As…read morea bystander of sorts, the Port of Edmonds Marina offers a wonderful little promenade walk that goes through the marina and shipyard providing both water view and peeks at the workings of this charming marina. The mission of the Port of Edmonds includes waterfront public access, which I greatly appreciate. It also has a mission of environmental stewardship. I appreciate the port because of these public goals that affect those who do use the port in the fullest sense. While taking walks between Brackett's Landing and Marina Beach Park, hug along the water to find the walking path behind Arnie's, Anthony's that cut through the port. The fishing pier is charming. I always stop to see the boats being lifted out of the water. They have two methods. One uses two bands that looks like it can carry a whale. One is a lift. A fork lift with two very long prongs gingerly drive the boat to its dry dock spot. It is fun to watch every time. From the Marina Beach Park side, find the sign that reads Port of Edmonds Promenade for the entrance.

My hubby and I liked British Swim School for its emphasis on water survival skills. We started our…read morebaby here at around 6 months old at Tadpole level, and after a few teary-eyed classes she acclimated to the water and graduated into the next level called Swimboree. When we get to interact with the instructors in class about skills and admin it's great. However I would say the back office stuff is really strange and opaque. The swim school uses an app called Jackrabbit to track your child's progress, attendance/absences, and billing. At the same time you get contacted via text message about similar things you'd expect to do in the app, and the two methods of communication don't exactly sync. For example, you can plan and and log an absence in the app, but there's no way to cancel/undo this. Instead you have to call their number, and the phone line goes to a weird AI-generated phone tree so we just left a message and hoped they got it. I've used the Contact Us feature of the app several times and never got a response via the app. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when they text, and it comes from different numbers. At the very least, we've never been no-showed at the pool. At the time we graduated to Swimboree, we were told that this class wasn't available at Mercer Island. However after not being able to find a different location and time that satisfied us, we texted that we would need to cancel our membership. They immediately followed up by offering the class we needed - at Mercer Island at the same time as our original Tadpole class. We're not exactly sure how they made it work and wondered how it might impact the rest of the Tadpoles. But as long as we're getting what we need from class, we'll plan to stay until our baby decides to move on to something else!

The staff are super friendly at the front desk and the couple swim instructors that have taught my kids are wonderful and patient.

A well-run swim school that focuses on building confidence, not just swimming skills…read more We've had all three of our kids at Goldfish Swim School in Mill Creek, and it's been a very positive experience. Two of our children have progressed through the Junior program (skipping Mini) and into Glider, with one of them completing the next level (Pro), while our youngest is just getting started. The results over the past six months have been impressive. Our older two have gone from being apprehensive in the water to genuinely enjoying swimming. Both are now able to swim independently with appropriate supervision, and our oldest (10) is arguably the best pool swimmer in our family. What really stands out isn't just the progress--it's Goldfish's approach to teaching. The instructor-to-student ratio is excellent, with one instructor for every two or three kids being the norm (occasionally four, but never feeling crowded). There are also multiple lifeguards on duty--roughly one for every three lanes--which gives parents a great deal of confidence. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and focused on helping kids become comfortable in the water rather than simply checking off skills. The skill evaluations are another strength. When it's time to test for the next level, each child receives one-on-one attention from an instructor, making the process feel thorough and encouraging rather than rushed. One of the things Goldfish does especially well is celebrate progress, not just outcomes. Kids who pass a level get to ring the celebration bell, giving them a real sense of pride and accomplishment. Even on days when they aren't testing--or don't quite advance yet--instructors recognize individual achievements with ribbons for things like learning a new skill or simply being brave in the water. It's a thoughtful approach that keeps kids motivated and reinforces that building confidence is just as important as mastering the next technique. The facility itself is very good. It's a glass-free facility with a comfortable viewing area where parents can clearly watch every lesson. The building is well lit, with good temperature control--warm on the pool deck while still comfortable in the seating area. There are convenient showers right next to the pool, spacious changing rooms with hair dryers and getting-ready areas, an easy electronic check-in system, and a fun snack counter with inexpensive treats so kids can buy something themselves after class. One thing to know before you enroll is that Goldfish is purpose-built as a swim lesson facility. If you're looking for water slides, splash features, or a recreational pool experience like McMenamins or the Snohomish Aquatic Center, this isn't that. Every aspect of the facility is designed around teaching children to swim safely, efficiently, and confidently. Parking at Mill Creek Town Center is generally good, although it can get busy during peak times. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the cost and conditions of the make-up tokens. Enrolling multiple children is a significant investment, but in our experience the quality of instruction, the emphasis on safety, and--most importantly--the confidence our kids have gained in the water have made it well worth it. That said $43 a session for 30 minutes is on the high side. If you miss a class, you receive a make-up token that can be used later. While this has worked well for our family and is helpful, you do need to know is the tokens can accumulate over time, because you must remain enrolled to redeem them--you can't cancel or postpone lessons and fund off make up tokens. Overall, Goldfish has created a well-organized, safety-focused environment that inspires confidence in both kids and parents. More importantly, they've helped transform swimming from something our kids were nervous about into something they genuinely enjoy. After using Snohomish Aquatic Center, McMenamins, and Kingsgate, we'd recommend Goldfish to other families looking for a lesson-focused program for kids on the younger side (Ages 3-9). -AC

The instructors came across as unprofessional, a lot of inconsistency, not much structure, and not enough attention on the kids. It often felt like they weren't prepared for the lessons or didn't really know how to manage the class. Because of that, the actual learning just wasn't there. Kids weren't getting clear instruction, corrections, or real progress. It felt more like loosely supervised pool time than an actual swim lesson, which is not great considering the hefty price in exchange for "golden" quality and the expectations they set. I would often see teachers chat with other staff during lessons which really disappointed me as a parent because not only are you not giving the quality of education promised, but you're jeopardizing the safety of my child by looking away. I don't understand why I need to pay a hefty price to feel anxious during their education. Along with the teachers, they swap out and change too often to be consistent. Overall, it didn't feel like a place where children could genuinely develop their skills or learn safely. I wouldn't recommend it based on what I saw. There are definitely better places out there, or even a family trip to a pool would benefit more than a yearlong subscription in my opinion.
