    Impossible to get a hold of through the website. You end up calling numbers nonstop. I recommend…read morefinding your local SS office phone number and calling to schedule an appointment or to keep them moving on your application for Medicare. Which probably won't be around much longer

    I was not expecting a two hour wait and was grateful to meet some very nice people also waiting…read more One of them had been there the day before but was being harassed by the security guy so came back that day hoping it would be someone else. He was A LOT and seemed very much wanting to be a bit in your face. I was trying to be nice and that did not seem to have an effect on his snatchy nature. Me and the other two I was talking to were just chatting and he kept coming back and looking around as if we might be shooting heroin together. It was way weird because the office is small and you can see the whole room from his desk. But it is like the DMV though I guess you can make an appointment. I do not know if that is helpful - one of the people waiting said he had done that and it was not helpful. The person working there was a sweetheart and even gave me a heads up about the person working on my stuff so that was appreciated. It has been a long time since I had to have them do something. Again, like the DMV, once you get a person they are usually quite lovely and just doing their jobs but appreciate a smiling friendly face so try not to take your wait time out on them since they are overworked just like the rest of us.

    Social Security Administration - Outside the door. Sandwich boards said it'd be a 90 min wait but it was less than 30. Still, make an appt.

    Got in and out pretty quickly for a transfer of title and the reception gentleman was actually…read morereally friendly, which I didn't expect at a DMV. Using appointments is the way to go otherwise it could be an extreme wait. I came in and had an estimate of four hours for service and then I just made a quick appointment and got seen sooner. There was a really angry guy yelling at the women receptionist for some reason who caused a huge scene so that was a little fun, but I felt bad for the receptionist.

    The newer way of things (since I swear it changes with each DMV and over time) is that you go into…read morean immediate line for a person who you say what you want to do and they tell you how to do it, what forms you need and instruct you with a few pro tips like, "Don't forget to sign and that that form you are holding." Unfortunately I was number 450 and they were at 396 so I was waiting over two hours to get called. Last year I helped work to Oregon getting a pollinators plate for the state which provides funds to the pollinators educational program at OHSU. I had my certificate to get my new plate (which is beautifully designed by a 16 year old Estacada student). When my number was called it was then fast and easy to get my new plates. The folks that work at this location all seem very friendly and knowledgeable. Ad it was there was a guy sitting fairly close to me. I got the impression he has sat down due to fatigue. One of the staff came over to update him. When the person trying to help was letting him know his wait time he kept interrupting her and barking at her. I was trying not to overhear but she was so kind even with his nature. I was impressed and relieved when he finally seemed to listen to her telling him she was sorry for the delay in whatever and that they were trying to get to his issue. I get it - people go in pissed off from the start so I definitely appreciate the kindness while they are trying to do their job and navigate very hostile people.

    Ok so I had to resolve a ticket yesterday. Obviously not fun, but it was a learning experience…read more First off I discovered that you have to come to a complete stop before making a right turn on red. Honestly I have lived here in Hillsboro/Beaverton since 2010 and somehow didn't realize (and obviously haven't been ticketed for) this infraction. I also didn't realize that there would be so many people needing to resolve their issues in the same session. Luckily I was called in time to get my issue resolved and not be late for work. I was planning to go full "Law and Order", and state my case, but the judge explained that since I did break the law, regardless of the reason, i probably would have had to pay the fine anyway and it would have been on my permanent record. There were no shovels, rakes, or implements of destruction (it's a song about Alice) but I chose to go the smart route and take the traffic school option. It was a learning experience and I will add this to my memory banks. Drive safe everyone, and remember red lights aren't just a suggestion to stop lol.

    These folks are the worst. After attempting multiple times to communicate on a ticket that I wished…read moreto pay, taking a traffic class to remove, and mistakenly sending it to the wrong address, they refused to work with me on a simple mistake even though I had done everything with good intent (even when I had proof!). Take care of good citizens? No, they ended up sending my ticket to a collection agency, now my good credit score is tarnished, likely, thanks to their obsessive need to collect money to offset their budgets, and refuse to work with citizens of this town who are trying to when there are real violators out there. Let's go after the soccer moms when they are driving 10 over, shall we? Municipal judges are there just to enforce money collection on tickets, not understand and work with folks. Will never ever vote these people into anything resembling government responsibility in the future. shameless. You hear that Mr Mayer?
