The dishes were so special to the couple, and they really seemed to go above and beyond. Their lamb was probably the standout dinner dish -- I'd say their meats, breads, and fruits were all very very good, and their veg and salad game weaker. Their cocktails were fine to really tasty, though on the sweet side. The venue itself is a gorgeous forest with lovely walks, and the buildings are really in nice condition with interesting touches.

Sadly I didn't finish it because I had to go number 1 really bad. And my leader named Cassidy is the best she deserves a raise because she was so nice and she knew how to treat us and it was so so easy to talk to her I loved it so much.

For me, a photographer, it was nice to see some photography displayed (usually pushed to the back in galleries). There are two floors for the displays, all well lit and well shown.

This is a cool little museum in a cool little town. It's a little on the smaller side, but it's got…read moresome cool history about the original founders. Upon walking to the entrance, you're greeted by a large anchor, a big motor and an amazing view of the water. A perfect place to snap some photos or just sit and take in the scenery. Entrance is pretty cheap: $4 for adults and $3 for children, seniors and students. Not too bad for a short educational experience, but be warned: It's cash only! Inside you'll see original pieces of the town and duplicated setups of the area's most popular spots like the hotel, ships, bedrooms, and more. They have signs at each spot for you to read and understand what you're looking at. I'd recommend checking it out if you've walked around the rest of Port Gamble. It just gives you a little bit more insight and sort of pieces everything together for you. The lady at the counter was great about providing some additional information if you needed any elaborations and even told us that they do paranormal tours during Halloween. More of a reason to come back, even though she hasn't experienced any hauntings herself. After the tour, they have a gift shop upstairs as well as a cafe. Just gives you another opportunity to fuel up and take in some of the sights. We came during a rainy day and the views were still great. When the sun is shining, I'm sure they are even better! Parking is a cinch. Plenty of free parking all over the area.

I usually associate Kiana Lodge with weddings. My first visit on a rainy Sunday afternoon was for a celebration of life memorial (4/6/25). This can be accessed by car via ferry sailings from Edmonds/Kingston or Seattle/Bainbridge Island or driving around the sound from Seattle/Tacoma. I also received an e-newsletter where Kenmore Air can provide transport via seaplane for special events onsite. The Garden Atrium was arranged with a reception area and coat service. A table was set up with various curated memorabilia, A/V services to provide slide show and speaker capability. There was also an open bar, coffee/tea service including water and lemonade, and catering services were also provided. Delicious cuisine. Beautiful, serene views and seating also allowed for mingling and sharing anecdotes. A genuine celebration of a very accomplished individual who left lasting legacy, demonstrated a strong love of family, and a truly a life well lived. Beautiful destination for private events.

If you want to stay later, I will get out some glass cleaner and rags so you can clean up after I go home." We let our seven year old take the lead as we went room to room to discover interesting exhibits. His favorites were (1) the model of Nimitz Aircraft Carrier. The helicopter on the deck had four blades that folded up, into the front (2) the story of a competition to see which naval base could raise the most funds in war bonds. The winner would have a ship named after them. The other competitor was Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The USS Bremerton won--and proudly displayed a model of the Baltimore class heavy cruiser, and the actual ships bell. (3) a few years ago the National Park Service team used LIDAR, sonar, and photogrammetry data captured by underwater divers equipped with scanners and cameras to compiled a cohesive 3D model of the USS Arizona. It's simplicity belies the brutal manner in which the Japanese Declared war. The three feet long 1:200 scale of the ship shows its crumpled frame. This museum ensures that long after we are gone, the memories of fallen sailors of WW will remain. My grandfather (on my Dad's side) was a captain of the USS Longshaw DD-559. After a grueling four-day period of a rain of steel (heavy shore fire) they ran aground a coral reef. 18 May 1945 my grandfather was killed. A sailors dress uniform on the wall reminded me of a picture of my grandfather on my mothers side. He safely returned home. There was an interesting exhibit upstairs about how laser printing can help lighten the load for missions out into space. There's so many interesting things here. Who knew that a wrench could be laser printed to facilitate repairs in the space station? The cost of admission is free. I highly recommend you check this out because the US Navy is an important part of our history.
