The north cascades national park is great for camping! As part of our camping trip we decided to do the boat tour that takes our around the dams and you get to learn about the history of the area. You're on the boat for about an hour. Did you know that about 20% of the electricity in Seattle comes from these dams? We were able to book a tour for the day after, but I recommended calling in advance as they also have the morning tour which includes lunch and seems to book much faster. We did that one a couple of years ago. There several hike trails, we did the one that ends by the water falls which was fairly easy. There are black bears around but we didn't run into any. There is also access to the water if you like to kayak or float. Oh and near the visitor center they have WiFi!

I'm an ASC Nurse Manager for a busy surgery center in Seattle WA. To fulfill the yearly mock code…read moretraining, we decided to bring an outside company into our facility to evaluate our plan and give us feedback. I was able to find Mark by word of mouth from another ASC Nurse Manager, who had nothing but positive things to say about him. Hands down, Mark was amazing! He ran through some scenarios with us; realistic to our patient selection, and we utilized different areas of our facility (OR, PACU, waiting room). Key points: 1. Mark is professional, confident and an expert in his profession. 2. He always brought us back to the basics when we deviated off course. 3. He stressed the importance of utilizing everyone at the office. From the front office staff calling 911, rotating CPR, scribing; to the trained ACLS staff doing the medications and assisting with anesthesia. 4. One of the best parts of the class...he provided an atmosphere for staff to ask questions and really engage in the learning opportunity without fear of "not knowing the answer" or looking bad in front of other coworkers. Everyone, including the MD's felt this education opportunity was worthwhile and we will definitely have him back next year. Thanks Mark!

Bottom line incredible experience. I have lived in Seattle for almost my entire life but it was…read moreunique to see it from this perspective. I had been wanting to do a seaplane tour but the weather forecast was rain the entire week. When I woke up on a Friday and saw it was a sunny (more or less) day, I called around to a few places to see if I could grab a last minute appointment. James with Seaplane Scenics was very friendly and accommodating and let me know his whole afternoon was open. I called at around 1PM and scheduled a 3PM appointment, and 2 hours later I was at the Renton airport ready to take off. The plane was a 4 seater - 2 in the front, 2 in the back. James gave us the option of sitting in the back together or putting one person up in front in the co-pilots seat (we opted to sit in the back). There were great views all around, and I could easily see even on the other side so seating was not a big deal at all. We had headsets and radios to communicate clearly over the motor, which was great as James gave a very entertaining and informative tour. We did a loop from Renton up to UW, around to Discovery Park, and then back around the Seattle waterfront. James pointed out Paul Allen and Bill Gates' houses, different parks, other landmarks, and would dip the plane to one side to give us a better view. Overall really exciting and incredible experience. James and his staff were amazingly friendly and jovial and made the experience that much better. Pro tip: duck when you get off the plane, my girlfriend hit her head.

Soulless and inconsiderate small business. Do not get tricked by the official website's ticket and…read morepackage options. They are all arbitrary depending on the mood and the weather of the people who work there, including James (the man in charge). If you are a couple please note that you may be put into a plane with other people regardless of what plane and option you picked. You will not know about it until you get to the meeting point and one couple will not get to sit together. Thus, it may be better to look into other companies and there are others! If you are planning to go as a group, there are better and more professional establishments which are cheaper and/or same priced. The only saving point of this establishment is Mark (seaplane pilot) who made all the efforts to not only ensure that our experience on the air was great but also to redeem the Company. Overall, in the state where aviation is one of the major industries, there are better, more professional, and cost efficient companies and small businesses. Try them. They will have more respect and consideration for your experience. If you insist on booking from this establishment, exaggerate your weight to make sure that they cannot fly anyone with you.

Our family has participated in several Camp Fire programs around the Pacific Northwest, and we…read moreattended the Camp Kirby day camp in July 2025. While my daughter seemed to enjoy herself and spoke positively about the experience, the overall setup left me uneasy as a parent. Camp Kirby is located on a small island about 35 minutes from Bellingham. The setting is rustic and remote, and you have to drive very slowly down a long road to reach it. It's an unusual place, quiet and tucked away, but also far removed from anything else. The biggest issue for me was the lack of transparency and connection with the camp itself. Drop-off and pickup were tightly controlled: you wait in a long car line, staff approach your window, and then you're expected to drive off. There was no opportunity to meet the counselors, interact with other parents, or even glimpse the facilities. I asked nicely twice during the week if I could just see where my daughter was spending her day, and was told both times to email the director due to camper privacy. I understand wanting to protect kids, but other Camp Fire locations I've attended have found ways to balance privacy with openness. Here, I left every day with no idea what the camp looked like or what was going on inside. Communication was also minimal. Other camps send daily updates with photos and summaries. At Kirby we received one brief email and a photo album with a single blurry side photo of my daughter. I strongly recommend that Camp Kirby improve transparency by posting photos or videos of the grounds and facilities online. Even a virtual tour would go a long way toward helping parents understand where their kids will be all week. As it stands, I still have no idea what the space looks like. They offer one open house in the spring, but unless you live nearby, that's not realistic. The counselors seemed kind, though a little overwhelmed. And while my daughter's experience may have been positive, I genuinely don't know, because parents are kept completely at arm's length. I wouldn't recommend this camp unless you live nearby or already know someone with firsthand experience. They need to build more trust with parents and provide a clearer window into what's actually happening during the week.

Great,naturalistic camp for kids. One of the few remaining open-water / salt-water summer camps…read moreleft. Our kids love going there year after year. They have waterfront & camp craft programs, tee pees, tree houses and cabins for ages 5 - 14. Would recommend.
