“The Whidbey Institute is a very special place to visit.The land is deep and beautiful, and the buildings are nestled gently into the calming and majestic presence of the trees as if they themselves grew from the island hills.The staff are welcoming and soothing and the food is incredible.While the program that drew me there wasn't important part of my experience, the place itself is already drawing me back just moments after leaving.I highly recommend taking some time to visit this place and to find your way of connecting with a quietness and openness it has to offer.”

2913 W Marine View Dr, Everett“My son Ashton has been attending All Aboard for a year now. He loves it there. He has made numerous friends, and he feels like he is a part of something he cares about, and having something for him to be a part of has changed his whole outlook on life. He is definitely a happier adult with disabilities.
They have BINGO, karaoke, art, and crafts and social interactions that become very important as well as once a monthly dances held at Forrest Park.
I feel he is 100% safe as they have plenty of great supervision.
I enjoy volunteering here as well. It's truly a gift to myself every time I am surrounded by these wonderful souls.
Every one of them are precious!”
“My kiddos enjoyed picking out their clothes and the ladies there helped out since one of my two kids is autistic, they made him feel like he wasn't any different. Glad this organization is around for families like mine. Im struggling to make ends meet with raising kids by myself on disability. Love you guys!”

600 128th St SE, Everett“This nature walk is delightful.There are some shaded portions of their boardwalk that have gotten a bit funky with algae or something that can make it a bit slippery, and I suggest only going on dry days if you have any mobility impairments.Their artificial stream/fish viewing area is unfortunately skippable. Every time I’ve looked it’s been so dirty/murky there was nothing to see. I feel that it could be better maintained.Their hours are also a bit limited and I really wish they were open on Sundays as that is usually the day my family likes to go on nature walks.But I love the walk and I love supporting the foundation through membership and their cute little shop.”
“Nice small mosque with good parking space. They have 2 Friday prayers. 1st one at 1:30 and second one is at 2:05. There is space for sisters as well (only in the second Juma).”

16929 Hwy 99 #100, Lynnwood“Love shopping here! It helps so many people while at the same time charging good prices for new and used stuff! I always want more from there than what will fit in my house!?”
“They absolutely are amazing... they saved my sweet little snowflake. She had a large tumor growing on her side and all of a sudden it opened up and i thought she was going to die. I live in Shelton WA and there are no small animal vets. I turned to them and they got her seen by thr vet and the tumor removed. Now my sweet little girl can go on about her life with no more pain or suffering. Thank you guys so much!!!!!”
“I am a cashier volunteer for Assistance League and I am really sorry for any of the folks who felt they weren't valued. I myself do give equal value to each customer who shops at our store. We are all in this together and I believe in the golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you! We volunteer at Assistance League because we care. Please don't sling arrows when expressing your opinions. We are from all walks of life and different economic conditions. Some of our volunteers benefited from our School Children's Programs and that's why they came back as adults to be on the other side of the giving. Hope this helps let you all know you ARE valued and we will try harder to take your words to heart.”
“This outlet does NOT disappoint! It’s one of the most organized Goodwill Outlets I’ve been to and the staff is friendly. I have found some really great stuff here over the years. Kids toys, bike, scooter, clothes and a bunch of shoes for such good prices and good condition saving us hundreds and hundreds of dollars. The past few times I’ve went the parking wasn’t an issue, there was actually plenty of parking. Just expect to leave with more than you hoped to buy.”

“I have been shopping at Everett Goodwill for years, and I enjoy searching for items needed and fun treasures.Unfortunately, as we all have experience and expressed prices have gone up. But then we take a look at the difficulty in donations and theft.May our community support Goodwill job training.”
“What a wonderful experience for clueless cityfolk like me! So much to learn, so much I didn't even suspect about what farm animals were like, not to mention the rescue stories and many other detailsThank you so much!”
