    Such a pain to go through security. Lost a large expensive item from my baby stroller there.

    I'm not really sure how to rate a justice center. It's not like I have a lot to compare it to and…read moreit does not care what you or I really think of it. I arrived here to fulfill jury duty. I had read the reviews ahead of time and took it to heart. I arrived early, found a spot in the garage, brought reading materials, and was good to go. Yes, there's full security here and in my experience this mirrors other government buildings. The officers were serious but cracked a few jokes. The lines moved swiftly. Up to the second floor I went abandoning the elevator as it seemed painfully slow. There are two different types of chairs - soft cushion chairs or plastic chairs. I opted for the soft chairs. The day I went was apparently a light court day as only 100 people were in the room leaving many seats empty. Unlike most people I was selected as part of a panel within 90 minutes. We went to the fourth floor to the courtroom there. The courtroom was much like I expected a courtroom to look. I seriously suspect there's one architect in the whole country who designs courtrooms because they all do look the same. I found the judge to be exceedingly patient. I found the bailiff to be very professional. The lawyers were lawyers. We spent time listening to various questions that helped determine the jury pool. We broke for lunch for 90 minutes. I walked over to Kent Station to take up time. It is a very short walk. Upon returning one of the jurors was MIA so we had to wait until she showed up and then the court decided to take a break so it was another 30 minutes before questions resumed. It was a very interesting process. I don't regret not being selected but I enjoyed seeing how the process worked.

    Ok, so I've been selected as a juror for my very first jury duty. It is by law that if your jury…read moreduty is in King County Superior Court, you are obligated to attend a two-day doody doody. FML! Just hoping I'm not selected to a jury panel for consideration as a juror by the end of my second day, otherwise I am obligated to attend the full length of the trial. They pay you $10/day for attending and payments are processed every two weeks. Also, whoever drives to the court house gets mileage reimbursement, whoopidy whoo! So I came in 15 minutes prior to 8am. Half of the room is filled with people. Now, it's 8:30am and orientation has not even started, yet! This blows! And they tell you not to be late for jury doody?! Oh for crying out loud! People are still checking in and I have not seen the judge, yet!

As I got over to the right lane to make a right hand turn on a yellow light - car next to me went through the yellow light too only he went straight and I turned right. I got a ticket in the mail for running a red light so I go to review my dashcam, go through it and sure enough, I went through two yellow lights, even the ticket shows a yellow lights. BUT, after researching it further, evidently. there was a red light "arrow" over on the sidewalk for this specific lane. 1. I was looking up at the two lights above that were TURNING yellow at the time I made the right hand turn, always look to verify no one was coming from the left or across the way. 2. Why on earth would the light on the sidewalk be red BEFORE the other two lights above? 3. Why would all three lights not be in sync? 4. Why is there no signs alerting drivers to a THIRD light for the right hand lane is on the the SIDEWALK and that you have cameras on that specific lane....seems like a set up. I am 55 years old and have a flawless, and I mean flawless driving record, and I sincerely believe I was innocent as I made a legal right hand turn on a yellow light. It's beyond me, why there is a need to have a third light off to the side on the SIDEWALK that would be red BEFORE the other lights turn red (NOTE: THIS LIGHT is much lower that the other two lights) This was unfair to have to pay $124.00 for taking a right hand turn on a two yellow lights. AGAIN, two out of three lights were yellow. NO REASON FOR THE TURN LANE TO BE RED BEFORE THE OTHER LIGHTS TURNED RED. This was their response...."I agree, the lights for the straight ahead traffic were amber at the time you made your turn, however the light controlling your lane was red. Also, I reviewed many "3 light set-ups" like this in my town of Vancouver WA and they are ALL in sync, I can't find even one sidewalk light that is RED before the other two turn red. Many sidewalk lights or right lane lights are green while the other two are red but never red before the other two turn red. To me...this three light setup is DECEPTIVE and it going to get unsuspecting drivers every time. BUT, this is REVENUE for the City of Puyallup.

I made the appointment online and prior to the appointment, I received an email from one of the office technician, Kennedy Courtney and a follow up phone call to confirm the appointment and to see if I had any questions. I definitely wasn't expecting that type of thoroughness from a government agency. Upon arrival, there were ample of parking space and the building was super easy to find. The passport office shares the same building as the police department and is on the 2nd floor. When you get there, there's a touchscreen tv that you can check in at, but there was a nice lady there that said she can help check us in while we wait. Kennedy helped us with the passport process and we were in and out within minutes. Keep up the great work, Federal Way. My mother was impress with the whole process.

Signs in the parking lot provided clear directions to the entrance for the city hall and the court. I was looking for a ballot dropbox per the dropbox information I received in the mail along with my ballot. Looking for the ballot dropbox by the front of the building I did not immediately sight the box. Turns out it was located along the road above where I parked my car. It was visible from the front of the city hall, just not located at the entrance. A sidewalk provided means of dropping off my ballot via foot.

There is no law against roosters, a creature known for aggressive behavior and making excessive noise. For three years I have been asking the city to do something. Every night I am woken up, sometimes as early as 2:30 am. When I say every night, I mean every night, including Christmas. After visiting the code complaint office several times and opening two seperate cases, finally some action was taken. Unfortunately, it took several months and speaking in front of the city council until there was any results. Still, I am woken up in the middle of every night. The animal hoarding situation next door went from a ridiculous 30+ birds to the code compliant 4, one still being a rooster. The city says since the neighbors are now code complaint they are done. Now they don't even return my emails. The city of Seatac seems to strongly oppose any change, even something as common sense as simple legislation against roosters. Every other city and town in the tri-county area has a law in effect but Seatac. Do yourself a favor and don't move here. The city is more concerned with creating watch lists for Islamic residents than addressing any of your concerns. At one time my mail was stolen and I had to wait 8 hours for a cop who basically said I should have had a locking mailbox. I am currently saving up to move out of this noisy disappointment of a neighborhood.

    It feels weird leaving a review on Yelp for the Department of Licensing, but I wanted to give a…read moremassive shout out to the best DMV experience I've ever had. I had an appointment to update my EDL as I realized it expired next year on my birthday (in early April, when I'll be out of the country). I looked online and they had multiple same-day appointments or ones roughly 3 weeks out, so I decided to do a same-day appointment about an hour and half later. I grabbed all my documents (I ended up not needed them since I already had my EDL and was just renewing but it was unclear based on the DOL website), then headed to Kent. My appt was at 10:45 but I showed up at 10:37. I checked in via text, then walked in. The front desk worker confirmed that it was indeed me and I did indeed check in online, then directed me to the waiting area. My number was called roughly 90 seconds later, and then I was able to get my eyes checked, take my picture, and confirm my information within the next couple minutes. I was back out at my car to leave at 10:42, before the time of my actual appointment. Huge shout out to the main representative I worked with, Ashley, who was kind, efficient, and fun in an environment that is typically perceived as none of those things. She also had the cutest pink keyboard and was a great representation of the WA DOL.

At that time, they were at #360. The numbers were being called randomly at times for Walk-Ins and Appointments, so had to keep an eye on the monitor for the number and ding sound. The PA system or volume was so low you could hardly hear anything. Was sitting in the waiting area for over an hour. Got called up at 10:45 AM. Shared my required documents (Mail with Name and Home Address on it, a valid U.S. Passport) and current Driver's License. The lady who assisted me was very friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable and provided adequate details and information about what the Real ID is included with - Radio Frequency Identification) technology, a unique identifier to confirm the authenticity of the ID. After verifying my information on the screen, she took a photo of me and requested the payment. It was only $21.00 since my current driver's license doesn't expire until 2027, so have to wait until 2026 to renew it for an additional 8-year one since it has to be within a year or less until your Driver's License expires to be able to get the extended one. Thanked the nice lady and exited the DMV. It was a good experience, overall... The waiting period was as expected, so be aware of that when you visit... Also, there aren't enough parking spaces close by during peak times, so you might have to park in the back or across the street.
