Just had a bizarre experience here after being a customer here for years. I started at the Tacoma…read morelocation looking for stretcher bars by the master series in 24, 36, 30, and 40s. Tacoma was out but the sweet sales associates offered to order or call Seattle. I overheard them on the phone confirming various sizes. So I thanked them & drove up to Seattle. I noticed the Seattle location didn't have the sizes I was told, I asked the guy in charge of frames/ stretchers and he claimed I asked for one size then showed me a different brand from what was confirmed over the phone, a heavy duty variety. When I expressed frustration of being told the wrong thing, he walked off pouting, didn't offer to order any for me like Tacoma did. Not wanting to leave empty handed I grabbed a couple off sizes so I can work. On my way to check out, I informed my friend of what just occured and placed the stretchers at the register. The clerk said "You need to check out over there, Sir." My flabbers were gasted! My monocle popped out! I said "Sir? I'm not a sir!". This was strange and shocking to me. So I went to the proper clerk saying "They just called me Sir. What part of me gives man? I've never been called a man." So yeah I'm mad confused as to why my petite, adorable self in pink & lilac got called a man by someone who would not appreciate being misgendered themselves.... On Pride weekend of all times. And why wasn't I offered to have the supplies ordered for me like in Tacoma? Basically I received a wild goose chase, a bad attitude, lied to about what I overheard confirmed on the phone, and casually misgendered by Seattle staff. Very sad since I prefer supporting local. The Tacoma shop is a vibe with kind, helpful staff. I'll stick with them and Jerry's Art a Rama online. Apparently several reviews report bad behavior from staff over the past year or so. Don't need the funky ahh attitude when I just wanna create.

We're a huge fan of puzzles and were so amazed by their selection! I love The New York Puzzle Company and they were STOCKED. They have so many great ones and they all range in number of pieces.

The turkey sandwich had a lot of turkey with chips. Wish I had taken pics but I guess there is always next time :) Oh and ps: they have game tournaments too!

I expressed interest in their lapidary and jewelry making classes, which are held in the upstairs area of their studio. I was very pleased to find that this was a proper rock shop (none of that new age-y stuff) with truly passionate and knowledgeable owners who can tell you the origin and geological info of everything in their collection. It was clear to me that the owners care deeply about the local community they've cultivated in their studio, which is a real contribution. Everything was well organized and reasonably priced. I made off with some exceptionally beautiful cabochons for my jewelry making collection - any hobbyist or professional jeweler would be thrilled at the collection of faceted gemstones and polished cabochons, all organized in drawers by type and color. I had a fabulous time and can't recommend this place enough. I will definitely be signing up for one of their classes next!

She just pointed and said, "I think." It wasn't that busy; however, all the salesclerks didn't bother to ask if I needed help as it was obvious I didn't know where to find things and they were too busy on their phones. POOR customer service. Frustrated, I was walking all over the store trying to find what I was looking for. Luckly, this one very nice salesclerk noticed I was overwhelmed and asked to help me. She wasn't sure they had what I was looking for but she went out of her way to try to find it. Mmmm, the first salesclerk didn't even attempt to try to find it. Will try to find another Michaels!

We have disputed buying telescope systems over the years, as everyone knows there's this to buy and learn, then that to buy and learn, plug that into this; you get the idea. When we heard about the seeStar system, we thought it'd be perfect for our vision into the night sky. We aren't the only ones thinking that too, as we have read enough reviews and seen enough photos to crack any walnut's shell easily! BUT the reviews and pictures weren't enough to turn the tide till just days ago, when we saw by chance images captured with a seeStar BUT unlike any seeStar images we've already seen! Now we were sold on the concept with the only question where to buy it. To be honest we used amazon and found one quickly, purchased it, then watched as it sat and sat and sat for over many hours AFTER the shipping label was created. Sure a shipping label was made, but I didn't buy a shipping label; I purchased and wanted a seeStar! Though it finally did ship over 13hrs AFTER the shipping label was created, it was my waiting endlessly for the actual shipment to start that I decided to already get another one for the wife after all two minds and two sets of hands can't use a single seeStar at the same time! Aside from a slight billing problem that was quickly resolved, Cloud Break Optics created their shipping label and the transport service they use had the package to deliver, ALL within three hours! Compare that with the amazon vendor who took over a whole half DAY after the label was created, before the transport company actually HAD the package! Plus the pricing was LOWER than the amazon purchase by over $60, even considering that shipping through Cloud Break Optics was additional! I haven't even received the seeStar from Cloud Break Optics yet but I already looove how Cloud Break Optics functions quickly and treats its customers! I'll update this once I get my package[s], and both deliveries will be delivered by the same delivery truck and driver!! Really! UPDATE 19Feb2024: It arrived on time and via the same delivery van! Practiced with it indoors due to extreme freezing air temps the first day, then the second day and today, went out in less freezing temps (only 31°f with 21° windchill with wind) and got pixs of the Moon, and today used the solar filter for the first time and snapped the sun and the Moon again today! Thanks much for such a smart-than-me telescope that is compact, light,"easy" to use, and gets the job done!!
