This is a nice small neighborhood library. I come here often to get some silent time and to catch…read moreup on work away from the distractions at home. But the past few times, my experience here has been extremely poor. The staff is great, but the parents who bring smaller kids to this library doesn't enforce proper library etiquette. Every time I have come here over the past 6 months, there were screaming kids, unattended kids running around making a lot of noise. These parents have to teach the kids the library is meant for quiet learning and reading and should not create distractions to others. I wish the staff spoke up to the parents who are letting these practices happen. The nearby libraries like Covington, Maple Valley ones are extremely good in managing the noise.

The Black Diamond branch is tiny. There is no parking. If the lot is filled up, there's absolutely…read morenowhere on the street or elsewhere for overflow. I have no idea why they didn't built a bigger parking lot when we forked over the money for a new library. AND, all the branches have reduced hours! That said, I love the library. I order absolutely anything online, including rare books they don't even have in the King County Library System, AND THEY GET THEM FOR ME! No joke, and I've requested some obscure non-circulating items from hundreds of miles away. KCLS copied it for me. We get DVDs. Pretty much anything you can think of. Love, love, love, LOVE the King County Library System!

I went to Green River College from 2013 and just graduated this past year. The campus is beautiful…read morein the sense that it is homey and surrounded by nature. I majored in criminal justice and I can confidently say that all of my criminal justice teachers were passionate, wonderful, and knowledgeable. With that being said, I advise anyone going to any sort of college or university to check www.ratemyprofessor.com before registering for classes to make sure that the teacher is of good standard. Getting a "bad" teacher can be a great burden and can cause for your GPA to plummet unjustly. I also enjoyed all of the inclusivity, organizations, and awareness given to those in minorities (ethnicities, races, religions, sexualities, gender identity, etc.). They recently added some all-gender bathrooms (gender neutral bathrooms) and I have seen copious pride flags around campus. Overall, Green River College is a nice and easy option, especially for those on a budget. Just beware: Parking can be quite a hassle during peak hours (9am-12pm). Make sure to arrive a great deal before your class starts to not be tardy. You can buy a parking pass at a hefty price, but I don't advise it. Even that paid-for parking lot gets easily filled. There is also a shuttle that runs from Pacific Raceways to Green River and a bus stop right outside of the campus.

The welding department is a joke. Ben Orr and Justin Pitt should be fired immediately. Justin Pitt…read moreis an instructor that has been at Green River for 9 years. He doesn't know Anything about welding. He can not run any machines without help from Ben Orr. These two people are miserable examples of instructors. They say they like watching people suffer. They start every one in stick welding and don't let them pass on to any other form of welding. I seen them hold people back for no reason. Most students don't pass the stick welding part. So they spend 6 quarters on stick welding not even getting certified. Justin Pitt will not even grade your work. Ben Orr will lie and cover for Justin Pitt. Under age students drink alcohol in the welding booths. Have sex do drugs and no one cares. If you are wanting to really learn and go on to make a living. Stay away from Gree River.

Nice little town on your way to Mt.Rainier from Auburn. Enumclaw is home to the King County Fair,…read morewhich is one of the oldest fairs West of the Mississippi River, but fairly small one- if your not going to any shows there you can do that fair in a hour or two.

The collection here is huge and varied. It's really all about life in Black Diamon and is staffed…read moreby local volunteers with lots of stories to share. You can take a quick stroll through or spend a couple of hoirs here. Black Diamond was a company owned town. Coal mining company that is. They owned everything. Miners came from all across Europe to mine coal here. Welsh, Croation, Italian and many more. The company eventually closed and sold the property. Many of the shops in business during the company days are still here and many decendants of those miners live here still. Exhibits include local history, mining history, day to day items. Just so much information. We spend a fair amount of time looking through the several rooms and speaking with the volunteers. They have so much information to impart and were all lovely. Parking is street side, just past the museum. Be sure to check out the out building and the memorial garden as well. If you are really keen, drive down the hill and check out the Union Stump memorial. Definitely worth a stop to learn the local history. Open Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

I was advised that Muckleshoot, Live Nation, or Ticketmaster didn't check the cards. They didn't care as long as you had a placard!

Neither one will give me a refund, but they will not even allow me to resell! Muckleshoot and Sam Hunt along with both Live Nation and Ticketmaster are not ADA compliant or care if you are ADA!

America did terrible things to many people, but the story of what they did to indigenous people is a scar on the soul of our forefathers. I'm glad that somethings have been done to amend our crimes, but so much needs to be done to help heal these wounds. My love and prayers go out to you all.
