Sadly this is the 2nd time I had a break in in Washington 1st time Seattle police wouldn't help the report was online only so I will never stay in Seattle again but if all officers in Tukwila police department are like offer Schutt I will stay in Tukwila again just not at the embassy suites. Thank you again for being great!

There are several reasons buying a house in Seatac was the worst decision of my life, but the main…read morereason is the noise. I have roosters next door. 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.

I wanted to get Global Entry for me and my family. Because my airport (Portland) doesn't seem to…read moreconduct interviews, SeaTac was my only real option within a 3 hour radius. So I booked it for a Friday a few months out and decided to make a weekend out of it in Seattle. We arrived at least 30 minutes early to our appointment and they called us up to the window almost immediately. The officers were quite gruff and didn't say much, but they got us through and on our way in 10 minutes - talk about efficiency! All in all, I think it was worth doing so that I have less hassle on my next international flight.

When flying Icelandair home from Reykjavik, I usually end up arriving in Seattle and going through…read moreUS Customs & Border Protection, prior to my connecting flight back home. The last time was just a couple days ago after finishing a most satisfying 4-day Laugavegur trail, followed by a pleasant side trip to Stykkishólmur and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This latest experience was smooth, with no issues. This was similar to previous experiences. I also easily finished my Global Entry Interview while I was here. The only confusion was trying to figure out where to go for my connecting flight after I was finished. Taking the train to the main terminal was easy enough, but from there required airport "Spidey sense" to not only find the Security Line, but the one that takes TSA Pre. Gayle and I did have an interesting "incident" here several years ago as we returned from Iceland. It was the Christmas Season and we had received our Iceland "Yule Lads" present on our door at our Reykjavik Hotel. That consisted of a Washington State apple, that we simply packed away without any additional thought. Fast forward to US Customs where the Beagle sniffed out our USA fruit, which necessitated a full search or our baggage. Those Yule Lads certainly had the last laugh.

Of course airport security is an abysmal experience. One helpful tool I would recommend is a sign…read more Give me a sign! Tell passengers why we have to perform personal antics to satisfy TSA. Here's my sign: You must remove your shoes, belt and jacket because you might be hiding something. Remove your iPad or laptop and place it in a bin or you will be held up later while and agent searches it. Remove your bottles of lotion or shampoo and place them in a bin. If you don't, you will wait while an agent opens your bulging suitcase and lays eyes in your bottles. Don't forget to clear out your drink bottles! I hate being stopped for this reason. TSA: give us a sign.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!…read more So they flip flopped the TSA Pre-check / CLEAR lines again. Then I'm actually waiting in a line to go through security. Then every pilot is cutting line which is BULLS$$T cause they should have alternative passage way. Now this is where IT hits the fan! Folks I'm wearing sweatpants & shirt. I go through x-ray and they say we need to frisk you down the system showed something in groin area.. I know I'm gifted but not for x-ray to have an issue.. So the gentleman who's now embarrassed shares the good news of how he needs to violate me. I felt like Jody Foster in "THE ACCUSED", I'm completely man handled out in the open. Needless to say I passed with flying colors and now he's scared for life of rubbing between my legs & butt. He should have done the moonwalk after the groping since I came close to being a Michael Jackson victim... Get your act together TSA !

The police officers were very uptight though. I was only there doing paperwork with the city clerk. They walked in frowning and I smiled and winked at them and said "here comes trouble" and one of them snorted at me. Lol get your panties out of a bunch boys and have a sense of humor. If police officers wonder why the general public doesn't like them, these guys would be the perfect example. If you're a peace officer, learn to have a little fun and live a little. Not everyone is a criminal or bad guy. I hope the vote is against them and they get rid of these guys. I would not feel safe calling you for help.

Then instead of moving her truck to clear the other 3 cans she stays parked in the disabled spot and WALKS across the park slowly collecting garbage. No consideration what so ever!! Today is fairly infuriating! As we sit at the park, I see and hear workers working on the park, but you have the dread girl and her 3 coworkers chit chatting at their rigs doing no real work! Thanks to the people who actually put in the work to keep this park pleasant and safe!

VERY CLEAN MODERN LIBRARY…read more The library is part of the King County Library system and is located in the Burian City Hall mixed use structure which was built in 2009 and so it is a fairly new space. It also houses the City Council meeting room, which is currently being used for storage as the council has been meeting on-line since Covid. The library has many computers for members to use for job searches, email etc. You can also print stuff if you need to. When I was there I only saw a couple of people using the PCs out what must have been about 30 of them? The space is very bright with lots of natural light coming in through the windows. It has two floors and has an enclosed "Study Room" on the second floor, but really there are many places to sit, and of course, the library is very, very quiet. The first floor has a very nice children's section with small stools and tables suitable for kids. There are a variety of DVDs and CDs to borrow and of course an assortment of books, as well a large section devoted to Washington State and Seattle history! One of my favorite features is the Newspaper Magazine section. Just grab today's paper, or your favorite magazine and read all you want in a comfortable lounge like environment. No need to buy or borrow as long as you are inside the library. BTW, if you enjoyed my review or found it useful funny or cool, please don't hesitate to click the little button to say so, or better yet, go ahead and friend me. So go on!

I go here a couple times a month mostly to print some things off (ya girl really needs to invest in a printer...) and I've checked out some books once or twice. MOST of the librarians I've dealt with have been kind. There was one older lady who was not my cup of tea, but whatever. I wouldn't recommend coming here to work or study at all, though. This is an extreme hotspot for the local kids because of the free internet, books, etc. There's kids of all ages here, unsupervised, a lot. It's very common for them to be yelling and running around inside and outside of the library. The selection for books here is much smaller than the Kent and Covington library as well, but it does the job.
