I love Hillsboro Public Library! I'm an avid reader and have checked out many books over the years…read moreI've been a member! There's a section of Best Sellers that current popular books are available for check out. I've checked out some epic reads without having to wait. I like browsing the shelves and seeing staff picks placed on placards next to the book on the shelf. I've read many books that I wouldn't have read otherwise from the recommendations. I've recently started checking audio books and books on Kindle through the Libby app. I love it! I love that they do different events. I've taken my grandkids to family friendly events. Last week I had to check out the current artwork being displayed. I was mesmerized by the Warrior Women Portraits by Danyel Rogers. I received an email that there was an artist reception being put on for her. Many of the subjects of her photographs were in the audience. The reception was nicely done. I hope to make many future events!

So many others have mentioned the books, DVDs, library of things, Kanopy subscription, events and…read moreother elements that make it worthwhile to hold a library card here (the donuts aren't bad, either). But I can think of three reason off of the top of their catalog to keep going here: 1. Flamer by Mike Curato 2. Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kulkin 3. Heartstopper, by Alice Oseman You don't have to travel very far from Brookwood Parkway to find people who want these books taken out of kids' hands or incinerated just because they're unwilling to have conversation with their own children or unable to cope with what those conversations might mean. You don't have to pretend that it's only the burden of far-flung portions of the state to deal with those who'd prefer to ban books than discuss their context or meaning. In the library's backyard, there are folks with a friendly smile on their face and a cup of coffee to sell you who'd have each of these books removed expeditiously for specious reasons while outright slurring the people depicted within the pages. Granted, they call a lot of these same good folks neighbors, clergy, employees, family, and "friends" while taking their labor, payment, and tithes, but I guess letting people reach their own conclusions about their stories is the step they won't take. Well, many thanks to the Hillsboro Public Library for offering these books to anyone willing to read them. A library is often a first step along anyone's journey of self discovery (someone in the comments figured out they wanted to make horror movies, and started that walk here), and offering them the freedom to do so is a foundational portion of a public library's existence. Instead of closing that road, more of the library's neighbors should come along for the trip.

This is a nice facility. Nothing earthshattering, but good. I guess that if it was amazing, I…read morewould fear how much the city had spent on the building.

Great classroom and I really enjoy the classes that I have taken here. The parking has never been an issue and was always free. Overall I will definitely take classes here when ones are offered that I am looking to learn.

I discovered the Community at the Marquis Tualatin because I am part of a group that used to meet…read morethere. I really liked the space and what it has to offer for "non-residents" like myself. I obtained a gym membership. (I get a discount through my health insurance and chose the Marquis Community over other gyms that offer more classes but do not have a salt-water pool). I was initially very excited about the salt-water pool and gym. However... The Marquis does not list their fitness classes or pool schedule on-line. I went to their website and looked for information. I filled out a "Contact Us" form. (It went no where. Perhaps a glitch but this has happened to me a few times.) The definition of a "senior" or "uniquely-abled person" is we may have limitations. How do I know which services, classes, gym schedule, pool schedule I wish to access if I cannot locate the information? I should not have to get a ride to the Marquis in order to obtain a schedule or program information in order to plan my day, week, month. On the positive side, the salt-water pool is amazing. The gym has some nice equipment and is clean. The locker room is accessible. The rest of the Marquis (fireplace, puzzle/books in the lobby, coffee bar, seated areas) is a pleasant place to spend time. I just wish I had a schedule! Please post on-line, create a link for up-to-date schedules, anything that would make your community more welcoming to those of us that do not live there.

I'm not from around these parts and I saw my first filbert tree! Also saw a bald eagle, which was pretty cool. The pathways are a mix of barkchips and gravel, mostly flat. They interconnect in a couple of places so you can wander them all or take shortcuts if you've got whiny children with you who keep asking when it's time to go home. The visitor center was closed, so no opinion on that but the staff had started an animal sighting checklist/tally on the whiteboard outside. It looks like you can rent out its adjacent event center for parties, and there's a cool view from that shaded patio space. This place is really not too far south of downtown Hillsboro. The entrance off the highway is clearly marked.

The nice folks at the City offices are very helpful about letting you know what you need to do and…read morewhere you need to go to accomplish what you want. (At least, if you want something basic like turning water service on/off; I haven't had to deal with them for anything more complex.) But having to hand in a physical form, and when starting service go in during business hours and show id, is inconvenient. (The "go in during business hours and show id" is a nasty shock to get, if you're close to closing but also have to work.) It's a pity that, unlike the other utilities, they can't handle service over the phone...but they are friendly, helpful, and the transaction is completed fairly quickly, at least.

Talk about easy and super-efficient. I went to this location to register my out of state vehicle…read moreand from the time of my arrival until the time of completion was only 25 min. What really helped was processing the registration paperwork online and letting the office already have that information in their system. You just need to printout the preregistration paperwork that they send you afterwards in the email and bring it with you along with proof of residence and of course the title of ownership. After you process your request online, the DMV sends you a text message and you can use that to check in for your appointment or walk-in and use their check-in kiosk. I opted to use my phone and respond through link on the text message. Their system accurately tells you where you are in line and how many people are currently waiting in front of you. Very simple process to follow. I did have to wait 20 min because of the folks that were ahead of me. There was a little wait time but no worries. 5 min to only process the paperwork and immediately get the plates. How quick is that? CA is back in the stone ages and has not done anything whatsoever to improve their processes. DMV is the last last place anyone would want to visit unless it was absolutely necessary but this experience was quite pleasant nonetheless. The lady that helped me was also so friendly. Registration papers take about 3-6 weeks to arrive to your home address. Plenty of parking and seating and nobody was standing around.

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.

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.
