Community Services/Non-Profits in Renton, WA

“We always have a great time when we stop by! I've brought my own kids, met up with various groups of friends here, and it's a blast, rain or shine. We've only gone on weekdays, but have never found it crowded at all. I definitely recommend purchasing the mini-buckets of produce: my kids' favorite part of our visits is feeding the animals. In the past, you could bring produce, but for the safety of the animals, guests can no longer do so.”

“Small theater/venue. Went to see a play and it was cute. The seats were actually comfortable with decent leg room. The inside could definitely use some deep cleaning... When you have a four foot dust line showing when the lighting is on, it's hard to miss. Besides what looked like newerish ptz led addressable lights. The stage lighting seemed pretty old and dark in many areas. The sound engineer did a decent job with the many channels they had to deal with. The sound set up worked for what they needed. Overall not a bad little venue to hold events. Parking spots are a tad small for larger vehicles. I believe the city of Renton runs it with another group... So for something ran by the city of Renton.... It's looking good!”

“I love this organization I had the best experience with the manager Robbie she made me feel the best with the circumstances that I was in and made me feel like a mom again I only had problems with Lee it seemed like he just never wanted to help but luckily Robbie saved the day and made me feel like a new mom and I'm so thankful for her”

“What VFW as an awesome he’s the heroes of the real world, and we should just love them and appreciate him attention from everything and I went there for resource. Sure it wasn’t bad.”

“Highly recommend this organization. My family applied for homeownership and we are in the beginning of the process of finding out if we move to selection pool or not. They have been so responsive, patient with my questions, and really helpful! They really do want you to succeed, and truly want to help people. Even if we don't get selected, I would still recommend this to others to try!”

“We live in Olympia, so it's a task to come to this Goodwill, but go to it we do at least three times a year because it's in a good neighborhood and you never know what's in store. If you like physical media, this is the place to check out their vast collection. We actually found a VHS copy of Anne of Avonlea, which you can't even stream unless you have a subscription to a certain app. Sis loves finding tchotchkes, clothes, and furniture. It's always worth looking to find sports equipment if you want to try out a sport but don't know if you're going to love it. Want to own your own bat for the batting cages? Get one here for five bucks. Want to get the 10 cent discount/20 star bonus at Starbucks but don't want to pay for a $30 vacuum flask? Buy a used mug here and keep it in your trunk. Yes, I know we're supposed to hate on Goodwill because they're less a charity and more a for-profit these days, but you can feel good about giving a second life to things that would have ended up in a landfill because someone didn't value their perfectly good stuff anymore. One man's garbage is another man's treasure so if you want to do the world a solid, this is a pretty good place to do it, plus you can save a buck or two.”

“I would say be prepared for a long hold time for scheduling just in case you are in a rush. I will say the professionalism,follow through, and ease of the testing and resulting process more than made up for the hold time. The doctors and nurses took there time to explain the whole process as well as results and next steps.”
