My compliments to the chefs that prepared the meals for Tuesday, October 13, 2020…read more but not anymore Haven't tasted the chicken yet, but know it is going to be good. I even give my dog a taste or two and I know she would eat the whole meal if I let her, maybe I should order meals for her too (you don't think she is spoiled do you?), that is OK, she is the love of my life. If you have anyone there that would like to walk her she would love it as I am housebound and don't get her out like I used to.....used to go to the dog park everyday, but not any more. Thank you for making my life so my so much happier and easier, and thank you for the nice delivery people, they care, you all care!!!! Terry Logan

This inviting place, just around the corner from the Ballard Locks, is a great place to send your parents, grandparents, neighbors, elders in general. There is a weekday lunch served daily, for just $3 a person. If you're under 60 and want to accompany your grams, it's $6 for you and lunch is pretty much made from scratch, no awful canned slop served here! There are tons of activities, classes, events, trips, and a weekly Wednesday night dinner for $7 per person. They show movies after dinner for $2 a person and a bingo game with a $6 buy-in. Every two months they do RAINBOW BINGO! How cool is that? A drag queen hostess calling bingo in a senior center? Hooray! Nurses come during the week to do free blood pressure/blood sugar screenings and foot care. Did I mention fitness classes? There is even a senior Zumba class, slowed down and geared toward the older set, but still full of energy and joyful Latin jams. There is legal and financial help available and even tax prep. It's so vital that older folks have a resource to keep busy, fulfilled and involved in living and this is a great place to start.

The first time we went to take a look at the facility we noticed it was so clean and bright, there were lots of friendly tenants and activities going on. The faculty was so cheery and helpful giving us a tour and a lunch that was actually quite good. My dad is walking and getting out of his room every day with other people to talk to and dine with. This has been a blessing for my sisters and I to not have to worry about dad and to see him adapting so well. Carmen, Elaine and Shelley

I recently attended the ADIS/VIP classes and it was very very worth every penny and my time. Bill,…read morethe owner was very warm and welcoming. Linda Irish who spent most of the day was very welcoming, easy to converse with, very informing, the list of positives goes on and on. Not only that, she is, in my opinion, a very true caring person of all of us in the class. New Life Recovery is blessed to have her working for them and all of us. What a wonderful human being to have met. Like she said "things happen for a reason". I got to meet a class of great people too and I truly learned a lot.

I have been to a few facilities in effort to straighten my life out but New Life is special. It is like a precious gem nestled behind the eastside alano club. The staff employed there are amazing in their values and ethics. They want everyone to succeed and they go to amazing lengths to do so. I am so grateful for New Life Recovery.

We've been at WorldKids since 2021, across 3 locations and 2 kids. The education and care they…read morehave received has been excellent, the teachers and on-site staff are fantastic, and we've overall been happy with our kids' experiences there. The only significant downside has been that we have had continual billing issues going back almost 2 years. You have to stay on top of your statements to ensure you are not overcharged. We've had to manually prompt many times over the past year and a half to rectify these issues. This knocks *at least* one star off. I still highly recommend the school part - our kids have learned an incredible amount.

I am so appreciative a non profit like ACRS exists. I've referred so many people to ACRS who…read moreneeded assistance and who were in crisis. Over the years, I've attended events and socials in which ACRS staff were present and I got to see them in community. The agencies hard work speaks volumes to the impact and social change that staff do. I love the food bank referrals, clinical resources, and translation services. I want to nominate ACRS for non profit of the year. I'm not sure if it's too late and I'll nominate them next year also. Seattle is lucky to have such a wonderful agency like this. Also, shout out to Dillon who is an amazing change agent.

Not a bunch of corporate floats - instead actual people smiling at each other and wandering through local businesses and and sitting in the sun. During pandemic times - they're doing a pop up drive-in! They've put a lot of work into turning a parking lot into a drive-in movie space and making it so everyone has room to see and everyone is masked up outside of the drive-in. They're playing mostly feel-good classics - like A League of their Own - but we also saw the more recent Rocketman. Sound comes through the radio in your car. Concessions too - only downside is there's not fresh popcorn - but probably safest to not have that right now anyway. Inside bathroom just in case.

I think if you wait till later in the season you get more vendors and a variety of items. The location is great with lots of parking! During lunch they have live music!! Today I saw fresh flowers, honey, snow cones, bread, gluten free treats, pasta, cookies, some art/crafts, jewelry, lots of produce, dairy, ready to eat food and some info booths. All the vendors are nice and prices are great! One sad part is the time of the market Thursday 11-6 not the best time for most people.

For summer, there's a spray park (really fun and very popular; you can sit on the grass and picnic while the kids play in the water). Some activities require a small fee, still very reasonable. Inside and outside are interesting works of art, many from local artists, and lots of opportunities to play sports or workout. You can walk around the area a bit, and right nextdoor is Green River. Only downside is the bridge that is still one way (long story) making it necessary to go a long way around at times. Wonderful staff. Highly recommend if you are a Tukwila resident.
