I attend the open sewing classes when I get hung up or need an extra push to finish a project. Another note I am a garment sewer and it is hard to find teachers who actually know how to fit clothes besides pj bottoms and make polished finished garments. I also took the Classic shirt class, which I believe was very informative, I wish I would have taken more notes. All class are a very welcoming environment for whatever level you are at. On the other reviewer's 1 star rating for missing your class is your own fault and the website isn't secretive about the cancelation policy. You damage small businesses this way when there are so little reviews.

Unfortunately, my young daughter's sewing class was scheduled during the Christmas holiday, and…read morewith school being out and everything that comes with the holidays, I completely missed the class. As a single mother juggling holiday responsibilities, it was an honest mistake. I contacted the school immediately, hoping they would allow her to attend another class, but I was told she would have to pay another $180 to make up the one she missed. What disappointed me most wasn't the policy itself--it was the complete lack of understanding or flexibility. This class was a Christmas gift for my daughter, and there was no attempt to work with us or offer any reasonable solution. I also believe this situation could have been avoided altogether if the school had a better reminder system. A simple text message, email, or automated reminder before class would help prevent situations like this, especially during busy holiday periods. I hope they consider improving both their customer service and communication so other families don't have the same experience

I got the pizza quesadilla and while it was pretty basic it did genuinely taste good, especially dipped in their marinara sauce. Big pieces of pepperoni and melted cheese. The chicken bites were decent, the breading was a little thicker than I would have liked but the chicken meat was moist. The slushie was, well, a slushie. It didn't feel overpriced and as far as having food in the building after kiddos play for hours and hours, I was pretty happy with our meal. It's worth it to just grab some lunch here if the kids are hungry!

I don't understand why there is so much support from Washington State employees to have a union. I…read morealone can honestly say the union does not respond to state employees when there is a need. I used to be a member, and on multiple occasions, I called on the union in Olympia and Tacoma offices for needed help, and each time, not one person could help (e.g., comments are typically "I will forward your call..." or "Let me take your name and number, and have someone call you back"). As a former union member, it was a costly lost as an employee for the State of Washington. For example, there were several instances I need representation at Western State Hospital and at the Special Commitment Center, and not one person from Olympia or Tacoma responded. Not one representative from within SCC or WSH responded to my request for assistance. Really people! You honestly believe the union is an effective means for getting state employees increases, better benefits, and hold our leadership accountable? In June 2018, I needed to take educational leave for my professional licenses and board certification, and DSHS/DDA refused to allow the educational leave request. The executive leadership (where I currently work within DSHS/DDA) refused to acknowledge what is written in our current Collective Bargaining Agreement regarding educational leave benefits. Under our Agreement, section 8.5 Education and Training Requests, it states, "All education and training requests will be approved or disapproved within thirty (30) calendar days from the submission of a properly completed request. If a request is denied, the Employer will provide a reason for the denial to the employee. Upon request, the Employer will provide the reason for the denial in writing." The only way I could take leave for continuing education credits, was to use my annual leave. At WSH I had five days a year I could take education leave for my continuing education, but at DDA they do not recognize this process. How is the union holding the State of Washington accountable for not allowing employees to have access to their educational leave? Why one part of DSHS allowing the leave, and another area within DSHS refuses to allow any educational leave? If the union is going to represent state employees in Washington, they need to understand this former member has nothing positive to say other than, "Thank you for getting us our COLA." There is simply no responsivity, collaboration, and definitively no consistency in their communications between offices. I called the Olympia and Tacoma union offices on 07/09/2018, asking if our state employee's COLA increase were happening this month (July). Both times, none of the representatives who answered the phone could tell me if the increases were going to happen or not.
