Plenty of street parking, at least on a Sunday evening, and easy street-level entry. Pass through a small lobby space and find yourself in a delightful, square-shaped room with tall ceilings, cozy lighting and a feeling of warmth. A kitchen is available for use to the renters, as is a small stage atop which can be found a standing piano, whose sounds carry beautifully throughout the establishment. The room is large enough to host a number of people, tables, chairs, etc.; yet contained enough to feel warm and full.

I was getting married and I needed a place to have the event. I wasn't looking for anything grand…read morebecause that translates to expensive in the wedding world. Hell, anything attached with the word "wedding" is typically expensive. Truth be told I really wanted to get married in a brewery but that didn't pan out due to unresponsive beer garden managers. I remembered a friend of mine had an art show at the Lakewood Seward Park Community Club years back. As I walked past tables filled with art for sale I looked around the place and thought it was charming. Never again did I think back to the venue until I needed one and my original plans felll through. This was the only place I was going to get hitched at because it was all I needed. While it is rather simple inside, it has charm and potential. The main room is the perfect size for small to medium sized gatherings (it can fit 150 seated people). You have a clean slate to work with, all white walls, a stage, and hardwood floors, and the size is manageable enough that you don't feel overwhelmed. The price is very reasonable considering the cost of other venues. Many similar venues were higher in price. You rent by the hour and included in the rental are tables, chairs, and use of the kitchen. There is a coat room which was converted into a dressing room for my event and the yard to the side of the building is spacious. Another positive is the venue allows dogs inside. The best thing about the clubhouse? Sheila, the venue coordinator. I can't praise her enough! She responded to my e-mails in a timely manner and answered all of my many questions. She was always available to let me view the venue when I was in the planning stages. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to get married in. It fit my now husband and I's vision of having a fun relaxed DIY wedding.

A great location with neighborhood views, access to public transportation and several amenities…read more We attended a Baha'i Naw Ruz (New Year) Party, here and loved the space for its large room, easily accommodating 150+ guests. They allow for outside catering, have tables and chairs set up for you, and offer AV equipment for projecting videos and using the mic. There are sinks and small counter spaces available as well as a large, slightly raised stage two steps up for performances and performers. Overall, a nice space!

I've been to many events at NewHolly both as a guest and a customer. The facility is clean,…read morespacious, and easy to find. A parking lot is available but can fill up quickly, depending on the size of your event and other activities that may be going on. There is an upstairs and downstairs but the hall itself is on the main level (or upstairs). On one side of the building, there is a lounge area near the bathrooms. It is a very clean, well kept space to sit and chill out away from the action. On the other side is the gathering hall. The hall itself has beautiful wood floors and large windows. If your event requires darker quarters, the shades can be drawn easily. Right where the windows are, there is a stage that covers the width of the hall. There are stairs all the way across and two accessible ramps up each side. The stage can fit a variety of needs and they have a podium and other tables that can be set up there, depending on your needs. I've been to most events where round tables are used. Other sets can be with chairs only. There is a sink on each side of the back of the hall as well as areas to hang coats, which I think is a necessity in Seattle. The staff is fantastic! They are flexible and easy to work with in order to meet your needs. I have to say that aside from having things set according to a floor plan, they recognize that it is possible you may have last minute changes and are very accommodating. Before you enter the hall, there is a hallway that can be set as a check-in area. I find that really helpful as people don't get clogged right inside the doors. If you're looking for a facility, you should consider NewHolly. They have tons of information on their website about cost and such. A great facility run by great people. Who could ask for more?

Love this place…read more I've been playing pickleball here for a few months and the courts are great. The owner is very personable and the people that frequent this place are very friendly. There are 2 indoor sand volleyball courts (with the GOOD sand) and 2 indoor pickleball courts with the outdoor court surface. The building inside is well lit and comfortable. Also there's a parking lot! This is a gem to have so close in Columbia city and I hope more people find and use it

We were so grateful to partner with Studio 2 You for our school's auction!…read more Davicia was wonderful to work with--kind, professional, and incredibly generous with her time and talent. She not only delivered the pieces herself but also fired them with a quick turnaround to ensure they were ready in time. The vases were WONDEFUL and made a lot of money for our school! I would highly recommend Studio 2 You to anyone who values thoughtful craftsmanship and supporting local artists, especially those who care about giving back to schools and communities. Thank you again, Davicia, for being such a bright part of our event!

The space isn't overly large, but that actually works in its favor--it comfortably fits a good-sized audience while still feeling intimate, which makes performances more engaging. One of the things we liked most is the setting. It's located right in front of a park and open lawn, which makes it easy to turn the evening into more of an experience. You could easily do a picnic outside and then head in for a show. We came here to see Ablaye Cissoko & Cyrille Brotto, and the venue really complemented the performance. It's one of those places where the environment adds to the overall experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're attending an event here.

The horses were ready when we arrived and we learned their back stories and personalities before getting in the saddle. The ride was beautiful and the perfect way to spend a morning. Debbie shared local history and kindly guided us through the woods. My oldest was ecstatic to be on a "a regular size" horse as the lessons she has taken always had her on ponies. My 4 YO safely rode in front of me. I can't say enough good things. My almost 7 YO called it "the best birthday present ever!" And I have no doubt we'll be back for another ride.
