What John Wayne (SNA) is to LAX, Paine Field (PAE) is to SEA…read more Maybe not the best comparison here, but for someone who has been to both pairs of airports with half of one pair in proximity with the other half, it's a fair enough proportional analogy where the airport sizes are commensurate to one another. I live in Los Angeles County about the same distance between SNA and LAX, and hands down, I'd choose SNA over LAX because it's much less hassle to fly into and out of Orange County. Similarly, if I were to live in King County the same distance between PAE and SEA, I'd indubitably prefer the airport in Snohomish County instead. That is, unless my final destination or choice of airlines isn't associated with PAE. Only two airlines operate at PAE: Alaska and Frontier. Flights out of PAE will end up in Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, or a city in California. Any other destination, you will need a connecting flight. Any other airline, you will have to choose SeaTac instead. In my case, I was flying to SNA in Orange County, CA via Alaska Airlines. After getting dropped off at the passenger terminal, I made my way inside where I was able to check in my bag at a kiosk and get a luggage tag, which I secured around the handle of my bag, After dropping off my bag, I made my way to the TSA Security Checkpoint, where there was not a single customer in line. The security agent was in a very bubbly mood, even this early in the morning, trying to perk me up as I was still trying to wake up for my morning flight, so I do appreciate how upbeat she was to me! And I also appreciate how there was no line to get through security either! It's almost like nobody else in Puget Sound even knows about this airport that you almost wonder if you're even allowed to fly out of there. I flew out of SNA at an even earlier time, and I still had to wait a few minutes in line to get through security; my groupmates on this trip mentioned an even longer line at the TSA security checkpoint they went through at SNA. Hopefully they won't read this review; otherwise, they might be jealous of how I always found the shortest lines through security lol. I did joke to the bubbly TSA agent that I was still trying to wake up and could use some coffee; she mentioned there was coffee in the secure area. It's all the way at the left corner near Gate 1: Beecher's Handmade Cheese, which supposedly boasts the world's best mac & cheese. Hmm, can't be too certain about that. There's also a bar called Upper Case Bar, which is closer to Gates 2A/2B. Those are literally the only options for eats and drinks at this airport. If you don't like either, I'd recommend doing what I did: pack a couple of granola bars in your carry-on before boarding your plane, where the flight attendants will serve you refreshments, which include coffee. There are only three gates at this airport: Gate 1, Gate 2A, and Gate 2B. Initially, my flight was assigned to Gate 2B, which would have necessitated going outside before entering the plane. It was raining pretty hard that morning, and to make matters worse, my flight was delayed by almost two hours due to maintenance issues. Luckily, the flight got re-assigned to Gate 2A, which had a jet bridge, meaning that we didn't have to go outside to board the plane. Great news! I think the reason for the lack of a jet bridge at Gate 2B is because of how close it is to Gate 2A. However, if it rains a lot in that area, maybe consider a makeshift jet bridge on concrete so that passengers won't have to worry about getting wet before boarding the plane? Before the gate change announcement, we were told that they could provide umbrellas for us to borrow while walking to the plane, but there was only a limited number. I was almost afraid I'd have to use my own umbrella, which was in my backpack, and then place my wet umbrella back in my backpack during the flight. I really appreciated the awning at the dropoff location because, like I previously said, it was raining pretty hard during the early morning of my flight. I thought I was going to get a little wet at least before going inside the airport, but nope! However, since Paine Field is pretty large, I wouldn't recommend totally relying on GPS because it may take you to a different part of Paine Field. You might end up spending more time trying to find the airport than waiting inside the airport for your flight! I visited Everett, WA back in 2017, and while Paine Field had existed back then, the Passenger Terminal didn't until two years later. My only option then was to fly into SeaTac and then make the hour-long drive to Everett. Had my visit to Everett happened after that or if the Passenger Terminal had opened at least three years earlier, I easily could have flown in there instead. TL;DR: If you live closer to Everett, definitely consider flying out of PAE over SEA! Much less hassle and foot traffic here, but also make sure you know beforehand where in PAE the passenger terminal is.

My wife also loved shopping at Torrid. She's happy to have her favorite store close to home. Inside the mall we were practically the only people on a Monday afternoon. The mall was clean and some of the businesses seemed to be closed. After reading the other reviews, it seems like the mall is going to have a big change and redesign! I'm excited for what's to come and to see the big changes in the next year or so. Must be why some of the store locations are vacant. They are getting ready for the construction. My wife loves all the changes on the outside of the mall and loves the movie theater, Ulta, Home Goods, Chic Fil A, Trader Joe's, and others. We will be back soon and look forward to the changes inside the mall.

They did pretty good work , I've had a few issues with the car stereo I bought (Alpine) as always,…read moreI have a few different brands since I was a kid but Alpine has always served me well. So there was a few issues after about a month of the installation, I went back and without any hassle at all Steve took my compliant to heart and went to work on getting it resolved. It was an issue that they had never heard of before but he promised if they couldn't fix the would install a new one. Well I had to go back a few times but Steve and Lee both worked really hard, with Lee even doing some of the problem solving at home after hours. I would recommend these guys to anyone that wants car stereo equipment. I've been to car toys a few times and never have I been happy they even tore up my dash once and rigged it up so I don't notice until I had more work done later and they never said a word I don't believe they are trustworthy and I also think they are uneducated and over priced. SS BARGIN stereo knows what they are doing and I feel like they are trustworthy and really want to take care of the customer. I will always go back for any stereo equipment I need in the future and highly recommended them . They do great work and make sure the customer is happy!

I have been coming to see this guy since I was in High School (Class of 1999). He is ALWAYS the…read morecheapest, which is great when your a high school kid. BUT, sometimes things don't tend to come out the way you had planned. Fortunately, I have yet to have them tell me "too bad, so sad". The only thing I don't like, is I feel like I am at the mercy of his mood. But, I always end up here, and always bring my friends and family to have their work done too. You aren't paying for bed-side manner, and you don't get it. What you do get is what you paid for. It's less expensive, but it works, and so far he has always stood by his work. Now that I'm all grown up, I can actually afford to take my pick for installers. Since I tend to be a loyal customer, I STILL feel compelled to come to these guys. I can't tell you how many door panels this guy tore off for me when I was a kid (no charge). Even in his old parking lot on Casino Ave. Just to tell me what size speakers would fit in my crappy hatch back. I figure he has earned my business. Considering the car I am bringing in now is FAR from my friends P.O.S. Datsun hatchback, I just hope I don't hate myself tomorrow. I have an appointment with him this afternoon to have some work done. I notice there aren't any other reviews for this guy on Yelp. I'm happy to be the first. Once I get the work done, I will make sure to update this review once I've put everything through it's paces (does he get 1, 3 or 5 stars after the fact??). The way I see it, this will either be affirmation of my feelings of loyalty, or the straw that breaks the camels back and send me fleeing into the arms of another car stereo install house. Fingers crossed SS Bargain is having a good day today. I REALLY don't want to find Duct Tape in place of butt connectors on my wiring kit..... If cost is your ONLY concern, this place CANNOT be beat. If you are 50/50 cost and quality (like me), ask A LOT OF QUESTIONS. If cost is no consideration for your trailer queen of a hot-rod, you might want to call around.

You had to buy tickets through a special link in order to get a hat representing your house and mascot on it. I was happy to see that parking was free!! I am not used to that perk. Coming in the gate was very simple. I added the tickets to my apple wallet for easy access and scanning. Everyone seemed to be outside by the concourse either in line for food or hanging out in a family style grass area with activities for kids. I don't like that if you want a burger and fries, you have to stand in two lines. The burgers come with plain lays chips and same for the hotdogs but separate lines. The fries are a different line and they also had chicken tenders. We stayed in one line and both got double cheeseburgers. The frog shop is a good size and had plenty of items go choose from. I browsed but didn't buy anything. My husband went back and got a zip up sweatshirt since it got cold after the sun wasn't hitting us. I apparently purchased General Admission and that consists of metal bleachers. They also get cold. We chose the 3rd base side which was cool because that is where the home team did their warm up. Once the game started, I felt it was a little difficult to pay attention. The seats had a good view but I would prefer closer to home plate and being a part of the action. I was excited to have a nice mountain view too but they were hiding a bit. We will definitely go back and try different areas to see what we like best!

For those particularly interested: -Hand sanitizer station is at the entrance -Masks are enforced while inside and on the train platform (Customer service provides masks to anyone who doesn't have one, even those just using the restroom) -Currently vaccination status is not checked -Social distancing is encouraged inside -Only one door is open (front of the building) -Plastic barriers throughout the lobby to manage foot traffic.

No paper towels, and the hand dryers are very weak/take awhile. If you're arriving or departing on a Greyhound or Amtrak bus, there's a separate area which is to the far right of the building. Taking the bus from Seattle to Spokane? If you're stopping at Everett and your driver gives you 10mins to step out and use the restroom, be mindful that you may not make that 10min window given the distance to/from and if the restrooms are crowded.

I really loved going to this library every week as it was a good place to be and hangout with my…read morefriends, but recently i was with a group of my friends around the recetangular table in the middle, then a random guy comes out of nowhere yelling gibberish about how my friends and I where on the second floor disturbing him (me and my friends on this day were not at all on the second floor) and while saying these things, he came next to me and he clenched his fist ready to punch me. I was really scared for my life (being a high-school teenager) but the security guard, the staff and the people around us did nothing, and I and my friends were frozen in fear, the guy randomly left, so we thought he came to his senses or he realized that we were never in the second floor, so we continued on our own business. Then suddenly 10 or minutes after that, the guy shoved me hard and I knocked down one of my friends that was sitting next to me, so the rest of my friends left calmly, to call security or ask for help, and the guy that shoved me kept talking more gibberish about us in the second floor bothering him, so the person next to me was desperately trying to explain we were never in the second floor today, (keep mind that nobody including the security guards did anything, I don't think they even cared) then the guy randomly called his dog on the second floor in the library (and keep in mind that pets are strictly not allowed in the library and I was so scared the dog was going to maul me) and then the guy was yelling for the security to come (which up on to this point was literally doing nothing) and he told the security guard that we were on the second floor bothering him (the security guard knew we never were on the second floor) the security guard then said to me and the guy that we will be kicked out if we don't stop bothering each other, the guy then left to the second floor(and I was thinking thats it? You're not going to do anything about himself assaulting me?) And I was so shocked that the people around me, the security guard and the staff did nothing about this. (Also keep in mind that one time me and my friend was throwing around a light ball in the library and we were threatened to be kicked out of the library and we had to really apologize to be not kicked out) so if I throw around a ball I get kicked out of the library but if a random guy assaults me he gets of scott free. (I don't feel safe anymore in this library especially when the staff didn't care a vulnerable high-school kid was being assaulted infront of them)
