We had the place to ourselves and spent an enjoyable hour taking in the surroundings and interpretive signs. The signs identify as well as speak of the traditional usage of the various plants by NW tribes along with the legends of the Coast Salish. There are a wealth of habitats and cultural perspectives represented here. Truly a haven for nature and humanity. The Cedar Cathedral has forever changed the way I view PNW forests. The gift shop is small but rich in literature and local art. The volunteers we met throughout the center were friendly and personally invested in the conservation work of the foundation. Admission is reasonable and a membership option is available for those who wish to further support Adopt A Stream. Easy access to the center from the ferry and freeway. Convenient parking available free of charge. The only public restroom is a portable one in the neighboring park. There are picnic tables outside the gate.

There is no post office in Eastlake. Lake Union Mail is the closest thing to one. It is a business…read morefor mailing and picking up packages. It seems tailored to meet the needs of residents in the neighborhood. Particularly if you live in an apartment nearby and it is difficult to order and receive online goods where you live. Usually this type of business does not appeal to me, but I happen to need stamps and bought some here. You do pay more for convenience as the stamps here cost more than buying them from the post office directly. But I did get some RBG stamps here that likely have been sold out elsewhere. So think of the extra cost as more of a selection premium. If you live in Eastlake, I do think that this seems like a more convenient location for mail pickup than the nearest post offices on Capitol Hill and the U District.

In Seattle, there are many that fall into that catagory, and this one stands out. Food banks are places which are more important than ever before. There are too many people in unfortuante situations. Either because of some circumstance which is out of their control, or for what ever reason, it becomes necessary to rely of the charity of others. I volunteered here, as part of Seattle Works. Like many food banks I have volunteered at, it's simple, have your energy up, a welcoming smile, and respect. This one serves tons of people, Wednesdays and Saturdays. They have two shifts, one in the morning and afternoon. If you come early, be prepaired to get to packing and sorting. Donations come from local groceries and neighborhood residents. People line up, come in, get food items, and are on their way. Simple. I always say, it's good to give back, and this place is a good way to giving back, even if you don't have money to give; give a little time, it's well worth it. Tip: There is limited parking, some just north of the location, and some 24 hours spots on the street across(south) from the fire station. Don't park at the fire station, they don't really appreciate cars blocking their station. Wear comfortable clothes, and good shoes, you'll be on your feet.

When I have volunteered, it has been on the Saturday morning shift, four long hours! Be prepared to stand for most of the time and for non-stop people coming through. Generally Seniors and the Disabled are in the first round of clients. It is nice that they are able to come through first without being hindered by a large crowd. This food bank generally has a great deal of fresh produce, meat and many donations from Whole Foods and other markets. It feels good passing out items that I know I don't spurge on for myself. I appreciate that the clients at the food bank can turn away items that they do not wish to take. It feels very humane that people are not put in a position that they must eat anything given to them just because they are in need. If you have some volunteer time, keep North Helpline in Lake City in mind! northhelpline.org
