local simple sanctuary, and I hope others do, too.
