My commencement was the week before my the commencement for my high school diploma from Shorewood High School, I was 17 years of age at both. It was cool to be able to earn credits for both high school and college as part of the Washington State Running Start program. While attending Shoreline Community College, I split my extracurricular activities - taking part in clubs here and sports through the high school. The student body was diverse, which I enjoyed. I still remember a particular group I was part of in a history/political science class where I was 16 years of age, another person was 24 years of age, and a third person was 40+ years of age with a 20 year old son... The 40+ year old even said they had a hard time taking me seriously because I was so young. I appreciated honesty and transparency like this from the students. My classes were across the board above average from my perspective and I can say there was not a bad experience in my two years here. When classes were close together temporally and spaced physically apart, I found I had to walk fast to make it to my next class on time. Parking was easy to find if I came early enough in the morning, otherwise it could be a bit of a wait. The bookstore was a magical place to me, where I could get textbooks, snacks, and other school supplies. Happy to have attended, and graduated from, Shoreline Community College.

During today's Renegade Craft Fair, the booths easily lined up in rows with sufficient room to get by in between the shoppers. The temperature control seems to be pretty good despite the big, airy space. The most recent visit is today, i.e. in Dec, and the inside was temperature comfortable. Also helps that there were plenty of attendees so humans are warming up the space too. There are bathrooms off to one side and a big bathroom that is identified as gender neutral (vs. handicapped). There were always plentiful of toilet paper and towels. This same off to one side area is roomy enough that if the event organizers planned ahead, they can set up tables and chairs for folks to sit and rest or for parents to tend to their children as needed. I've been to fairs where this was just an empty area though. The immediate outside is a good spot for food trucks to come and sell coffee and small bites. Enjoyed some good pie and cookies today. Parking has never been an issue. There's a small official lot, but we've always found parking within 3 blocks away. Easy.

One of Ballard's fellow students here--just thought I could pitch in my two cents about this place…read more I think it'd be good to get to know this place from a students point of view. I've been going here for two years now, currently in my Sophomore year which has been an interesting journey. I had a few first hard months when I got here because a majority of my friends had gone to Ingraham. I quickly became familiar with the building as it's pretty geometrically shaped and easy to navigate. I had no trouble finding my classes and the "pods" as they call them are very easy to find, same with the classes within this pods. The teachers though, are really a hit or miss. You either get a fantastic teacher who is willing to interact with their students and engage academically as well as socially with them--at the right time of course. Then you can wind up with someone that doesn't have any charisma or, by the looks of it, no motivation to teach at all. I imagine that there is a middle ground somewhere in there but from my experience and others, it seems to be one or the other. The admin, for the most part, are amazing. Extremely helpful and most of the time, can come to a resolution to whatever you're dealing with. My counselor, (which is curated by last name) Mr. Kramer was very helpful when I came in to talk about my classes and succeeding academically. He gave me insight into what could be best for me to do to achieve and I think it's worked out great. Even though I did have a speed bump with one of the VP's, I can still say that the admins are great. Now, it's not really my place to tell someone how this school is by the way the people are because everyone has different personal experiences, but there is one large recurring problem in this place. The drug and alcohol abuse is extremely prominent and is honestly something I hate having to deal with. I know what the adults will say; "it's high school, people will experiment." At the level it's at here, this isn't experimenting. I get when students want to try marijuana or cigarettes but I think it's well past experimentation when you have kids dealing cocaine, meth and other hardcore drugs right outside at the bus stop. Same with the buying and selling of alcohol, it can happen right in front of a faculty and they'll do nothing, at most just give the kid a slap on the wrist. The overall environment of this school is gloomy. I can have fun but at the same time it's just sad. There are classrooms with no windows and the tint of the tungsten lights can just put you to sleep. That is why I enjoy being on the second floor where windows line of the top of the hallways and let some natural light in. Anyways, thanks for reading this if you do.

I have come to the Innis Arden Clubhouse over the years since the 1990s for a variety of events…read moresuch as the annual Rummage Sale (conceptually similar to a garage sale), swim team events, meetings, community events, rentals and parties, and voting as both an attendee/participant and as a worker. When I was very young, we're talking about 5-6 years old, my parents came here to vote physically at the voting stations and turn in their ballots. This is where things got exciting as a kid. They gave us each thick paper (more like cardboard) ballots and the devices to punch our votes into the ballot, yeah none of the fill in the circle etiquette of today. Punching in our 'pretend' ballots was fun and perhaps the best part about voting at the Clubhouse was that we got to see our friends, neighbors, community members, and other people when we went to vote. Still view this as a better system than the impersonal absentee ballot and dropbox approach of modern times. Physical voting stations are a reminder that what one is voting for affects real people other than oneself and the communities we live in. In terms of layout, there is a kitchen, a larger room where tables and chairs can be set-up, a closet area, entry way, and restrooms. The Clubhouse is a large venue space with an outdoor patio with metal picnic tables on the backside facing a playground and a basketball court. The frontside of the Clubhouse faces the street. A large stone with "Innis Arden CLUBHOUSE" on it is visible from the road in front of the Clubhouse. Parking is shared with the adjacent pool, play area and field, and tennis courts so if there is a lot going on at these locations parking may be difficult to find which may mean needing to street park one's car a ways away and walk to the Clubhouse. I live about a third of a mile to half a mile from the Clubhouse depending on the route taken and have typically walked or arrived super early to park my car if coming during busy times.
