This summer and fall, I took two watercolor classes (each six-weeks long) with Robin Bundi through…read moreNorth Seattle College Continuing Education. Both classes were fun, informative, and affordable. I learned so much and my love for painting with watercolors grew with each class. The North Seattle College campus is easy to get to and has plenty of parking. The buildings aren't labeled in the best way, but it's a small campus, so take time to walk around before your first class and you will figure it out. The campus is clean and the classrooms were comfortable. I like all the art work there around campus and the supportive signage inside the buildings. Even though the architecture is Brutalist, I find that there is a warmth there. I look forward to taking more classes at North Seattle College in the future.

The instructors have been delightful and generous with their time throughout, and on occasion have the distinction of being local public access celebrities (Hi, Professor Fred!). I know I'll keep coming back for more.

This past growing season I bought a half share in the Seattle Tilth CSA. I've gotten CSA boxes…read morethrough several other farms before (both in Seattle and Wisconsin) and the Seattle Tilth CSA really delivered. Each week the produce was diverse, fresh, and delicious. Items were well selected and I had very little produce go to waste. The half share was a good amount for my wife and I. I also really liked the add-on options; we were out of town one week, and were able to get credit, we used our credit to select goat cheese and honey from the add-on options. That goat cheese was truly incredible! I've also got to commend Seattle Tilth for their educational programming and community empowerment work. Really a great resource for our city.

I was there to take the GMAT and it was the worst experience. This test center is in what looks…read morelike an abandoned building. The main entry says "use the side door" and when I tried every single side door they were all locked. There was no signs and no one in sight. I legit spent 30 minutes thinking I was in the wrong place and trying to get inside the building and another 15 minutes trying to find the room. The staff were not friendly and sounded extremely condescending. I arrived there in a good mood and after interacting with the staff made me feel crappy. I feel like they were giving me an attitude. people are nervous before exams and it surely doesn't help if staff makes you feel even worse. I get a feeling that the staff is not trying to be helpful and do not care about test takers at all. In summary, for your test performance and a pleasurable experience, do not choose this test center! (Also for internationals taking GMAT, pls bring your passport as I had to run back for it)

Well, it's not like you have too much choice when taking standardized tests like the GRE or GMAT,…read morebut these folks still get 4 stars in my book. It was clean, well-lit and warm, whereas I was expecting DMV-style gross, overcrowded and cold. Everyone there was actually really nice and they made the process of testing as painless as it could be, short of giving me the answers or taking the test for me... If you're weighing your options between this location and the one in Renton, well, all I can say is this place was reasonably nice and I'd have no problem taking another test here.

The staff are plentiful, efficient, friendly and safe. Each wear masks and gloves, speak to you from a distance through car windows then packing boxes into your car (trunk/backseat as you request) before waving you through to the exit. Of the three visits we have made, we haven't waited more than 15 minutes to get through the line-up.

I just signed up for the summer workshop and attended the first meeting. Ev does a good job of directing folks on what to play, how to play it and getting them to grow musically. There were lots of horns the day I went: tenor saxes, trombone and trumpet. A couple of piano and guitar players, bass players and some wonderful singers and percussionists. We played some blues and some jazz standards and it all came out sounding better than you would expect for a bunch of folks who hadn't played together. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in Jazz and performing live music. The studio location is easy to find and well situated in a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking.
