I attended a wedding at Titlow Lodge this last Saturday. While the wedding was amazing, and yes,…read morethe venue is beautiful, the lady from Tacoma Metro Parks who was there was atrocious. As a guest, I've never been made to feel so unwelcomed by a venue. To give a little background, the wedding was scheduled to take place at the venue from 4:30 to 8pm. This woman came out every ~20 minutes, in her Metro Parks cardigan, after the ceremony took place to stand in the doorway and glare at everyone, then turn around and stalk off. I had just finished having a slice of the wedding cake when the lady came out, went into the area where the food was still set up, and started to move around all the dishes the guests had brought. She'd glare out at the hall where everyone was sitting, eying every table, hands on her hips. She was so unsettling that a majority of the guests started to leave. It was 6:30, I had only danced to one full song and was half way through dancing a 2nd time when the Tacoma Metro Parks woman, who was coming out far more frequently at this point, had one of the parents of the couple come out and ask who had brought what so she could clean up. This was at 6:30, and the reception wasn't supposed to end until 8pm, (I learned later that they had the lodge til 9pm so they could do cleanup AFTER the reception ended at 8) but the Tacoma Metro Parks lady was dead set on putting a damper on the festivities! I had to stop dancing to go over and point out my dish because she wouldn't let up. I tried to dance again, but the Parks woman had the parents go around and take all the table cloths off the table. What few guests she hadn't chased away started to leave. A handful of us tried to stick around until 8. I found out later from the bride's maid that the Tacoma Metro Parks woman was constantly interrupting the photo shoot and set up before the wedding even began. While the lodge and grounds are lovely, I cannot, at this time, recommend this venue. If you do book it, I would suggest being very sure that you make it clear you want the venue representative to not be present.

What an awesome place to stop by!…read more If you have kiddos this place is extra great - the playground is so delightful I just had to go down the slide! There's a building that has some really cute turtles and frogs and there are animal costumes for the kiddies. As for the adults? There's a walking trail that goes around the lake. It's pretty short, but if you go around a few times you can get a nice walk in. It's very shaded and I will definitely be coming here more when Summer comes.

I actually saw a local mom influencer post about it on Instagram and decided to visit with my kids! The Discovery Pond playground is super cute and was a hit with my kids (5 and 3). It's all nature themed, of course, with fun slides and climbing structures, as well as a small playground off to the side of the main playground. In addition, there's fun trails for the kids to explore surrounding the playgrounds that I felt comfortable enough letting them check out on their own since the whole area is pretty condensed and it's easy to hear/see them. There looked to be some pond areas that were all dried up. From past photos I think there are normally some frogs and bugs and other things that sometimes fill up these ponds, but it being the start of the hot season they are pretty baren. Would be cool to come back and check out in the fall! I also appreciate the amount of benches and picnic tables around the playground, as we were able to snag a shaded one that the kids could have their lunch at and take a break from running around. After we played and had lunch at the playground, we went on the little half mile ish trail behind the info center. It was mostly flat and very easy for the kids. The hit was definitely the bridge that goes over a large pond where we were able to spot several turtles, tadpoles, ducks, etc. We didn't pay attention to the time and missed out on going inside of the info center (it closes at 2) so that will be on the list for next time as well. Overall such a cute little spot that we'll I'm sure we'll hit up several times this summer!

The venue was easy to work with leading up to…read morethe event, and they were quick to answer questions, respond to emails and they were cool with us dropping in several times to scope the place out and plan out our setup. They were totally fine with me changing the dates a couple times, and they did everything we wanted as far as setting up tables and chairs the way we asked. Aside from the staff, the venue is absolutely incredible. The view is a million dollar view that you would never expect from a venue as affordable as this one. I would have paid double the price just for the view, honestly. I heard so many guests go on and on about how beautiful it was and it just made me so happy! The inside of the building is very unique as well, and it was a great space for the size we had and the setup we had planned. They have two conference rooms that can be used as get ready rooms, a full kitchen and plenty of parking. There's also space in the courtyard outside for a bar, tables and we set up lawn games as well. I can't say enough good things about this venue, and I'm so, so glad I chose to have my wedding here!

David Lynch the Pacific Northwest... especially Washington State has a real attachment to David Lynch mainly because of the TV show Twin Peaks. This show wasn't to just honor his work with that show but for all of his films like Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Eraserhead and more. There was a jazz band that started out followed by dancer, a atmospheric electro music performer and more each with their own musical styles. The presentation concluded with a singer who sang Julee Cruise's "Falling" the song that is the intro song to Twin Peaks (although it's instrumental). They had mixed drinks named Agent Cooper and you could even get a slice of cherry pie with damned good coffee!

Tiny parking lot at the bottom, maybe 8 spots? Enough room to maneuver a truck, but it's tight! There's a very well built building right next to the parking lot with bathrooms, tables, and a grill. Right next to the creek so it's an awesome spot to pull up a seat and enjoy the shade! As you leave the parking lot and go through the ravine, you'll have a fairly nice short walk with no elevation gain. Go over the bridge and up the hill and you hit the edge of the park. Take the first steep hill on the right before the bridge and you'll be sent through the trail system. Very nicely maintained stairs and boardwalks. Be warned that the stairs are steep! A few times I felt like I was climbing attic stairs, it's definitely not disability friendly. Overall it's a great place to hide from the sun and I'll definitely be back!
