Seriously!!! Wow!!! Such an amazing national park. This was our first trip to Washington state and we loved it! My wife and I hiked the silver falls trail. Unfortunately the park was closed for the winter, but we were still able to hike into the park. We will definitely be returning in the summer to enjoy the entire national park

Mt Rainier is absolutely gorgeous! It is a must visit on my list! The hiking trails by the visitor center are stunning. The drive up is also beautiful with waterfalls along it. It felt so magical being up in the clouds! I went in July and there was still snow on the trails but it made the hike more fun!

Wow this park was incredible. Views are amazing-even from the road! There were so many different hikes (our favorite was skyline trail at paradise) and you could even find hikes that were family friendly. Make sure to add this park to your bucket list. Be aware, there’s no gas stations in the park but they do have some just outside so plan accordingly.

Unbelievably beautiful! The views were amazing from all the hiking spots around Sunshine. Sourdough ridge and a few other shorter trails had great vistas, although there was too much smoke to see the peak of Mt. Rainier the day I was there.
I was thankful I had some extra layers with me, as it was very cold. It peaked at about 40F in the afternoon, despite being August. So for newbies, bring a hat and an extra jacket!
The rangers there in the morning gave fantastic tips for all the trails (and some spots to sit and sketch while avoiding damaging the delicate wildlife), and the gift shop was warm and lovely after my brisk hikes.

One of my favorite national parks. Got to visit in the fall. Our hike up was consumed by foggy mist, on the way down it cleared up though so we got to take in some of the views. A must go place!

Easily one of the most breathtaking U.S. national parks! Mount Rainier is a sight to see at least once in your life. This park is split into different sections due to the size and layout. We spent one day in Paradise and one day in Sunrise, with some stops in between. On a sunny day, you can see Mount Rainier from most places throughout the park. A cloudy day could definitely be a bummer. Unfortunately, our day in Sunrise was all cloud. There are a ton of amazing trails of various difficulties. Just do some research and pick your favorites! Be sure to get out there early so you’re not fighting for a parking spot. And try to go in the shoulder months, if possible. We opted for mid-September. Also, be mindful of the wildlife – the chipmunks will do anything for some of your food. One last thing… the elevation is a little high at points (I started feeling the effects while hiking the Skyline Trail) so just be sure to stay hydrated and take your time. I can’t wait to go back!

This is a gorgeous breathtaking national park that I had the opportunity to travel to back in 2019 and would love to go back. Every view seem to be more gorgeous than the first. I loved taking pictures here but they didn't do justice to the immense beauty. It's God country and would highly recommend going here if you hare ever in the area or just make a trip here to see it and hike the area.

20 stars!
Been here many times and it never gets old. Always something new. This time we went in June and there was still snow and ice out in places. Some roads were still closed at the top.
We wanted to see as much as possible and the waterfalls were on my list.
Wear good shoes/boots, take a camera and a jacket. Then just dive in and discover nature at its most beautiful. Literally every turn had something to offer.
I'll let the photos convince you :-)
Ps- pets NOT allowed. Wheelchair accessible mostly but not to good viewpoints.
Price is $30 per car or free if you have the Washington National Park Pass.

Visited the South side of the National Park in a couple of hours, didn't have enough time to hike much, but saw a couple different waterfalls, used some restroom, and made it to the top of the MT.Rainer base at the Paradise Inn Lodge with a dinner hall, rock fireplaces, Grand Hall, little cafe, gift shop, and 123 rooms costing either $180 or $260 per night with incredible breathtaking views. Great place to getaway, get some fresh air, and go on an adventure with breathtaking views and hiking trails!

Beautiful park! Mount Rainier is a stunning volcano towering amongst the landscape. The winding road throughout the park is so fun to drive with lush greenery for that quintessential “Washington” vibe. The clouds cleared today to reveal a bright sunny sky with stunning views. This was my second time here and just as amazing as the first!
Alycia McDuff — Google review
It was so much better than I even expected. The easily accessible hikes are pretty easy and super beautiful. The drive up to paradise is stunning and I loved all the view points. The entrance fee was $30 for a normal sized car. The roads are of course full of curves so drive carefully.

I will be back when the snow melts. We went peak snow days when the snow was up all the way up to their second floor of the visitor center and all the roads after that were closed. But it was absolutely amazing. Coming from Georgia where it barely snows and even if it were to, they either don't stack or doesn't last longer than a day, it was so refreshing to see so much snow and the mountains themselves were beautiful.
There are native birds there too that will fly up really close to you. It was such a great experience.
Also, make sure you have snow chains ready because they will check at the gate during snow seasons.

Mount Rainier National Park is a place of breathtaking natural beauty and awe-inspiring magnificence. Located in the state of Washington, it is home to the iconic Mount Rainier, a towering stratovolcano that dominates the landscape and captivates visitors with its majestic presence.

One of the most scenic drives I’ve been on—I’ve been to most of the lower 48. This park is massive, not overly crowded and a nature photographers paradise. All times of day, all lighting, it just stands out like one giant masterpiece of snowy peaks and lush wooded passes. If you get the chance to go, do not hesitate.

STUNNING. This was one of my best days on my trip nor my life. I loved the climbing and site seeing in this park. this is one of the best parks in the US and my favorite by far, maybe almost as good as Yellowstone. The amazing views from this mountain are so amazing and the multiple areas to go off and explore for your self are just as good.
Kyle — Google review
Mount Rainier is spectacular, with all the gorgeous views for which you might hope. Paradise Visitor Center is very well done, with great information, a good film, and a handy base for the nearby day hike trails. The trails themselves are well kept and well marked. We encountered a ranger who was literally shoveling steps in the snow to make passing through easier.
Bret Fynewever — Google review
Easily one of my favorite national parks for the vertical hikes, wildflowers, and the meeting of rock and flowing water.
The paradise loop hike that goes through panoramic point is a top to hike two hike of all time for me (most pictures from there).

Breathtaking park. We went in the middle of October and the weather was perfect. Some of the roads were already closed, as well as some of the ranger stations. Overall a very good park.

Holy Moly that’s the most impressive mountain I have ever seen. Whether it’s from Seattle or the base in the park. The drive up to Paradise went through some impressive stands of forest on the way up to many scenic pullovers and waterfalls. I had limited time and chose to hike up the Skyline trail from the visitor Center. Three of my favourite things in the natural world, an impressive mountain, glaciers, and waterfalls. All in one breathtaking view. The trail up was paved but steep. Amazing views in all directions. A gem in the National Park system.

I absolutely love hiking at Mount Rainier National Park. I grew up in Washington, and seeing the mountain in the distance. It is such a majestic place. I moved to Arizona and miss seeing and exploring the mountain.
Chris Knight — Google review
Beautiful park that is a two hour drive ish from Seattle. Be sure to get there early because there will be huge line of people trying to get in. We got there around 9 and it took over an hour to get to the gate. There also might be people along the line trying to sell you some cherries. Place is beautiful but when going in the summer it will be crowded at all the easy to access place which might be a turn off for some. Lots of wildlife to see as you pass by which is really fun
Kelly Low — Google review
Breathtaking! Lots of trails with different difficulties. Very easy to drive around during spring and summer. I went for a picnic but you cannot sit at most sites and eat, so I found a remote spot and had a picnic in my trunk
Huma Farooq — Google review
The mountain was amazing. I went in early August, and it was great. It's a very popular national park, so expect a lot of people, but not very many parking spots. The visitor centers are quite crowded, and the food isn't that great, to be completely honest. The views were nice, and it wasn't that difficult of a hike to get up to the scenic areas. The animals are quite used to people and will approach you regardless of whether you have food or not. But remember to not feed them, because they will start depending on people for their food, rather than naturally scavenging it. If you see any small rock cairns near the river, knock them over, as they are unnatural to the environment. It's fine to build them, just make sure to knock it over after.

A very beautiful park! Very nice views and fun trails. A couple cool waterfalls you can check out if you follow the right trails. I recommend snow shoes and hiking poles when it has snowed.

We lucked out on our time at Waterbrook. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time on their patio. We felt like the waitstaff were excellent all around. My wife and I came mostly for the food, but our wine was great too. I had their Chardonnay (I can’t remember what my wife had, but she liked it enough to get a bottle to go!) with their cheese and bacon sandwiches. We got a side of onion rings, which was good too but a bit much. I guess we were hungry!

Wine was good, the charcuterie boards were wonderful. Our server outside was fantastic. However, the long hair gal on Saturday, May 21 working the tasting room approximately 12:20 pm greeting people at the door was atrocious. We were a bridal party- on a chauffeured wine tour- and she snapped at us because we stated a last name for the reservation- and when we stated we were with a tour company, her response was “well that’s what you should have said.” When our chauffeur came out to tell us it was time to Leave for the next stop- we went inside to pay our bill- as our server was very busy taking care of multiple parties- the same gal flipped us attitude- and said “You all need to show patience, your server is busy.” Not sure what this gal’s role actually is- but she needs to be upgraded to “unemployed.”

We made an impromptu stop here because it’s the only winery in Walla Walla that has a full-service kitchen. Boy, were we delighted! We should have made a reservation, but they were kind enough to make it work so we could grab lunch.
The food was incredible, the wine was perfect, but the best part about it was the service. B (Bethany), the tasting room assistant manager, treated us like royalty and took care of everything we could possibly need. She checked on us often enough, but not too often, accommodated our 3 year old and was super positive and thoughtful. The rest of the staff were very kind, as well.
Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience and we will absolutely be back to Waterbrook again and again. Can’t wait for the summer when their gorgeous patio (which overlooks an incredible sunset) is warm enough to utilize. We love Waterbrook!

Beautiful location, attentive staff, delicious food, and excellent wine! We began with a charcuterie board with excellent cheeses, fruit, bread, and meats. So beautifully presented. Caprese salad in a generous serving, Ziti Sugo alla Bolognese, followed by Klickers Marionberry Cheesecake, New York style. And red and white wines paired with each course. Absolutely delicious!

Took my parents here for breakfast and wine tour and it was amazing. The area is nice, the food was great, and the wine was amazing. My wife and I got the mimosa flight thinking we would get a few small mimosas, but ended up splitting a full bottle of champagne and had 3 different juices to choose from that were all great. Everyone really enjoyed their food as well!

I had a great experience here. The wine was great and I really appreciate the recommendations the staff was able to give. Sky was a great server and so was the woman who gave me a sample of her favorites of the purple sticky note. One of the wines of the flight was not my favorite so she brought me a different red instead. This place was gorgeous and had a nice path to walk, a bridge and fire pits. I will definitely be back! Thanks so much!

We went to Waterbrook on a group tour with 25 people. The Events Manager, Bryce, was great to work with and actually waited on our group onsite. We had a private area on the patio with a beautiful setup. Bryce was very knowledgeable with the wines and answered all our questions. They brought out charcuterie boards that were amazing! The lemon cheese was my favorite! The winery dog was super cute and we enjoyed watching him dive for frogs. Our entire group loved the experience and wine!

My husband + I came over memorial weekend w our two kids. Biggest bummer was that their fryer was broken and they didn’t seem to be staffed enough to be serving the patio and running the inside. But we had made a reservation online the night before and it automatically blocked out 2 hrs on my calendar and we were in fact there for two hours, so I can’t complain. If you’re looking to be in and out, this may not be the place for you. My husband and I got a flight and we all ordered food. Everything was good and the staff were very friendly, even w us having two younger kids. My 5yo was really into the pond and lawn games, which was mainly why we came. Really pretty place and it worked out well for us.

Darren was great host to us, kindness and information! Beautiful property if you only have half a day, come to this one with restaurant and tasting all in gorgeous room. Our teenage kids had a nice time too. We ordered Chef's Board $16 and a flight of wine to share . See the wine menu attached.
Very tasty award winning wines on a lovely property that has a playground for children! That's a winning combination!!
We enjoyed getting personalized service from friendly staff on a slow day that made it possible to also push our daughter on swing! The Cabernet Franc was a highlight for us! But everything was worth the drive out to school house,even the non award winners. The whole family loved spending time here, and we even saw a rainbow on the way back to the car!

Stopped in on way through for a tasting. Young lady was very knowledgeable and it was a great experience… Wine was great too… tasting was $20 but received that waived if you bought any wine… which we did…
Jana Alderman — Google review
Excellent wines and Ciera was an great host. The old school house building is cool. The only detractor was that the room we were in was very loud which made it hard to hear our host describing the wines. It was raining the day we went, but we would go back again on a nice day and use the outdoor seating area. We left with several bottles. L’Ecole had some of the best wines we’ve tasted in Walla Walla.

I visited once in 2010 and now again in 2022. They're consistently friendly and have an amazing space! If you can get a school house tour, you should! Back in 2010 I was a white wine drinker and loved their Sémillon. Now I'm a red wine drinker but I STILL love their Sémillon!
Their staff is also super knowledgeable. I included a picture of a rock from one of their growing regions and the info about how it's different.
Worth the visit, would go again :)

Fantastic wines! Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Nice setting in an old school house that they renovated. Definitely recommend visiting this winery.
Shirlene Betts — Google review
Enjoyed the venue. Outside, the replica schoolhouse bell is a pleasure to ring. Beware the lovely Loud ring. The schoolhouse was founded in 1915. Longtime W² family refurbished the school which closed in '74. A gorgeous staircase from a local Orphanage was rescued before its demolition and added to the schoolhouse. The wine is quite unique. The history is a wonderful part of the visit. Downstairs is an original water fountain and a mural created by former students. The main room has a piece of furniture from a local bank. Also a lead glass window behind the bar counter with the letter 'F' in the center. The book collection within the 'library' shelves is amazing. Don't let the new Highway 12 bypass let you miss this fab bit of history. A big thank you to the Baker Ferguson family for this save.

Fantastic winery in an old school house building. Beautiful ambiance inside and lots of seating outside. You can also take the wine and food and sit on picnic tables in the lawn.

Very cool winery with a unique history. The grounds set in an old elementary school.

We had fun here! Staff were all very helpful, courteous and friendly. The room was clean and decent but could use a little updating. Not complaining though because we did get a discount! After signing up for the club card we got our second night for $35 because it was a Tuesday night. Nice surprise there! Overall a very pleasant stay.
Robin Collins — Google review
The good: Nice room, nice casino, great sandwiches, good bartenders, good parking, easy to get to. The not so good: pool was cloudy and smells so we did not get in, check in was very slow. Not just slow but "what in the world are they doing up there?" , slow. We thought about staying a second night but would have had to change rooms so we decided to get a few hours closer to home instead.

Amazing place! We did a golf trip with 16 people and the accommodations and staff of the resort, bar, and course were amazing. The bar manager, Anna, booked us a private area of the bar for 2 nights. The server, Lisa, was incredible! Best server I have ever had! Lastly, the golf course was in amazing shape and everyone who worked at the course was amazing.
Nathan Schroeder — Google review
Very convenient from Boise! Cleaner rooms, and no smoke in the air. Dealer, restaurant staff, and cashiers were all very friendly- no matter what time of the day! Food at the sports bar is CHEAP and GOOD! the nachos are always my favorite. Happy hour is half off apps, so my boyfriend and I got a whole table of food and a couple drinks for $50! That's a crazy good deal, especially for a casino/hotel. The pho place is tasty, and relatively cheap as well!
They also have a pool and dry sauna to use, as well as a well maintained mini-gym! I haven't utilized the bowling alley or movie theater yet, but I'm very glad there's some things to do aside from gamble! I'm always very impressed, and the slots pay out pretty well, too! They've got a $5 minimum hand that pays 3/2 on blackjack most mid-days, too, which is awesome for a beginner who doesn't want to spend $15 or more a hand anywhere else.
For $60/night at the hotel, it's an amazing place to travel on a budget for a weekend getaway!

Hoping the new tower will be up soon. The first two nights in the tower were great but had to roll down to the old part on Sunday, New Year’s Eve. Getting the buffet back would also be great. Lost or shall I say contributed for the most part, suggest you check out high spade flush (newer card game) or double action combo of 3card poker and let it ride. Had to stand around to much waiting for positions to open at the card tables. If we are standing watching ya’ll are loosing out.

We stayed at this hotel three times now. They have a nice newer tower where the rooms are probably nicer, but we have to stay in the courtyard because of our dog. These rooms are definitely dated but it's nice that they allow dogs. It's very convenient to get outside lots of grassy areas. Hotel also has good restaurants, food court connected theater in bowling alley. Staff here is very friendly. I want to give a shout out to Britney at the front desk who was especially helpful when we needed to extend our stay because of our sick older dog, recuperating from oral surgery.

We love coming to Wildhorse! The Traditions restaurant is delicious as is their food court! We love that they are a smoke free facility so smoking is only allowed outside. They have a bowling alley, arcade, movie theater, children's entertainment center (which is a day care for kids 13 and under), pool, hot tub and of course the hotel and casino. We have stayed many times and utilized all of the facilities. They were all fantastic!!! The children's entertainment center is amazing!!!! They are all so very kind and engaging with the kids. They have. Play structure in there, video games crafts and other fun activities. You pay by the hour and can include meals and drinks for your kids. We love that it's super secure! You present your driver's license when checking them in and out and only you can get them out. I could literally go on and on about Wildhorse! Check it out, you will not be disappointed!

Previously had issues years ago when it was under different ownership. Issue was resolved asap and management apologized.
Power happy guard doesn't know how to tell the truth and avoid power struggles. I was crisis trained through Cornell Universities program. The same training cops are required to have. More credentials than private security.
Was treated like I was a liar and like I was crazy even though I've never had a ticket or offense in my life.
I was compliant, wasn't rude, and did exactly as I was told as the moron decided to tell me I was kicked out for 24 hours. Even though it was the first time I was told I wasn't allowed to do what I was doing. Proceeded to tell me it was my last warning even though it was my first. I came back and talked to other departments and they didn't understand why it was an issue to begin with and agreed that the situation didn't need to be handled the way it was.
After being told I couldn't do it anymore, I left and I was followed by a tribal police officer all the way back to town. More than 5 miles which is illegal. Management did not talk to me or tell me what was going on and neither did tribal police. The only person who talked to me was the power happy security guard who of course handled the situation alone.
I told him I was recording and the guard repeated "I know I am." He doesn't need to intentionally gas light and use manipulative statements to subtly irritate others. It's completely unprofessional.
I'll be carrying something from my own personal collection valued at $8k. If I'm forced to throw my own things back I'll pull out the receipts and file charges.
He's lucky I don't file charges to begin with since I have disorders and harassing a person with disorders is a crime. Psychologically manipulating people with disorders is known as abuse too. Treat me like I'm crazy again and I'll press charges against the exact person who did it as well as the company if it's not handled appropriately.

I love this casino! This is my local casino and yeah everyone loses every once in awhile. But I somehow always win jackpots here. I have won jackpots ranging from $500-$5000. This casino also has a kid friendly children's entertainment center and arcade that doesn't charge an arm and a leg! And the rooms are always clean! They also have awesome staff. I would recommend anyone to try this casino out, you won't be disappointed.

Service can do better. It seems like everyone working there is less motivated. Don't get me wrong, you have some workers that make the experience enjoyable, but overall, most seem unhappy to work there. I get it life must be unhappy at times, but the customer is paying for experience and for the service. Just because we are not paying 5 star resort prices does not mean we should take 1 star resort services. A paying customer is a paying customer. It doesn't matter if we tip big or tip small if you don't want us there, then we are glad to our money and spend it where we are appreciated. Everything was okay. I'm going to say it's a 5 star place, but the only thing I recommend is to make every customer's experience the best experience regardless of how much we pay and for goodness sakes please put a smile on your faces. It does not cost anything to treat people nicely, kind, and with respect.

Review is for the casino only. Did not stay in the hotel. Second time here, walking out a winner again so obviously I LOVE this place! I had $150 free play from my last visit and $10 for food. 😀 I only play slot machines but I come in ready to lose it all so if you're not ready to take a loss don't do it! I didn't lose last night tho, or the last visit 😬 Oh, and us truck drivers are HUGELY thankful for providing us with a safe place to park overnight. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!

Had a great time with my family. Great staff that were helpful and friendly. Pretty clean overall. My only complaint is the music videos of choice playing on the big screen for my 2 yr old, 4 yr old, 9, and 11 yr old to see and ask questions about why they were seeing such inappropriate things..... call me old fashioned but my kids arent allowed to see or are familiar with skin showing and mature dancing. 🤔 firework show was pretty cool! Would definitely go again better prepared. Just change the music video selection, pretty please!
Sincerely, a mom trying to raise her kids right.

My only complaint was they needed to clean their hallways. The hallways looked like they haven't been cleaned in a month. The rooms was very nice and cleaned. I just got a little nervous walking down the unkempt hallway but when I got to my room, it was a pleasant surprise. Very nice work to the cleaning people.

Wild experience and a fun New Year's Eve! We spent one night her and 2 additional nights elsewhere due to availability. The room was clean and I had no complaints. The only downside was that to get to the pool you had to walk through the lobby, next to the check in desk and past the gift shop for access. Great weekend overall!

Jen RN, travel nurse from Florida. We were just passing through and stayed for the night, but this definitely looks like a great place for a large group to get together and have a fantastic time.
The RV park is PAVED! Pull-through sites big enough to accommodate our 41 ft toy-hauler. 50 amps! Well maintained grounds. Quiet. Lovely views. I definitely recommend ❣️

Room was out dated and definitely needs new clocks and outlets were worn-out and plug kept falling out. But dinner was good at the sports bar. Didn't do any gambling but a good selection of games and table games too. Valet was good too, they let us park our bikes were they could see them and all was good. Would I stay there again? Definitely, just hopefully they will update the outlets and clock. The room did have a mini fridge and it was quite and worked great and clean.

Rv resort is ran down and could use some attention. Casino is a run of the mill casino. Staff are very friendly. Arcade is nice. Children’s play area is lacking. Food court has excellent food for the price. Ice cream is good as well. We did not partake in the movie theater or bowling so I cannot comment although both look nice.

We went bowling here, and we had a great time, even though we're not good at bowling. A friendly server brought over a pitcher of water and cups for our group. There are a lot of family-friendly options for entertainment, and there is even child care for ages 3 to 13. The sign says your child should be potty-trained because they can not change diapers. The employees in the child care area were very kind.

I loved the fact it has SEMI TRUCK PARKING!
Has shuttle from the parking lot to casino area for us drivers!
It has a clean food court to chill in!
Love the ice cream place & you got your moneys worth for the 3 scoop bowl! It was only $4 you can’t get that at the truck stop! Lol
Movie theater & bowling alley was clean also!
Reasonable prices for movie .. $10 for adult & $9 for small snacks including drink ..popcorn.. & theater sized candy!

2/26/24 stayed one night for my birthday. The room was gross. Carpets badly stained, holes in the curtains. Furniture is very old and has finish worn off and stained, bead spread was dingy tattered and losing threads. Toilet is from an elementary school about 12 inches tall.
It was a Monday night so the good restaurant was closed. No place to get anything but bar food. A diner with an extremely limited menu. When seated they put a sign in your face telling you there’s a 90 minute maximum at the table. Overall a very unsatisfactory experience and won’t be returning. Even though I won money. It’s the furthest one can get from a resort experience….

Always a favorite travelling through!! Rocking Superbowl location!! What an Awesome day!! Never missed a play!! Just about anything you want to snack. Won a couple bucks!

Gross treatment from the dark-haired lady at the lobby bar. She tried banning me because she thought my ID was invalid & was super rude about it (I had 4 other employees check it throughout my stay and no one had a problem with it, I even joined their club with it) So they need to get their employees on the same page and teach her specifically customer service skills

RV overnight dry camping stay. Great location and lots of amenities at this casino, including a movie theater and bowling alley, ice cream shops, a food court and restaurants...and the casino! The best part is that they do not require RVers to join the players club or register to overnight in the dry camping area of their parking lot. We had a great dining experience at the Traditions Restaurant, too. We walked the family friendly carpeted path at the outer fringes of the casino and hotel to get a bit of exercise after our dinner. We'll be back!

We were detoured here after the I-84 was closed. Wonderful, free RV parking. We went to the sports bar to try and find the Vancouver Canucks game. Everyone tried really hard to find it but unfortunately it wasn't available. Staff here are so amazing
Our server was Samantha, such a sweetheart! It was so busy but she smiled all night. A great place to stop!
Known for wool apparel & blankets, this chain also sells non-wool clothing, decor items & linens.
Such a cute city with lots of shops and an interesting history. The underground tours are very informative. The Tamastslikt cultural institute, just outside of the main streets of Pendleton, gives you a different perspective on the indigenous Americans and how these last 200 years have affected them. I would also absolutely recommend stopping by the Pendleton woolen Mills for wonderfully crafted wool sweaters/ blankets.

Absolute must-stop. We were there on a rainy day and did the tour of the mill. It's not easy for a non-native English speaker to follow everything, also due to the noise from the machines, but despite that it was interesting and great to see the process. Large store attached to it with friendly staff and good deals.

Pointing out sales and explaining pricing. Extremely high prices, I could not find a single product made in USA. Everything in the store is made in China. You are paying for the Pendleton tag but not getting Pendleton products. Very disappointed. I will now cherish my old school Pendleton gear even more.
Update. Do not be confused by the response from Pendleton. Two of us spent 45 minutes looking for a tag made in the USA, never found a single one. Just like China, don't trust Pendleton and their deceptive ways.

We love stopping in here. Before reading on, I have to say I graded them down two full stars because their employees are so unfriendly. Not rude, just super cold and unfriendly.
The store is always clean and well stocked. The quality of their mechandise is top shelf. We have three of their blankets, numerous shirts, suitcases, bags...... their goods will last a lifetime. Taking the mill tour, which I have done 6 times over the past 30-years, is a blast.
It's worth a trip here, we just wish they could find a friendly face to hire.

We visited Pendleton Woolen Mills and it was a great hit with the family. They sell blemished blankets at a discount which is a fine way to acquire a Pendleton wool blanket without breaking the bank. I bought a coffee mug and hat. My wife purchased the blanket and she was so pleased. I observed many people leaving who were super happy - one lady was even happy crying.

We stopped o. Our way home from our PNW road trip, purely because we knew my mother-in-law would get a kick out of it. She loves Pendleton! We walked through the store. Found a few fun things for my mom-in-law. The bathrooms were clean. The store was well organized and clean. There were no tour's happeing that day but we could see into the mill through glass doors. Was fun to see the wool and threads stacked up and a blanket being wooven. (I thinks thats what it was anyways.) The staff were friendly and helpful!
Pendleton Underground Tours offers a walking tour that delves into the city's intriguing history, including its shady past involving gamblers, opium dens, and Chinese laborers. The tour explores underground tunnels where Chinese laborers lived while working on regional railroad operations and where illicit businesses like brothels and speakeasies operated with hidden escape tunnels. This unique experience provides insight into Pendleton's captivating past and is a must-do activity in town for those interested in local history.
I've heard people talk about this underground tour and wanted to check it out.
This tour did not disappoint! The history is AMAZING and simply fascinating!
Becky (I think was her name) was our tour guide. She was fabulous! She has a stellar personality and made the tour fun and informative.
There is one downfall-- I wanted more! I didn't want it to end. I wanted to go as far as the underground would take us!
We will definitely do this again! They told us about an adult tour that sounds awesome!

This has been on my bucket list for years and I finally got to cross it off.
The tour guide, Matt Ramirez, was so knowledgeable and entertaining; that place is historical beyond belief.
The historical value of this endeavor is priceless and I commend the Non Profit for this undertaking in doing their part to preserve the history of this area.
The tour itself was fascinating seeing how people were forced to live and how they, as a people, overcame their obstacles.
I'm not proud of the facts this history represents, but it is vital we keep things like this alive, so future generations can learn from it.
It truly is remarkable and a MUST SEE whether you are local and have never been, or just passing through.
There is also a quaint gift shop and the young lady working there was delightful and I found several must haves to take home with me.
It was all well worth the afternoon we spent there!
Just a few of the several dozen pics I took, simply fascinating!

This was a neat thing to do while passing through. The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. It was interesting going through the rooms and learning about a shady part of history. So why 4 stars? First, our guide was great, he explained things as we walked through each room. The price was a little high but in todays day and age it was worth it, especially seeing our guide pointed out other local free attractions and let us know if we showed our tickets where we could get discounts. The 3 issues to bring it down a star, first, way to many people on the tour, you are in tight little rooms down underground with no air flow, put that with a big (about 14 people) group it gets hard to breath, plus mid tour 2 people left early because they felt ill, again they where crammed in tiny rooms with us for the last 45 minutes, the second issue is the bathroom situation, they encourage you to drink water as some rooms can be very warm, but for the 1 1/2 hour tour there is no bathrooms, and the third, doing the tour is not easy, your going down stairs, then up stairs, then back down and up and down and up, and the flooring in almost every room is uneven and you have to watch your footing, if you have any difficulties with stairs, or walking in general pass up on this tour. It was interesting and overall a good time and the guide was great, I would recommend doing it if you can get in with a smaller crowd.
Waterfront area featuring tree-lined walking paths, tennis courts & a playground.

Nice park. Pretty clean and well taken care of. Plenty of big trees, a splash pad for children, a playground, water access for swimming, kayaking and even boating, jet-skiing, etc. Access to various cruise ships and other water vessels and the like from several docks. Nice walking/bike paths. Benches and bench-swings, plus a concession stand and Hawaiian Ice. A few suspicious, possibly homeless, possibly substance abuse type people but they didn’t bother us. Overall we had a pleasant time this day and when we visited before. Would go back again.

A great park any time of year. And it’s only 3-4 min drive from the hospital, so it’s great if you have a wait. There is also a gallery/gift shop right next to it.
It has tennis courts, awesome playgrounds (one for 5-12 year olds, one for 2-5 year olds), all of the park benches are swinging benches, a boulder/rock climbing area), a music area with mallet percussion, a water front walking path, and a amphitheater. Beautiful views throughout. You can easily spend 30 minutes or many many hours there. Lots of tress for shade. It even had an AED on site for emergencies! I think there is also a concession stand, perhaps open during summer months. It’s also next door to the community center.
Park seems clean and well maintained.

I go to Howard Amon park often. There's an awesome path to walk/bike/skate on, lots of area for picnics and activities, and my favorite pastime is sitting along the river and soaking up those healing river vibes. All in all, I really love this park and recommend everyone to come out here and play!

This was one of the park we went to on our first visit to Tricities and instantly fell in love with the area because of it.
The park has a really neat playground for the children and cool swing benches you can sit on while enjoying the beautiful view of the Columbia river. We took our kids here one evening last summer and there were lots of kids at the playground laughing, screaming and running around. Now that may turn some people off, but I absolutely loved it. We live in a small town with a very tiny playground and barely see any kids play in it, so to see that many children playing in this park gave me so much joy. Even after dark there were still tons of people hanging around at the park and children playing at the playground. I didnt want to leave but the mosquitoes chased us away. 😅🤣
Pictures attached were from our last visit to Tricities before we move out of state this coming summer.

As visitors to this city, this park was recommended by family who live here. Loved the abundant benches and picnic tables, as well as the music corner. Every park should have swinging benches like this.
Fantastic tasting room on their estate that looks out over the valley. Patio with incredible views. Delicious wines. Incredible case specials - check back each month for a Virtual Case Sale (mixed) that is often more than 50% off. They have food to order on-site for weekends. My favorite place so far E of the Cascades!

And our guide was super generous with what she let us try, well beyond the regular list. It was a great experience!

We try to support local, but when the local business doesn't want your business it's time to speak up. My husband and I came out to the winery just to share a bottle of wine and enjoy the beautiful grounds at Terra Blanca. We told the hostess we were just going to get a bottle and wanted to sit outside to enjoy the day. The young man at the tasting counter was very professional and helpful and once we had our bottle we headed outside. We found a table out in the sun and began to relax. Not even a couple minutes had passed and a different employee came and asked us if we had seen the hostess, we said we had checked in. She proclaimed certain tables were reserved for the grill restaurant and that we had to move because this table was apparently hers and we had not asked to sit in the grill seating. We told her we wanted a table in the sun so she promptly moved us to the interior courtyard with a minimal view of the grounds. We were the only ones seated in this area. It's like we were not good enough for them; like we didn't belong. We were treated rudely. Never offered water or even if we wanted to stay seated in the grill and provided menus. My husband was not happy at all with the service and went back inside to speak up. The hostess told him that there was a corvette club coming that afternoon and they had tables already reserved. My husband quickly responded, "so my money isn't good enough for you, I have to drive a corvette to get seated at a better table?" So we sat isolated in the courtyard, still with no water. The hostess walked by the opening with another employee a few minutes later, who both looked at us and smirked. Then passed back by on the way into the building. Again, never apologizing, offering us water or if we needed anything else. My husband called out to the other gal with the hostess and asked for the managers name. Darrell; if that's your name, you will be getting a call from me.
We've visited Terra Blanca many times for the wine and the views, even purchased a case of wine once. But this experience has left such an awful taste with us. We will never be back. And we will make sure to let our friends and family know of the poor treatment and lack of service. Clearly you don't care about taking care of the little guys, only the ones who have big pocketbooks.

We thoroughly enjoyed wine tasting and lunch on a Friday afternoon. The grounds, buildings and views are beautiful. The wines were good if not remarkable (the Chenin Blanc dessert wine was very good). The quality of the food (shrimp ravioli, pizza) was good. The service was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Terra Blanca for wine tasting and lunch.

Beautiful property with great views from the outside terrace, and nice big event spaces inside. We've been here a few times for wine tasting, and although some are good I've never really found any I have to have in my cellar. Tonight we visited for dinner, a special monthly reservation-only event, $45/person 3 course meal of salad, entree, and dessert. I normally drink Malbec, and theirs was the worst I have ever tasted. My wife ordered a glass of Cab Franc which was good. We opted to add the optional scallops appetizer - I didn't care for the texture of the scallops and guacamole wasn't a great pairing. The salad seemed like it was from a bag - dried out greens, but at least the dressing was good. Steak was stuffed with mushrooms that had the texture of canned, and served with vegetables that tasted like they were from frozen. The chocolate dessert cake was dry and firm, like it had been made a few days prior and frozen until serving. The meal just simply didn't live up to the 'gourmet' expectation or price.
I hope someday their business does well enough to pave the horrible pothole-filled driveway between the road and their parking lot.

The wine is phenomenal and the venue is absolutely incredible. Truly wonderful place to visit in the Red mountain area. $10 for the tasting is also a great value for the variety and number of pours one will get. Their prices are alright...but I have found that a lot of these wineries sell at cheaper prices at places like Bevmo, TotalWine, etc if you can find them. A bit ridiculous that a middleman yields a cheaper price.
Beautiful winery and well organized. Very friendly workers. Picked up a load of empty barrels. Guys who loaded my truck are rocks. They put 154 barrels in my container in less than one hour.

I'm going to be honest, I was a bit leery because it was such a big corporation winery. But it was actually a great experience. First of all $5 for 4, 5 tastes? Awesome.

Third, the attendant at the bar was incredibly nice, easy to talk to, and poured us drinks we were curious about, even if they were off the list. Good times and nice vineyard to walk around.

We had the best time at Columbia Crest Winery today in the tasting room with Vicky,. She made our day by being so welcoming, joking around with us and being so informative! She even got us some cheese and crackers to go with the tasting! We shared how much we were looking forward to our visit, but had been worried of our delay during the drive to the winery from the Columbia Gorge waterfalls, as it was much farther than we were thinking and it took so long to get there that we didn’t arrive until 4:30, just having discovered that they closed at 5 pm while we were on the way! Upon arrival we thought we would be rushed through the tasting experience at this, our favorite overall winery, after coming from Philadelphia to visit while in Washington. But nothing could have been further from that as she showed us numerous wines and even gave us an individual tour of the vine cellar and a tasting from a barrel during fermentation! She shared her Columbia Crest story with us and even took a picture with us! In the end we were there for over an hour and we would have never known that she and a few of her colleagues were staying to make our experience so special! What a wonderful representation of Columbia Crest she was! Congratulation to Columbia Crest for having a great staff member to represent your business!! Highly recommend others touring this beautiful winery!
Fantastic wine, friendly staff, and yummy cheese plate. A shining gem in Washington Wine Country!

14 Hands has consistently delivered high quality, excellent value WA red wine blends for many years. The 2019 Juicy Red is another great example. Syrah based, it serves up complex, well balanced blueberry, dark cherry, black current, mocha and spices. We enjoyed ours during a delicious roast beef dinner. Still youthful for about an hour, it smoothed out nicely for sipping after dinner.

We continue to enjoy going to 14 Hands each time we visit our family in the Tri-Cities so that we may select a few more bottles to bring back home to Napa where we live— we especially love their Cabernet Sauvignon! What we like is that 14 Hands offers a good selection of reasonably priced wines. We also really enjoy the wine tasting experience because 14 Hands has a very nice tasting room, a pleasant and knowledgeable staff, and a large and welcoming patio area— we recommend ordering the cheese plate, which we have found to nicely complement our wine tastings!

First time at a tasting room in Eastern Washington. This place was not crowded for a Sunday, but we were not their during the busy season. Learned about their process and how they get their wine. Had some nice reserves while there.

A beautiful winery serving one of our favourite Chardonnay’s!! Just a quick first stop on a whirlwind three week road trip, we couldn’t ask for more! Grabbed a few bottles to go for our evening “night cap” in the next town/state!! Thank you 14 Hands for making such tasty product!!

Went here for a wine tasting and they were so awesome and so nice that we ended up joining their wine club which has no membership fee. As a result our complete wine tasting was free and the bottle the prices of the bottles of wine were greatly reduced. It's a very nice wine tasting room with a big large outdoor area that wraps all the way around. Besides the tasting room in large outdoor patio area, they have some interesting vintage barnwood displays, an art gallery, and a little store. Employee Cassandra took great care of us and told us so much history of the winery and their different grapes and vintages. We had such a fun time, highly recommend.

We stopped by this lovely tasting room while on a road trip in July 2022, as a respite from driving in the 100°+ heat.
It was a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere of the tasting room is very nice, our tasting guide was wonderful and we enjoyed some unique reserve wines that the winery does not distribute very widely in liquor stores. So, of course, we ended up buying a few bottles. Highly recommended!

Our highlight of our winery visits in Prosser was the warm welcome we got from Casandra and Veronica at the Best Western Express and 14 Hands winery. They represent the best of the company!
This place was great! The lady was so nice and inviting! We went on a Sunday and it was absolutely freezing out so we were surprised to see that it was open. We had the whole place to ourselves. I'd love to come back and hike the trails but it was near 0 and snow covered so we settled on watching their informative film and reading the placards on the walls. The person below, John Walker, is an idiot. It's a state park, they all charge 10 dollars or just buy the discover pass for 30 a year.

The visitor center is an absolute must see if you are in the area. It has an unbelievable panoramic view of the Columbia River. We really enjoyed the displays explaining the geology of the region. The actual park leaves a lot to be desired. You are encouraged to walk around a sun blasted hell-scape looking at very few petrified stumps in the ground.

Great views of Columbia River and the surrounding scenery. They have preserved some petrified tree barks which is unique. Lots of info boards and telescope available to view farther areas. We also saw plenty of longhorn sheep grazing nearby. Limited parking but not crowded. Restrooms available.

A nice pleasant place to take a break from long drives. A nice restroom is available near the picnic area. Dogs can hang out in the picnic area. No real place for kids to play, but there are interesting places to go look at. Inside the visitors center there is staff to answer questions, a small gift store and various explanatory displays. A short path to the right of the building takes you to a display of some of the collected pictographs, some of which are quite interesting. The paths to the left of the building take one to the overlooks down the canyons towards the Columbia, quite scenic.

Stopped in on New Year’s Day, parking lot and bathrooms were open but museum was closed. Great views of the wintery desert and good information on interpretive panels along the ridge. Could plow/ shovel a little more to increase accessibility and safety but we have AWD and were careful on foot. Leashed dogs are allowed. New Year’s Day is an annual free day, otherwise you need your discover pass or to pay the $10 fee.

Very calm and peaceful place to hang out, very close to I-90. Beautiful sweeping views of Columbia River. The park is very small but has nice pullouts on the side to take in the views. There is a boat launch area just off of an exit that has a picnic area, toilet, and trail.

This location is very close to the freeway and open until dusk. It costs $10 to visit and there is a kiosk so you don't have to have cash.
I found the petrified wood to be remarkably colorful and to have a great deal of texture. It's beautiful to look at the pieces that are scattered all over the area.
I was unable to visit the inside of the state park because of the hour I arrived. It looks like a very good area to learn more about how the petrified wood came to be in this area. It looked interesting enough through the glass that we will try and come back.
In addition to the quite spectacular quantity of petrified wood, the view looking over the Columbia River is equally as amazing with a brief description of the ice related floods that scoured the Columbia River gorge.
I don't know if it was just the time we were there, but it was very windy! Based on the vegetation, I suspect it as commonly windy.

The Gem shop has lots of cool stuff to see (and touch).

If you get a chance to take a hike, you can see some of the trees still in the ground. There’s even a couple Walnut trees that are HUGE.

I would’ve gave it a five except for the restroom. There was more orb spiders in there that I cared to count. If you have to go to the restroom I suggest you drive down to the recreation area. The view a spectacular day was gorgeous. Inside was very informative. I would recommend you stop by there just empty your bladder first.
My brother and I took the tour here. It was interesting and quite informative. It was quickly obvious that they were giving the tour in order to put wind farms in a positive light. The two young ladies that were working there did a very good job. One of the reasons that the tour was effective in promoting wind farms is because they clearly are a great way to make renewable energy. Seeing them up close only reinforced the positive. I highly recommend taking this tour.

This place was awesome, we happened to be in the area and decided to take the long was home from a concert at the gorge. This was for sure worth the drive, it does seem kind of like a road to no where but very pretty and scenic. We are middle aged and really enjoyed the information and history in the center they have! You get to get up close to the wind turbines and it really puts them into perspective of how big they really are. If your lucky you might even get to watch them climb them. Truly a phenomenal experience and I highly reccomend visiting at least once. The weather was awesome, there were plenty of parking spots, and it was not crowded. We went in the middle of june! It was perfect.

A very good place to see what is a wind farm like and they even have a blade lying on the ground that you can see at very a close distance. A good place to spend a weekend with a little bit of learning and a little bit of hiking. Despite of the strong wind, it may be hot in a sunny summer afternoon. Please add or remove some clothes before the guided tour begins.

Went on a field trip with students from my sons school. They gave us lots of information on the how it works, the what it's good for and who this electricity is helping. I know I learned a lot from going and it was definitely a fun trip.
Basic gaming floor with slots, poker & table games, also offering a buffet, deli & espresso bar.
A very enjoyable dry casino. Went here for my mother’s birthday, and the blackjack dealer was very friendly and helpful to her, which meant a lot. Same with the roulette dealer the day before. The games are pretty entertaining, with the large majority being slots, but there are some tables to choose from in the middle. The casino smells very clean, and if you are a smoker there is a designated smoking area outside on a balcony. Free sodas of course, and there are a couple food stands and a pretty good buffet to eat at.
Tyler Sampson — Google review
Well I have to agree that you don't have a good time and it's just a good idea to remember that people who are coming in to gamble or to play the slots are not really good for the money you spend.
I hope this helps you find your best plan to making sure that you're guests will not become discouraged by your way of doing business.
You should have a smoking section and a non-smoking
section designated for your guests.
And I believe if you had waitresses to bring water or coffee or sodas so it doesn't interfere with the guests from having to leave a good card table, or having to wait until they lose money on the slot machines.
I will drive to Oregon for a while (overnight). Just to be treated like a winner.
The cost for a room is nothing if your having a good time and you have accommodation.
Drinks, non-smoking and smoking.
And of course you can play cards or slot games without any hassle of getting up to leave for whatever reason.

I had not been in since before the remodel and addition of the hotel. Very nice job on that. It was really dark in there which made it a little creepy. The slot machines were very fun. Our favorite was this one with a little devil on it. My husband and I decided to do the seafood buffet. The prime rib was raw. However one employee noticed it and grilled some up but put it right on the contaminated cutting board right next to the raw prime rib. But the rest of the food we had was good. We probably won’t do the buffet again but will try something different there. Security was doing a great job. Couldn’t find where to go get a soda otherwise we may have stayed longer. Overall we had fun.

2nd time coming here, first time was great! This time was a little bit different. The room looks clean but it was very dusty all over. Even the sheets and pillows...never seen a bed with only 3 pillows. Glad it's only one night. So it's okay to stay overnight especially if you're going cherry picking and fruit shopping. It's close to everything.

It's much improved. Once so much smoke it was nearly intolerable, and I'm not a smokers snob, but it was bad. It was nice in that respect now, but the slots were super tight, and it is still a dry casino in case you'd like a beer or a beverage. The concert was entertaining, good seats and affordable so no complaints there (we went to see Collective Soul). Also and oddly, they do not "open" the casino until 8 a.m. Not knowing my wife and I went down about 7:15 to play some before we departed and we were intercepted by the security guard who was polite. We're thinking "you all don't want MORE of our money"? LOL We went back to our room and packed up and played on our way out around 830 and as luck would have it recovered about 70% of our slaying from the prior night. haha

No Alcohol, can’t get a drink here. Pool was by reservation only and booked for the weekend! No one in there for the 2 hours I was downstairs. had I know than I wouldn’t have stayed (ruined my kids trip) to top it off I get masks but don’t tell me to pull it up while I am drinking my overly priced coffee. Also would not give extra towels…. Checked out early and won’t be back.

First the rooms.....not bad but beds were a bit too hard for my back. Fridge worked well. Water pressure was good although showerhead was not removable. Now the casino.....when the ATM line is long and the ticket redemption line is non existent....you have a problem. This place is extra tight and if you are playing to win think again because it's not happening here.

Machines were tight. Dropped a lot of $$$ with no pushes, bonuses and no features. Was a disappointment for sure. Maybe my luck was off. Seemed like a nice place at the casino. The town near by was kinda sketchy but where isn't these days. I hope the next visit here will be a bit more rewarding.

The worse experience!!
- told my daughter we checked out 2 days ago
- she was under the influence of alcohol and needed a bathroom and used it where the housekeeper was cleaning up.
- supervisor refused to solve any issues and still claimed we checked out. Meanwhile my mother was standing in front of him and refused to hear her.
- supervisor Steve/Steven did not acknowledge what we had to say and he was always right.
-he barred my daughter and claimed she had a fake name - her father was in the hotel list with the same last name. He failed to check it out. He called the police and had her arrested - still claimed we checked out!!! Failed to check our names. Thank goodness my brother told me she was going to be arrested.
- he was rude mannered and felt as if we owed him an apology
- my daughter left her phone and wallet in her uncles car. She claimed she had to sleep outside.
She walked to the gas station hoping to run into a family member. Because Steve/Steven would not take the time to acknowledge she needed to get a hold of one of us at the hotel.
-she was upset - became argumentative and I do not blame her whatsoever.
-Our room was overlooked twice and I had to let front desk know and they claimed they will get someone in to clean it.
- on the second day of no one cleaned the room. I asked to moved into a clean room. I did let them know my husband could not walk far and the room was further down.
- the bell person stated they should have placed us closer. At least she understood.
- the General manager was not in on Monday morning to deal with this issues.
- Spoke with someone else. He listened but we will see how they handled this matter.
- Our family was here for a memorial for my brother and sister!!! This situation added more stress of the lack of cleansing or felt as we had to be watched at all times.
-some of the staff were not friendly - and messed up the names for the guest in the rooms.
- I am upset how my family has been treated with the worsted hotel experience. I would have expected this from non-Native people(First Nations). But when it is Native American run business I would have expected better.
This was one of the worst experiences my family went through. It did not matter how many times I called in to clean the room or order towels. We were ignored. It was bad enough to go to housekeeping to get clean towels. I even offered to vacuum the carpets.
As for the supervisor Steve/Steven. I heard there was many complaints against him. He was rude and ignorant employee that will cost the hotel business.
For a Native American hotel - I felt I was not treated equal and I am a Native American Indian.
Will this matter get solved?! The ball is in their court.
Q: if this was your experienced what I went through - would you be upset? This is for the General Manager and the owner of the hotel.
Signed by - unhappy customer/stressful
If I could give a “0” rating - that is my rating.

The casino is great, a couple drawbacks are, there are no lounges or any place to get an alcoholic beverage here. I’m pretty sure alcohol is prohibited on the property. :( The coffee shop is awesome though! Great service there and great drinks! The breakfast buffet was also really good. I wish there was more for kids to do instead of just swimming. If they had a movie theater, bowling, or an arcade, that would bring fun for the whole family!! The hotel rooms are really nice except for the bed and pillows. The bed was stiff and not comfortable for us at all. The pillows weren’t very good either, we all woke up really sore. After checking in, we went to our room and there was a “do not disturb” card on the door, and our key wouldn’t open it. They accidentally sent us to an occupied room. We went back downstairs and they quickly fixed it. Overall it was a good trip.

I advised management players being suspicious of team play and possible dealers in poker room aren't playing straight. They need a shuffle machine. Many hands and plays observed over the weekend raised RED FLAGS. Several traveling players are now suspicious of these activities and will put the word out. Beware of thieves at this location.
General attitude of employees working here seem very moody and rude.
General food and restaurant quality in comparison to most casinos of this size , rate it a 2.0
This casino needs to upgrade its food quality and train there people to be more friendly and customer service oriented.
Only 2 dealers at the tables (non poker ) were super friendly
And 1 security lady was very nice.
Everyone else needs to be brought up to new standards.
At this time I can't recommend this location. Save your money and play where you're business is appreciated and the management takes your concerns seriously.

Beautiful view, no microwave in room, and for the price you pay for the room there should be coffee cream and sugar so you don't have to leave room first thing in the morning to get it, we were given 2 coffee pods ,2 tiny power creamer and 2 tiny sugar, not even enough to make 1 cup of coffee and there were 4 people in the room! Couldn't warm baby bottle either due to no microwave. Also do not ingest the tap water, I had to run a sink full of hot water to warm baby bottle and the sink was full of black stuff that came out of the tap! GROSS!! I did like the location and view though!! Rooms were pretty clean.

I live in Las Vegas, so it's not fair to compare. But the casino floor was not very inviting, and it was hard to maneuver around the machines. My wife had fun on one of the machines, but she normally plays video poker, and there isn't any, on the floor. Even the best Casinos in Vegas have kept them around because so many guests love them.
But the restrooms were clean and the machines were clean, but we were early in the day. But no cleaning folks around wiping machines off. Vegas is never without a team cleaning machines off with disinfectant. But it's in a small reservation, so it's probably good enough for the locals there to get their gambling bug fixed.

I had a pretty good time... I enjoy playing the slots as long as I am winning or at the very least stretching out my funds to play longer... An awesome quality of the Legends Casino is a "non smoking" policy on the premise... Makes having fun add up to staying longer... There is a variety of cool and progressive slot machines... It's awesome to take a break once in awhile and let my hair down... Had a great time made a little cash and went home smiling and relaxed.

The room was very nice and clean. However the service was mid tier. The front desk lady was not very kind. When I first checked in she was asking me to pay which I was confused about because I thought I had paid online I was only asking clarifying questions- I wasn’t being rude. She was being very rude and unhelpful. I called the front desk to ask for extra blankets because me and the person I was staying with were freezing and I had already turned up the heat. I was told housekeeping had left and they weren’t able to help me. I really thought this was ridiculous. I know how hotels run and they could have walked their happy butt to a housekeeping closet and grabbed a few blankets for us! I spent a good 1,000$ here at this casino this trip. Disappointed as far as that goes. The seafood boil in the food court here is good though, so is the buffet. Other than being freezing at night and a rude receptionist my first night, my stay has been pleasant.

The show we attended was great and rooms were great. However HUGE disclaimer. This is not only the only non-alcoholic casino I've ever been to, they don't even want it on the property and will take it from you.
I get it, if you don't want to sell it, but to literally steal the fruits of one's labor and do it in the most authoritarian way is a huge red flag.

I like the layout and the atmosphere. I like the selection of games and number of machines. I don't like that half of the machines (the older push button kind, that I happen to prefer) don't work properly. The buttons don't respond when you push them and it's difficult to select a bet. And the other half of the machines (the new digital play panel) have such a high minimum bet that after factoring in the distance out of my way I have to travel to get there, it's almost not worth the time and frustration if I only plan on stopping for a few minutes and playing a little bit when passing through.

I love legends casino hotel not just to play the slot machines. and But I also love their food. and I usually order their bacon cheeseburger with tartar sauce. and It is really good. and I also get a coffee there. and That is also very tasty. and Also it is really good. and Most of the drinks are free like soda and coffee and water at the machines. and If you are new there you can get a legends casino card to earn points which turns into cash I often go here. and I'm always very satisfied with there service. and I also like the fact if you accidentally lose your legends casino card they will replace it for you.

On checking in we received a wonderful room very spacious and very clean. The staff was cordial. We had a good time and had a wonderful dinner at the seafood buffet. The staff was very attentive to make sure that our dirty dishes were cleared and that we had plenty to drink. The food was fabulous, even though later in the evening, the crab legs were supreme! The gaming experience was good. Upon checking out the next morning and getting an hour away I realized I had left my Kindle in the room. I called the hotel and the housekeeping staff was able to retrieve it for me. We drove back to pick it up and it was right there with no issues. We would definitely stay here again.
The Yakima Valley Museum is an exceptional museum that offers both education and entertainment. Its exhibits cover the history of the area from a geographical and historical perspective, with special emphasis on Yakama Native American heritage and agriculture. The museum boasts several prized collections including horse-drawn conveyances, early motor vehicles, and a working model of a Depression-era soda fountain. Additionally, visitors can enjoy exploring the unique kids' section that resembles a small town for children to play in.
There is so much more than you think! We had a good time going through the museum. I went in with a 3, 5, and 7 year old. They had a blast! There are interactive exhibits, screens with informational educational videos, and there is also a children’s play area! It is cost friendly and was definitely well worth the trip. There was rich history of Yakima!

Don't miss this very enjoyable museum focused on the Yakima Valley. Many interactive exhibits with fascinating information on the geologic history of the valley and region as well as indigenous people, many examples of transportation vehicles, curiosities and attire. Learn more about famous people from Yakima and the kids can enjoy a fun play area in the "Underground". Top it off with some ice cream when the classic parlor is open.

Sprawling winter sports area in a 2,000-acre basin with 4 chair lifts & 36 designated runs.
Great place for beginners, Freedom Pass program exceeded my own expectations. The staff members are amazing, especially the ski school staff. The energy they all give off is contagious, I found myself laughing and joking along with them. By lesson #4 we were all on a first name basis. It's been a great experience and I'm looking forward for next season, thanks Mission Ridge!

Visited Saturday 1/22/22. $105 total all day lift, preferred parking, fees and taxes. After rain earlier in the week, conditions were hard ice with a thin groomed layer. Less than 1/3 of the trails were groomed and they were scrapped down after my first 3 runs. 2-2 chair lifts take you up to a high speed quad and 1 more 2 seat chair. I was impressed by the speed of the quad at 17-18mph but most importantly- it didn’t stop running one time during my visit. I’ve visited other Washington resorts where the quad chairs stop frequently but that’s not the case at Mission Ridge. So despite a line at the lift, it goes by fast. All 2 chairs are old school and you gotta be familiar so with new skiers and kids they did stop but not too much. Be prepared to ride with strangers as they don’t have a social distancing policy on the lifts. I was a bit disappointed to see they let early birds stage equipment at beginning of lift line thereby reserving first in line spot without having to stay with the gear.
Lodge was nice with usual fare usual prices. Bathrooms are clean and good condition except the bathrooms located close to the parking lot. They were fairly run down and unkept. Customer service was very good with every engagement we had with the Mission Ridge team.
Today I was only able to hit 1/4 of blues and greens and one blackD but once the groomed was scrapped it was seriously dangerous. The well traveled skier can easily see the mountain would be fantastic skiing under better conditions. Trails run today. Upper and lower Tumwater, Sun spot, upper and lower lip lip, bomber bowl, toketie, Mimi, and boundary road.

Okay, I’ve been going to mission all season, and I’ve loved it, but the icing on the cake has to be the women’s intermediate and advanced group lessons. I’ve really felt myself strengthen as a skier under the tutelage of Laurie, Sam, Heather, and Anya.
Today, I did what was essentially an individual lesson with Laurie, and it was such an amazing experience. She is so kind, so encouraging, and so passionate about the sport. It really helped me to grow my confidence on off-piste terrain. And she knows the mountain so well, it’s really nice to get to explore things I never would have gotten to see on my own. I really cannot thank her enough. If you get a chance to learn from her, just know you really are learning from the best.

Friendly small mountain vibe. Good length green runs for my little kids to learn on. Most chairs are the old school 2-seaters, but they do have 1 very nice upgraded quad chair lift with conveyor loading and windshields (chair 2) and it's the best - goes to the top for an epic 360 view!

Friendly ski resort. Yesterday conditions weren't the best...no fault of the resort...but no lines at the lifts! Nice people. Helpful staff. Clean restrooms. Tailgate lunch in the parking lot near the lodge. Good time had by all.

Mission hadn't received snow in about a month, but the skiing was still excellent. The groomers do an outstanding job - it's like a small, uncrowded Deer Valley. We love this place...

Mission Ridge is the quintessential "old school" ski area. People are friendly, service is great, lines are short, grooming is fantastic, and there is enough interesting terrain for skiers of any level. I gave up on ski areas closer to Seattle owned by big corporations and made Mission my primary ski area. Views are pretty sweet also.

Great home town ski area. Good snow, friendly staff, and close to town. Washingtons only real ski town. Light snow year so far (2023) but all lifts spinning.

We LOVE Mission Ridge!! I take my kids here every year at least once for skiing. We always have the best time! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The ski instructors are kind, knowledgeable and patient. The slopes are well groomed, tons of fun runs for every level. Parking is easy. Lodge has food, retail shop and nice clean bathrooms. We will keep going back!

It is awesome to grow up with a mountain 25 minutes from where you live. It was pretty busy today, but the shuttle was quick to pick us up and get us to the mountain.

Great one if you can stay in Wenatchee for a night. We live in Seattle so it's a bit far as a winter season go-to ski resort. This year the snow conditions in Seattle nearby resorts weren't as good so we wind up here, and we are not disappointed! The place is much less crowded, and when you go up the mountain the snow is very good! It's also just about 25 minutes away from Wenatchee where you can find plenty of food varieties. We'll definitely come back to spend more weekends this season!
Love this place. Their fruit and veggies are of the best quality. Their made from scratch daily baked goods are some of the best I have ever had, especially their pies!!!
I do a lot of freezing juicing, canning and baking so I LOVE that they offer 2nds on their freshly harvested fruits as the prices are so affordable.
But they have much more than produce and such nice people working there. It's a real gem for Yakima.

I love Johnson farm. Not many companies can say they’ve been part of the community and serving customers like they can. Oh, did I mention that the produce and fruits are wonderful and all local and the side businesses of fantastic coffee locally roasted and simply amazing pies (try the Trippe berry) ale I’ll keep you stopping by regularly. And really nice people. “Johnson’s farm, same location since 1904.”

Lovely local orchard that sells their fruits from beautiful old building on the property. It was great to visit a place that didn't stock their shelves with imported fruits, which means selection depends on what is in season. When I went there was a huge selection of apples in addition to a odds and ends from the community such as jams and soaps. I also picked up an apple pie, which was delicious.

Apples, pears, pumpkins, although place is very pricy. $3 for a small dill bunch. Apples 1.99-2.99$/lb, no bulk buy option. Nice place to look around though. Apples, peaches, corn look to be brought from some other orchards and not locally grown at this particular farm, hence added cost.

The team at River Recreation did an AMAZING job and provided me and my crew with a memorable and safe experience that I can't recommend enough. This really is a "must do" when you visit Leavenworth or the surrounding area. The guides are great and the experience really was top notch.

I have been rafting with River Recreation since 2005. Every year I take a group of friends and make some of my greatest memories. The staff are hilarious, well trained and safety conscious always. I would put my life in their hands and no one else’s every time. Wes is their most senior guide, with 26 years of experience. He inspires confidence, puts everyone at ease and makes sure that there is plenty of laughter and fun on the river. No need to pay for camping if you book with River Recreation, the camping is free at the best and most beautiful places on Washington’s 8 rivers for white water rafting!!

5/5 recommend! Holy moly this was such a fun experience. Don was a great host for the camping on site. JT was a fantastic river guide as well. For my very first time going, I had the best time ever! I’m trying to figure out how and when to get back out here again this year! If you love adrenaline, this river tour is perfect! We saw osprey, bald eagles, ET!, and had a blast with our group!

What an Awesome experience!
Don and his experienced guides were very easy to work with and answered all of my questions before the trip. They are very safety conscious and experienced. The Boy Scout Whitewater Rafting Merit Badge class was perfect for our Scouts. They also have a good campsite, on property, that was just what we needed after a long afternoon on the river. Highly recommend this for all Scouts and families.

Laid-back brewpub doling out house craft beers in a rustic yet contemporary setting.
Amazing brewery... I first had their beer back in 2009 and been a regular customer since.
I keep coming back because of the amazing, craft beer style brews and the top notch customer service. All three servers: Nevada, Ashley, Claire will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want and treat you like family/long time friend. I don't think you can go wrong or find a better brewery in the area.
OHHHH and it gets better! They now serve in addition to beer, hard cider and wine!!! So everyone in the group can be happy and find something to match his/her taste.
Check em' out...

Pretty wide selection of beer for on premise and to-go. A nice touch, the to-go beer is just as cheap as you'll find in the grocery store. Nice staff, nice atmosphere, highly recommended if you want a beer. Kids welcome, dogs welcome outside. Free popcorn. Outside food welcome - what little food is for sale here is really just for gastronomic emergencies.

In downtown Ellensburg, this is a pleasant pub from a popular Eastern Washington craft brewery.
The place is yellow outside, which is kind of asking to come in. The inside is welcoming and well decorated. There is also a nice patio that is quite enjoyable when the sun is out.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their brews.
The beer was fine. You have a decent variety to choose from and can go for a flight if you want to try several kinds.
The food was the classic fares for this kind of place, was served in good portion and tasted good.
The prices were fair.
Overall a good experience.

The food.and drink here were excellent! The staff was very friendly and brought out our meals and drinks very quickly. The oven was out, so we were not able to order pizza like we intended, but the Mac and cheese and quinoa wrap that we got were very good for not a bad price. We were also able to fill up a growler for cheap. Highly recommend going here for either hanging out for a drink or for good eats

Taproom has been on our list to visit for a while, so glad we finally made it in! Service was fantastic, tried several beers 🍺🍺 and a few of their newly acquired bad granny ciders . The space is cozy and they serve popcorn. They have these cute little coffee tables made out of half kegs! To go beer is available so grabbed a 6 pack for home 👍

Iron Horse is a pioneer to the Ellensburg chanel of local breweries. As most residents know the movement of the older tasting rooms, Iron Horse's current newer location is in their local production facility.
This is a smaller sized public brewery with a nice larger outdoor seating area. Feel welcomed by there family friendly board game filled library.
Kids and pups welcome!
The staff are extremely friendly and thier beer speaks for themselves.
As a reminder, they do not serve food other then their fresh popped popcorn; they are very welcoming to outside meals, so BYOF.

Nice pub in Ellensburg. Great beer, nice food selection. Our favorite beer is Irish Death. It's a dark beer with a really light taste. Lots if seating available, stop in for a quick beer and a bite to eat.
Waterfront Park in Leavenworth is a peaceful riverside park that offers various recreational activities such as walking and biking trails, play areas, and picnic spots. It's an idyllic destination that features magnificent trees and leaves, which gives it a serene atmosphere. The town of Leavenworth itself is charming with its German-inspired architecture but retains originality to create nostalgia.
Great trail near the river. Flat route. About an hour walk. You should go in a good whether but its nice also on a cloudy day (I was both and both and the difference is noticeable). Highly recommended when you are coming to Leavenworth.

Beautiful park with walking trails next to the river. In March, the ground was compact dirt and not muddy. We went to the playground which was great for older kids 5+ (fewer things for toddlers). Seems to be an easy walk from downtown and is bike-accessible.

Make sure to include a visit to the enchanting waterfront park during your trip to Leavenworth. It offers a surreal experience, with each season bringing its unique charm to this tranquil spot. It's a quaint and peaceful destination, and our usual routine is to begin at the waterfront park and then stroll into downtown as we make our way back.
A drawback is that the maps are not very informative, making navigation quite challenging for someone visiting for the first time, in my opinion.

Escape the busy streets of town for a bit and enjoy the view of the Wenatchee River here. Nice trails, can walk over the bridge to cross the river. Gorgeous scenery, the mountains all around us amazed me! Such a neat place to visit!

Waterfront Park is just down the hill from the main street of Leavenworth and provides a nice respite from the bustle of the main drag. There is a nice playground for the kids, plus a nice walking path that goes along the water. Worth strolling down here for some exercise and change of scenery. A sign says to be watchful for bears; we didn't see any. (That's not a complaint!)
Frecky Lewis — Google review
This is the best part of visiting Leavenworth, in my opinion. We walked it for the first time, the first few days of June. There are still flowers and sunning butterflies and dragonflies all over. There is an aproximately two and a half mile loop of mostly flat, gravel path. There are no tables. There were a few benches to sit and rest along the path. We only saw evidence of self-important types who are too good to clean up after thier dog or themselves once...a dog mess and granola bar wrapper dressed the trail as we wrapped up back by the bridge. A trash receptacle was feet away. Dogs are allowed, on leash...but for goodness sake, bring bags and clean up after them. No waste bags are provided along the trail. Bring your own and clean up.
A few other people were there but there were several points we felt alone for a few minutes as well. The view across the river, on the far side from town, is picturesque. There are plaques showcasing the biodiversity and history of the islands creation, which make up this park. There are public restrooms by the bridge, near the begining of the trail from downtown Leavenworth. There is also a neat, if crumbly staircased lookout at the trails fork before the bridge. We chose to go right and cross as going left keeps you directly by town.
It does get hot quickly already, so I suggest visiting before lunch. There is a significantly steep, if paved road to get down before you come to the entrance. Those with mobility issues may have an easier entry from the boat ramp...though the path is gravel and has some bumps.

Leavenworth is lovely this time of year and Waterfront Park is the best part of the trip. It was fairly crowded on the weekend of 23 October, but the leaves and trees muffle the sounds and it was so nice and quiet. And the leaves were spectacular. Leavenworth itself is a cute little town. Not quite German but does bring back memories. It's roughly a 2.5 hour trip from Seattle. Take route 2 over 90 and you will see amazing scenery. Be prepared to stop often to take in the views but do watch out for all the crazy photographers walking alongside the road to nab their shots.
Icicle Brewing Company, a charming rustic brew pub located in Leavenworth, Washington, is known for its locally sourced share plates and snacks. This popular brewery offers a variety of beers on tap that change with the seasons. Visitors can enjoy weekend brewery tours to learn more about the brewing process. The ambiance both inside and outside is impressive, with fire pits and heat lamps creating a cozy atmosphere.
This is a great place to sit down on a hot day. They have umbrellas and they continuously mist the area to create a cool atmosphere.
Other than beer, they had root beer and some good snacking options. We got a pretzel, charcuterie board and a salad. Everything was great, but I especially loved their salad! It was very flavourful and refreshing.

Every time we come here, it's usually during Oktoberfest and the place is busy. Not today, as it's just a normal Sunday evening in January. Limited vegetarian options, the soup options both have meat. Nice servers, beautiful wooden interior.

The weekend we went it was so cold hot that only a nice cold beer could hit a spot for us, so we went to the icicle and no regrets! The fly was per-fe-ct, and the little charcuterie so good!! I’m so in love with the nuts in that board. But besides that we were in a budget trip, and for sure we had a good time for less than 50 buck w tips! And the staff so well trained! One of the waitresses noticed that my dog was thirsty and brought her fresh water!!! That hit a spot in my heart! FOR SURE we’ll come back!

We really enjoyed all the beers we tried here. I was even apprehensive about the German Chocolate Cake, and it was delicious. The Pale Ale and Raspberry Wheat were our favorites.

It’s my first time visiting Leavenworth, many people recommended this place so thought I’d visit. I am not a fan of beer/cider but was surprised.

Never heard of huckleberry cider though, this will be my go to cider here in future.

We were looking for a place to get a quick bite before attending the outdoor production of the sound of music. This corner brewery filled the bill 100%. We had the meat and cheese tray and it was enough for my wife and I. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Our friends had a pretzel and chicken salad. We were all pleased and satisfied. Our dish was 15 including tax. Lots of beer to choose from as well as soft drinks and water. Lots of seating both inside and out on the patio. On really hot days they have misters going outside to make it more pleasurable

If you're in Leavenworth, or if you're anywhere near and love beer, Icicle Brewing is the place to be. Their standards (Bootjack IPA and Dark Persuasion porter, for example) are always available (and always amazing), but they're constantly adapting and collaborating coming up with amazing brews! Bonus points: They've got great snacks (pretzels, veggie plates, etc.) that are perfect for an afternoon in the sun ... with beer.

We came during Oktoberfest and the brewery was right next to the main line, so it was very crowded to say the least. The wrist bands were a good idea, but only able to order a beer per a wristband was not helpful. I’m sure that during other times, it’s much easier just showing the ID at the bar! Good was good and the beers were even better love that they were pet friendly on the patio!

I am not a big Beer fan. But this place really made me think again. I was left mesmerized with Enhancement Mist. It was so smooth and so good. I also tasted Dragon tail IPA and it was pretty good too. I am definitely visiting this place again.
You have a place to sit outdoors and you can also sit underground. One thing you need to remember is that you can order one beer at a time and you can't buy for another person.

Nice large German themed craft beer hall. There is upstairs, downstairs and outdoor seating. You can order from the bar or a QR code at your table. They also have a gift shop and sell their beer to go in 4 packs. Fun spot to visit, although I found their beers fairly pricey.

Front Street Park is a small green space with shaded walkways and grassy areas. It offers winter activities such as sledding and tree lighting. Located in the charming town of Leavenworth, known for its Bavarian traditions, visitors can enjoy quaint shops offering unique gifts and an array of pubs stretched along the streets. There are plenty of options for wine and beer enthusiasts to choose from.
Wonderful town center! We watched children sled down the hill on snow sleds, a proposal under the gazebo, and musical performances while waiting for our dinner reservation all in one day.

Great place to be when the holiday decorations are up. You can bring your own sled or buy one from the stores. There are lots of wine tasting or tap rooms for beer and cider, so make sure you reserve some time for those. The sidewalks can get pretty slippery, so be careful. I deducted 1 star because it is almost impossible to find a parking place without having to circle the block multiple times. We ended up parking a few blocks away and had to walk on the icy roads to get here.

No parking which is very a problem, there are signs that say don’t park here in winter time.
Had to just come very early just to not get caught illegally parking. The lights are very beautiful, but it’s very slippery in winter time, I was not expecting to freeze yet but I did eventually had to go to the middle area for heat. I didn’t realize that area with the light has heat. Maybe it’s just light but make sure you don’t fall because I feel two times.

Winter is an amazing time of year to visit and I felt like I was right back in the breathtaking state of Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 when we arrived. There are countless little shops and eateries to explore.

Nice place to sit and eat ice cream. Nice public bathrooms. Probably the coolest, freshest tasting public water fountain anywhere near the bathrooms. The speakers in the Pavilion were playing modern hits in polka/accordion style. Grandkids had a blast dancing by themselves in the pavilion and running up and down the sledding hill. During the winter we used to drive 3 hours to go sledding on the short bunny hill here, grab a hot cocoa and do the candlelight procession. On our bucket list whenever we visit the Pacific Northwest.

It was wonderful to watch lightning during Christmas time of the year. Kids had lot of fun at this park in snow. It was overcrowded but still we had lot of fun.

Our recent trip to Leavenworth, Washington, was an enchanting experience that exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the heart of the Cascades, this picturesque Bavarian village transports visitors to a world of old-world charm, stunning scenery, and warm hospitality.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the village's quaint architecture, with its Bavarian-inspired facades adorned with colorful flower boxes and charming storefronts. Wandering through the cobblestone streets felt like stepping into a fairytale, with every corner revealing a new delight to discover.
One of the highlights of our visit was exploring the local shops and boutiques. From artisanal chocolates to handcrafted souvenirs, Leavenworth offers a treasure trove of unique finds that are sure to delight shoppers of all tastes. We particularly enjoyed browsing the Christmas store, where we found a variety of festive decorations to bring home as mementos of our trip.
Of course, no visit to Leavenworth would be complete without indulging in its culinary delights. The village boasts a diverse array of restaurants and eateries, serving up everything from hearty German fare to gourmet cuisine. We savored every bite of our meals, whether dining on schnitzel and sauerkraut or indulging in freshly baked pastries at one of the local bakeries.
In addition to its charming village center, Leavenworth offers a wealth of outdoor activities for nature lovers. We spent a day hiking in nearby trails, soaking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The crisp mountain air invigorated our spirits, and we returned to the village feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Overall, our time in Leavenworth was nothing short of magical. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or simply a chance to unwind amidst stunning scenery, this charming Bavarian village has something for everyone. We can't wait to return and experience its warmth and beauty once again.

This ride was really nice, I'm happy it was open during the winter season. The best experience is to buy your tickets online to go through the line faster.

Great service, very friendly staff. The food was amazing and the cocktail was so good. I tried the jalapeño pineapple margarita and it was so so good. Never had such a good cocktail before. The ambience is perfect for a date night or any celebration. My husband and I went there for our anniversary dinner and we absolutely loved it. I would definitely want to go there in summer again.

Great service very friendly staff (Erin, Lauren and everyone who served us were amazing) but the food was just not in par. Except the morrocan chicken dish that was alright, everything else tasted bad and over cooked. They even messed up the oysters by adding a creamy sauce. Wine selection is limited so consider taking your own favorite bottles and pay the fork fees.
Chopped salad sauce was over powering. Chicken was overcooked. Halibut fish tasted bland and over cooked too. With all due respect the chef needs to put more efforts and get some culinary lessons.

I've been here twice and it wasn't as great the 2nd round. Though customer service was great.. got us in last minute. What wasn't great was the meals. It was very expensive. Kiddos didn't like the mac and cheese. The beet salad was the only thing I liked. (King salmon was dry) Husband got a ribeye steak and he said it wasn't quality cut. The truffle fries were ok. Overall - we won't return to eat dinner. Maybe appetizers and drinks.. but that would be another review.

Great wine and delicious food! Great lounge seating near the massive fireplace! The staff is knowledgeable and very attentive. The Mac and cheese is to die for.. it also helps that the views are amazing! Simply a great time and so relaxing, can't wait to go back.

We recently photographed Jordan & Taylor's wedding at Suncadia + Swiftwater, and all we can say is WHOA. This place starts off by grabbing you with the expansive views and stunning lodge, but going through the motions of an entire wedding day, we saw every tiny detail done PERFECTLY. The way this place, alongside Suncadia Resort, executed our couple's vision, was rather incredible to watch. Can't recommend this location and staff enough to host your wedding!

I cannot overstate how beautiful this place is!! Our family came to sled in the back and they were very accommodating to our group. The staff is very friendly, and the food delicious, for adults and the children in our group. The hot chocolate is delicious! The pulled pork sandwich and the truffle Mac n cheese is delicious. The Flatbreads were a decent size and shareable. The chicken strip were the perfect crispiness according to the adults in the group. We got to sit by an open fire and dry our coats while watching a football game. Food is delicious, staff so very kind and friendly. They were happy to tell us where the best sledding is and make us hot cocoas. Thank you Swiftwater Cellars for giving us such a great experience!

We absolutely loved the Swiftwater. Hoist restaurant was beautifully decorated. Wonderful ambiance and service. The food, oh the food. The best meal, without a shadow of a doubt, we’ve had in literal years. The servers are all knowledge and friendly. The managers work well together and watching the rhythm of their food line workers was really fun. 10/10 all around. Can’t wait to come back and try their flavors in a different season!

People aren’t lying when they say this place has the best food in the whole area.
We loved it here! Came for wine tasting and lunch and then back for dinner.
The staff is sweet and attentive and the wine pours are generous so you get what you pay for.
The flat breads are delicious ( Brie and raspberry)
SWC salad was delicious and super refreshing. The chicken was grilled so nice.
For dinner we had Gnocchi and and flatbread and again sooooooo delicious and flavourful. Dessert doesn’t disappoint either!

Overall a very good experience. It is a little bit loud in the main dining area but that didn't bother us. There is a choice of outside seating with a beautiful view. Flat bread was one of the best I've had. Wagyu beef brisket was amazing. My wife had salmon which was an off the menu special. It was very well prepared. Our server, after taking our order, was nowhere to be found. It wasn't a problem because other servers were more than happy to bring us what we needed.

Unfortunately this restaurant disappointed on almost every front. The restaurant design is big, open, and very loud. Giant TV for sports. If looking for family friendly, maybe ok, but definitely not for a date night. And prices are very high for a family place.
Food was awful and made us sick. The wine was pretty good, so gave 1 extra star.

What a neat place! The vibes are immaculate, especially with the holiday decorations. We tried the Seasonal and No. 9 flights and loved every variety. The charcuterie was pretty good for the price but the summer sausage felt like a low-value filler. The mushroom and lentil soup was so good as well!! A beautiful winter experience. The staff were all super friendly and the building and bathrooms were very clean. Love that they are dog friendly too! Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area and will definitely be recommending this spot to my friends and family!

Our waiter told us that they recently added the Chicken Piccata to their menu, and boy am I glad that they did. This was hands down one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly breaded and the sauce that covered the chicken and potatoes still has my mouth watering.
The group I was with also got a plethora of appetizers, desserts, and drinks which were all outstanding. I personally had the Manhattan which was my favorite (of many) while in Washington for a few days. Can't wait to return some day!
Sprawling park with campsites & trails encompasses lakes, rivers, forest & a 256-ft. waterfall.
We went today on a bright and sunny day, it was crowded and parking lot was full and people parked on road sides, luckily we got it in parking lot itself. We went to both lower and middle falls with my 6 years old kid, he was able to trek all the way on his own. It's 4.2 miles trekking to and fro for middle falls. You'll get the best view in the middle falls and along with that we enjoyed the awesome weather as well. Decent rest rooms and tables to have food as well. You need Discover park to park the vehicles, pets allowed as well.

Amazingly maintained trails!!
1. Experience:
The hike was quite easy till lower falls with a mix of uphill and downhill slopes. But the elevation starts increasing afterwards with frequent steep patches till upper falls.
The trail was amazingly serene with the sound of the stream at the beginning and waterfalls after the lower falls.
It was totally covered with trees so didn’t face any problem even though I went on a sunny day.
2. Trail conditions:
Now coming to the trail, it was well maintained with directions, markings and rest areas (like benches) provided throughout. I took about 4 hours to finish with my beginner to intermediate hiking skills.
3. Parking & amenities:
Parking spaces available are decent but there could be issues with parking on a busy day. Discovery pass is required. Washrooms are neat and clean. They also have information center and seating areas nearby.
Overall highly recommended!!!

Easy hike until right before you get to the falls. Then the hard part comes. There’s two waterfalls you can get to and both are gorgeous. We went more like 7 miles accidentally but whatever
Jordan Pischke — Google review
One of my favorite quick and easy hikes. Get there early as the parking lot does fill up quickly, especially in the summer. The trail is well maintained, but it does get muddy in the spring or after rains. Not challenging but a good pay off.

Hiked Wallace Falls today and it was beautiful to say the least. The trail itself was well groomed. Granted, I went when the weather was dry and hot but come spring or fall, the trail could get slick given some of the steep terrain. Not an easy hike but not a killer hike either. The switchbacks are rough for sure but maybe not a good hike if you're a beginner or out of shape. Lots a great views along the Wallace and both the middle and upper falls have picturesque opportunities with either trail option. It's a popular hike and parking gets limited really quick so come early and beat the rush. Props to the park officials for keeping the trail clean.
Mario Coronado — Google review
Wallace Falls is about 5.6 miles round trip, with a ton of elevation gain (1,500 feet) that happens sometimes gradually and sometimes not. There are three main falls to admire, the lower, middle, and upper falls. You come up on the lower falls pretty quickly because there’s not a ton of elevation gain to get there. You can stop about a mile from the upper falls and enjoy the middle falls if you don’t want to complete the whole hike which is what we did. We visited in January so it was pretty cold, but surprisingly it wasn’t a muddy trail. Everything was extremely well maintained, but I would still suggest wearing a good pair of hiking boots to provide you with extra support.

Beautiful well maintained hiking places suitable for family hikes. If you look forward to go blend with the nature and enjoy the rain forest experience, visit Wallace falls during the February and March to enjoy the natural beauty of water falls, river and hike.
Saju Vallikkat — Google review
Great location for hiking. I recommend to bring enough water and food, there are no cafes or fast food there.
The path to the falls is going through the forest and it will take about 1,5-2 hours to get the Middle Falls.
The nature is beautiful and you can enjoy not only the falls, but also mountain river, lake and lush forest.

This park offers several trails, but you're probably interested in the Woody Trail to Wallace Falls. You'll enter a dense forest, follow a scenic river, then climb up some hills and cross some bridges as you catch some amazing views of a series of waterfalls. Like most visitors, I hiked to the Middle Falls Overlook and head back, which is about a 5 mile trip. It's the most scenic of the vista points. The hike, the forest, and the falls were all amazing!
The trail is only mildly steep for the most part and very well maintained - you don't have to be an expert to make it up. You'll have plenty of company though - this is a popular spot.
You need a Discovery Pass to park, which you can buy in advance or on the machine at the lot. Parking is TOUGH! I barely snagged a spot since I got there in the late morning, even though it was a weekday. Overflow parking is quite a long walk away, so get here early and good luck on weekends.
Christopher Roman — Google review
This is perfect place for a great family hike. We did the lower and middle falls, which is 4.2 miles in total. We reached there around 9:30 am and luckily found a parking in the main lot. If you do not find parking, there are opportunities to do roadside parking. Going up is mostly uphill, it is not too steep but can be challenging for kids and you may need to make stops in between. The views are fantastic, specially at the middle falls. There is a picnic shelter at the lower falls.
Arjun Bardhan — Google review
Beautiful trail. It’s a very famous hike so the parking lot will almost always be packed especially on the weekends. The entire trail is well maintained. I clocked in roughly 5 miles all the way to the upper falls and back to the trailhead. It’s totally worth it in my opinion to push through to the upper falls. The trail is quite steep at some points. Make sure to take your breaks in between. Lots of benches spread throughout. Make sure to stay on the trail as there are steep drops especially from the viewpoints. Discover pass is required!
Azhar Malik — Google review
The reason why I only gave 4 stars first is because there is a high-voltage line at the beginning of the trail road to the waterfall.
You can accompany your dog and the daily fee is $10.00. Of course, it's worth it, the signs are so good, and there are benches everywhere, so it was so nice to take a rest.
The uphill is a bit steep, so it can be a bit difficult for the elderly.
It's 4 miles round trip from the parking lot to the lower fall and it's a highly recommended trail.

While it can get crowded, going in the morning hours will help you avoid the trail traffic.
Be prepared for uphill climbs.

This was a perfect hike for a typical PNW day. The trail is well maintained, views all the way along so no pressure for those who aren’t super hikers. The trail is mostly in the woods so even in the rain and wind it was a very pleasant hike. We got to “middle falls” before deciding to turn around. Some steep sections but nothing crazy. Great little hike! Facilities at the parking area were clean and well kept, parking was easy (don’t forget your discover pass), we brought our dog and he met lots of other friends along the route.

despite it being a bit challenging for me due to arthritis in my right knee, the journey was absolutely worth it. The hike offered beautiful scenery at every turn. I managed about 1 1/2 hours of walking and, although we didn't make it to the falls this time, what we experienced was gorgeous. Hoping to one day reach the falls, but I'm already grateful for the stunning views we encountered.

Large parking lot, which is great for big vehicles. We went to the upper falls, which was around 5.0 miles round-trip. Our dogs enjoyed the small crowds and the many places to stop and get a drink. Beautiful waterfalls and such an amazing view! There are a few spots where the step up and downs are pretty steep. At the top, it is misty so the ground can make the roots slippery. Make sure to watch your step. We enjoyed the hiking trails at this state park!

It's not a winners night every night. It seems we win a lot less led often but I'll give kudos where deserved. They make so far better effort at promotional events than other local casinos. But they've all gotten stingy. I recommend going for lunch or dinner or music but gambling as a side event fur you day. Then it won't be so disappointing win you walk out with zero winnings most times. The good is great. Enjoy. I keep going back for fun... hoping.

I think I need a redo I went on a weekday day morning since I wouldn't be able to go over the weekend. It was very spacious clean and super friendly staff. It was pretty uneventful since it was fairly early. Haven't been to casinos outside of Vegas (its prohibited in my residing state) so not sure if free alcohol drinks is a common thing at most casinos but not here that I could gather. There was little eats and lounges along the wall. But most were just opening up or still closed all together. But they did have a designated spot where you could get complementary coffee and soda from the fountains. I enjoyed the exterior scenery more nature little creek trees ect. Also not sure where they were coming from/going to but they had their own charter bus and a little shuttle that could be helpful.

It's nice. Valet was free for me the Sunday I went, maybe it's always free I don't know for sure. I had a couple drinks in the bar before having the buffet. Drinks are good and good price. The buffet was just okay, but so also good price. I wish the non smoking areas were more prevalent and/or the air was better circulated. They need better signage navigating around the property for the parking garage. The gas station was nice and friendly staff everywhere.

Solid casino that offers plenty of parking.
Be aware they allow indoor smoking of cigarettes, but their parking lot outside of the parking garage is patrolled by security, and they didn’t have a problem with me sleeping in my camper there overnight.
Plenty of live gambling games and tons of virtual games as well as few restaurants inside with a range of prices. Solid!

There are many people on weekends, but there is no smoking area and non-smoking area in the casino. In summer it is very hot and airless. The food at the fall buffet is pretty standard. From salads to entrees and desserts, everything was delicious and fresh, and the service was superb.

My recent visit to Snoqualmie Casino left me thoroughly impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly, making me feel welcomed from the moment I stepped through the doors. Not only that, but the entire casino was impeccably clean, maintaining a high standard of hygiene that is especially reassuring in today’s environment.
One aspect of the casino that I particularly enjoyed was the cigar lounge. It felt like a home away from home, providing a cozy atmosphere where I could relax and unwind. The attention to detail in the club’s design and amenities truly made it a standout feature of my experience at Snoqualmie Casino.
Overall, I highly recommend Snoqualmie Casino to anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and a clean environment. Whether you’re there for the gaming or to enjoy the amenities like the cigar lounge, you’re sure to have a fantastic time.

Snoqualmie Casino is one of the most well known Casinos in Washington State. Of all Casinos here. My Family & I prefer to Play and Dine in Snoqualmie.

I come here purely for the restaurants and for the view (which can be viewed from the parking lot top levels or any of their dining options excluding the market) The casino is very clean and service at all of the restaurants are fantastic. Great staff!
Smoke smell is a bit overwhelming sometimes but they have generally good air filtration systems I think. Not a place to bring young kids even if you're just visiting restaurants since the second hand smoke is bad for the lungs. I personally wear a mask indoors while going through the machine areas anyways.
Really enjoy coming here in the winter months and seeing fantastic views of snow dusted cascade mountain range while dining. There's also lots of birds around here, we usually get to see hawks as well!

This was my first casino I made a trip to and as we always say - first impressions are the best ones this place has that in my mind for ever. The casino restaurant serves one of the best burgers around WA when it comes to veggies - the Boca burger, I sometimes just make a trip to this casino to have that. They also have a few vending machines for free including coffee and some soft drinks. They are expanding further so make sure you check the parking pathways as they have left them a little confusing.

Snoqualmie Falls is a well-known and scenic waterfall, standing at 270 feet tall and surrounded by a 2-acre park. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view from an observation deck or venture down to the lower viewing platform. The site is easily accessible by car, located just 40 minutes away from Seattle, with free parking available on the other side of the road or paid parking closer to the site.
Beautiful, picturesque waterfall, next to a hotel. Certainly worth visiting. Make sure that the weather is clear before coming.

Nice falls. Had a great trek on a trail, it is a little steep but worth the trek. The views from top and foot of the falls are great. Great spot for some quite time or just to have a beer river side. Sometimes too many people could make it disturbing but generally it is a peaceful place.

Stunning views! Visiting from out of state and just happened to stumble upon this amazing waterfall. You can view the falls from a lookout above or you can follow the trail and see the falls from below. Ample parking in the later evening. The hike down to the lower viewing was pretty steep. Paid parking right in front but free parking across the street.

The place is beautiful, the trails are expansive, and there is a place to buy gifts and food. If you are going to walk the trails, please be mindful that what goes down must come up. Save your energy for your trip back up, or you will end up very tired. There are a lot of steep parts to the trails, so those parts are not for inexperienced walkers. Please obtain a map or something if this is a concern.

40 minutes by car from Seattle. You can park for free on the other side of the road or park right next to the site for a fee.

Today was a beautiful day to see this! Absolutely breathtaking. Some of the stairs are closed off from the upper lot but just walk down a different path and you'll catch the 1/2 mile trail sign. Coming back up might be difficult for some, if you started from the upper lot. I'd recommend parking at the lower lot and walk along the trail/bridge (4th picture) to get to the falls.

We visited the falls on our vacation to Seattle. We came on a Friday afternoon at around 2 pm. Had a good amount of foot traffic but not terribly busy. Enjoyed the falls as it is a popular tour destination. Interesting to see its history. Worth seeing if you are in the area. Nice little park area to sit or enjoy a small picnic covered by trees. Nice plants around the area too. They have a gift shop full of souvenirs and books and such. Also a coffee/snack shop with ice cream. We were there for about 1-1.5 hrs. Google maps will take you to a restricted access road. Follow the local signs when you are there.

The trail down to the lower falls is easy enough the whole family can most likely handle it ( steady incline on the way back up) . If you have the time to stay or dine at Salish Lodge you can’t go wrong there either.

Beautiful scenery! Simply breathtaking. The view is amazingly calming. For a Saturday parking was bad at all. We paid $8.30 for 2 hours. The only thing is that it’s scan to pay.

I’m from the east coast. Yes we have Niagara Falls, but the west coast is just so much better. This was one of the most unique and interesting places I have been. I was in Seattle for work but snuck in a few trips here and there to check things out. This was so worth the drive out there. The trees in the area are huge, nothing like what have on the east coast. The falls a big, the sound and mist are very beautiful. If you are anywhere near Seattle make the trip here to see them. The walk from the parking area is very easy. Walking to the bottom of the falls is not. One must be in decent shape to make it down and back up again. Take your time, stop and enjoy the sights, and soak up a little nature.

Snoqualmie Falls, both by day and night, stands as a beautiful, majestic, magnificent, and mesmerizing 270ft waterfall. Surrounded by lush greenery, it presents a serene yet powerful spectacle. I've visited this waterfall multiple times, enjoying views from both the top and the bottom deck.

In terms of waterfalls it's not that big, but the surrounding nature is very beautiful. There is a paved walkway to admire the waterfall but there is also a moderate to kind of severe hike to the bottom of the falls that is not paved. Just some dirt and rocks and it can get pretty steep at some points.
I wouldnt call it steep to where it's dangerous but it is steep enough to where the average person might have difficulties walking down and return back uphill.
Someone in my group in her 50s did it in flip flops and I saw multiple children so it though, so it is possible.
The hike is totally worth it to see all the trees and wonderful sights along the way.

The Reptile Zoo is a well-kept and spacious facility that offers hands-on experiences with various reptiles such as lizards, snakes, and an albino alligator. Tortoises, turtles, iguanas, crocodiles, African bullfrogs, and tarantulas are among the creatures available for viewing. The staff is friendly and each reptile has personal details displayed. Visitors can also browse through the small gift shop upon entering.
I love this location and so does my son! We are big reptile fans and this place just keeps getting better and better over the years. They have a wondeful selection of reptiles. Staff always friendly and informative. Great location for all ages and close to home,.

Smaller than I imagined, but fit lots of different reptiles inside the exhibits. You can go through this in an hour maybe two if you take your time.
Most exhibits are harder to see through and needs updating, which I think is happening soon.
Still had a good exhibits and worth the price.
James Hubbard — Google review
I highly recommend visiting this reptile zoo, but be sure to dress comfortably as it can get quite warm inside, which is perfect for the reptiles. I was thrilled to see the diverse range of reptiles, and it was an unforgettable experience to touch a snake for the first time and come face to face with a crocodile. These creatures are truly magnificent. While I wished the facility was better maintained and provided more spacious habitats for the animals, I understand the financial constraints involved. Overall, it's a worthwhile visit for any reptile enthusiast.

Neat and tidy, organized and spacious inside. Lots of snakes, tortoises, turtles, lizards and iguanas. A few crocodiles, African bull frog, tarantulas too! Most of the tortoises and a python were open for petting. Our 6 and 10 year olds were amazed. Good value for the entry fee. Worth spending two hours with those amazing creatures.

Went with my 4.5 year old and he absolutely loved it! We got to pet a few turtles which was nice. And so many different snakes. Which was kinda cool to learn about them, since I’m absolutely petrified of them but knew my son would love to go. All the way home, all he could talk about was the Reptile Zoo and how cool it was. Will definitely come back again.

DO NOT BELIEVE the lower star reviews. Bunch of vegan hippies who worship peta and post bad reviews for normal zoos. Anyways - I loved this place. The people are awesome and I saw no signs of neglect. Everything looked clean and there was definitely enough room for them considering they are rescues and unable to live in the wild. Take your kids! Not only is there tons of cool information to read as you ago, the gift shop has great prices and it’s a very fun experience

We spotted this place as we driving through Monroe WA.
We went back to check it out.
Admissions fee $10.96 and it is a Self Tour, but at 5pm they have a “feeding tour” which is included in the entrance fee.
Be prepared as it is a bit humid in temperature for the comfort of the reptiles and other creatures to be comfortable.
Lot’s of cool creatures to see.

The reptile zoo did not disappoint. There were many different types of snakes and turtles. There was a crocodile and alligator. Each reptile had its personal details displayed. There is a small gift shop upon entering. The staff are friendly. Overall, a great experience!

What an awesome place to go visit especially with children!
Filled with reptiles and bugs from around the world, it is highly educational and allows people to be up close to nature's amazing diversity. Absolutely LOVE IT!
Very inexpensive to visit, we will go again! Loved the crocodiles, snakes, and turtles!

We had a fantastic time visiting the Reptile Zoo! The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they took the time to answer all of our questions. The variety of animals was great, and all of the reptiles seemed healthy and happy. We especially enjoyed seeing the black tortoises, which were huge and majestic. Our children were also really engaged and excited to learn about all of the different reptiles.
The only downside to our visit was that we live out of state and won't be able to come back anytime soon. However, we would definitely recommend the Reptile Zoo to anyone who is interested in learning more about reptiles or who is looking for a fun and educational outing for the family.

My partner and I are from South Eastern BC and would often travel to Monroe for Formula Drift; every time we passed this business I would comment how I wanted to stop there. We had travelled to Seattle in early October 2023 for my birthday and were travelling the day of my birthday so we decided to stop in at the Reptile Zoo. Not sure how we managed to plan it this perfectly, but we got there right at feeding time on a Friday. We toured through with another group and watched majority of the reptiles get fed which was a super cool experience! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he was very passionate about his reptiles; he shared a story / a memory about each and every one of the reptiles there with us. As someone who has owned several snakes in the past, I can confirm that the reptiles did not appear to be uncomfortable or in distress, as some other reviews may suggest. This was definitely an amazing way to spend my birthday and we will absolutely be stopping in again the next time we are in the area!!

The Reptile Zoo was actually a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I brought my 2 year old and we were there for a whole hour. They can pet some of the tortoises, which is neat! Also, this is not a glorified pet shop – there are black mambas! It's super cool seeing the most dangerous snakes in the world.

Great!! Worth stopping here. The reptiles were incredible. The staff was friendly and informative. Don't miss petting the tortoises. Kids absolutely loved it.
Sam Morris — Google review
My kid had fun. We saw exotic animals.
They all look3d so miserable and sad. They looked neglected. The building looked like it was borderline condemable. There was spider webs everywhere. Hazards galore. Plugs and metal and water combined. An unlocked snapping turtle cage. Rotting food in cages no water in hot cages crowded with little to no supervision. People tapping and banging on glass. Unsafe kids area with lights held by duck tape. Dirty very gross cages. Oil water. Blocked fire extinguishers. Rotting ceilings. Literally dripped water and debry onto me personally. It is so gross so sad and so dangerous. But your kids might love it. Never again. Never ever again. Should be shut down!!!!!

Pet an alligator and a snake. Super cool selection of reptiles (snakes, lizards, alligators, turtles, frogs, etc). Pretty good layout. Note, they keep it warm! (I assume cuz reptiles be cold blooded....)

Such a fun spot to check out reptiles! My 4 year old and I had a blast looking at them all. Not a huge zoo, but that was good for our attention span.

We had an amazing time at the reptile zoo. My daughter was able to pet a snake and a crocodile. The experience was priceless and the admission is worth the price! Friendly staff! We would go back for sure!
Update: We have returned two years later with my nephew and MIL. They have added so much more and my daughter (her second visit, too) and nephew loved it!

Elaborate memorial dedicated to guitarist Jimi Hendrix in the Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery.
Beautiful and well maintained memorial in a peaceful cemetery. Maybe not wild of enough for the style of Jimi in life, but a mroeual fitting for him none the less.

This was the first respects I paid to an iconic, influential and genuine artist Jimi Hendrix. The overwhelming feeling of peace and love and a little something magical about the air. I thought these photos from my 2011 west coast trip had long ago disappeared but stumbled across them a few weeks ago and figured a small belated review and sharing were in order. ✌ Fly on little wing...

I visited Jimi’s grave first in 1997. It was a simple stone hidden away. What the family has done here is wonderful. Fitting for a man that has such an impact on so many.

Very well maintained and beautiful area. Visitors should keep in mind the monument is part of the local cemetery and other members of the Hendrix family are interred there.

We saw this memorial circa 1999 when we first moved to the area. Visited again in 2021... even better. Recommend a visit. I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert in 1968 and was hooked as a fan. Purple flowers that line the walkway .... a very nice touch. Will post more pics soon.
A must see.

Great place to remember.
Take a moment to be with him and his music.
There is also offered a Jimmy Hendrix Memorial Room to sit and relax with his spirit in a Private place (see my pictures from this room - wall).
The place is worth to travel to visit!

It doesn't matter where you stand, it's a powerful feeling from down the walkway, or standing within next to the guitar surrounded by his words. I felt gratitude being there early enough in the morning I got to be alone to take it all in. Appreciate that there is thought of family here so they are together.

Easy to find and pretty cool memorial for Jimi Hendrix. The purple flowers are so pretty even on cloudy days. If you are a music fan, you should check out this spot and tourist attraction. I would have loved to see him live. What an amazing show that would have been!
Please be respectful as this is a memorial!

In 2017, I was burning up the road heading out of country. I'd been from Oklahoma to Florida. Then Florida to Texas, and on to Arizona after that. From Arizona it was on to California, and so on up to Washington. Many times during that ride, Jimi had come up on my iPod. When I stopped in Oregon, and was looking over Seattle for sites to see, I saw that his memorial was in the area. I rode out of Vancouver, OR at 3 or 4 am, and all I played on the way up were his albums. I got to his Memorial a little after the sun rose and spent a some time there paying respects. He was gone too soon, but his voice and words will live on long after I'm gone. Rest in peace.

My work takes me near the Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery a couple of times a week, right around the break of dawn. The sky in the east turns slightly pink, sprinklers turn on, and the mist makes the memorial appear hovering off the ground. I light up one, and play one of Jimi's songs. It is a nice way to spend one's break.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery is a picturesque estate that produces wine and offers tours, tastings, summer concerts, and food pairings. Visitors can enjoy a quick tasting or relax in the sunken garden. Limited edition varieties are available exclusively at the winery, along with widely available options at great prices. Excellent customer service includes allowing customers to taste before buying. Reservations are recommended for all those in the area who want to experience this wonderful winery.
This is one of the nicest wineries site in WA state. They have some good wines but quite mainstream so usually i prefer wine tasting in smaller wineries around. However, they offer outside concerts in summer which are really enjoyable and fun to attend with family or friends. You can bring your picnic, buy wine at the winery and enjoy the concert that way.

For a birthday surprise I reserved the brunch box for a group of 5. Now when we think of brunch we think of a decently filling meal. Let me first say, overall, this place is beautiful and the service was great! Staff were friendly, quick to seat us, and follow up with any of our needs. The 4 mimosas did not disappoint us! Food wise, for the amount I paid I feel like they could offer more food. We all got one chicken/waffle, one sausage, shared yogurt and shared skillet hash browns. We ordered the rest of the food on the side as we were still hungry. The food tasted great. Literally everything had flavor. I wouldn’t do the brunch box again but I will be going back.

Came here on a holiday weekend and got lucky with a walk in tasting! The whole family did the 2 white and 2 red tasting paired with the flight bites, and everything was so great!
There were two bonus drinks, one at the start and one at the end, and the bartender helping us gave a great rundown of the wines and where they came from. It’s a perfect place to take parents around Woodinville. Definitely recommend!
Kimberly Clemens — Google review
Breathtaking views and a menu to match! The menu compliments the wines with its small but vast variety of perfect portions.
We had three varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon which were different in texture, color and taste.
We also had their Melbac and their white wine. We highly recommend this place.
Next time, we’re checking out the heated domes!
Food:
Spinach Artichoke dip w/hot pita
Duck & fig flatbread
Parmesan fried (huge bowl)

Just a great experience all around. You don't even have to be here that long. The tastings are quick. The sunken garden experience we did was very laid back. Parking is a little on the light side. The prices are great, as their varieties are widely available, but their are limited editions only available here as well. The customer service was excellent, as they will let you taste a few to find what you like before buying. I'd advise all in the area to visit. Make reservations!

Defenetly worth a visit! The place is beautiful and impressive, great way to spend an afternoon sipping on wine.
🍽 Food is OK, I tried their cheese and meat platter, an artichokes dip which is fantastic
🍷 I did a wine flight it was pretty good, I wish they would also give you recommendations on what to order to try your flight with. Wine is delicious by itself but you can also bring out a lot flavor notes by mixing it with food.
👤 Service is great, everyone is really nice.
🛎 make a reservation because it does get crowded
🚻 they have bathrooms
🅿️ they offer free parking inside chateau Ste Michelle

Gotta love the Grande Dame of Washington wineries! ♥️ The breathtaking grounds never disappoint and the majestic Chateau is a gorgeous as ever. Summer Concerts here are simply the best. We’ve experienced many concerts here over the years, but this one was a little different. The security now is top notch. They’ve really got it down. We sailed right through and it hardly felt like we even stood in line despite the full crowd. The wine was delicious, of course, that goes without saying. Fun assortment of food vendors too. Was impressed to see new, private viewing cabanas and additional assigned seating, although I don’t think anything could make me give up my beach chairs and picnic basket! Always a good time at Ste Michelle. Susan Says…the show must go on!

An amazing experience! James Taylor concert was out of this world good! I think they need to figure out parking and crowd effectiveness though, seemed a bit cumbersome process but once inside love the venue. Give yourself at least 2 hours ahead of concert and go early!!! Plenty of food and wine while you wait in the beautiful venue. Also members get discounts 🥳

Beautiful spot! The winery is an incredible property, including a concert venue with an awesome summer line up. We had the feature flight, which was affordable ($30) and delicious. We got to try 2 of their whites and 2 of their reds, with an additional bonus pour at the end. Although we didn't make it in time for the tour, we were still able to explore the grounds and various spaces inside.

If you are looking to have winery experience in town without driving far, this is the best & most Beautiful property. They used to have a Free walk tour and wine tasting about 1/2 hour, but now not anymore. There are so many great things about it and you can easily spend 3 hours here: you can walk around inside the Chartaeu, wine display & selling areas; outside the entire property: the gazebo, the pond, the vineyard and concert areas. And the parking is free. The Ste. Michelle Brut Rosé wine is about $20, good to grab one and try. Highly recommended.

My jaw dropped when I walked into this place! Endless options and loved the gift shop entrance. We were greeted by the hostess and they asked what we were looking for in tastings. We wanted a variety so we were guided to the Enoteca upstairs. James was our winery host and really helped assist us in andwering our questions and making sure we knew about the different options and tastings. I REALLY enjoyed 14 Hands options from dessert to dinner pairings. My husband fell in love with Erath the pinor. This stop is a must see!

Wine Tasting Series, Part 4
Wineries…in the Pacific Northwest? That would have been news to me if it weren’t for our friends @jnmgoose, @daphae11, and @fred.mougayer. That group of HT Friends (who have coincidentally never been in a room all together…thus far 😉) all recommended that we make the time to visit Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery and are we glad that someone (🫵) finally listened (🤦♂️)!!!
While the “Wine Tasting Series” is a relatively new one, a clear favorite has emerged. I mean, what is there NOT to like here?
The wine selection is extensive (including bubbly options), there is a calendar of live musical performances, their Summer Concert Series features a shocking number of quality musicians, they offer private Chateau Igloos, and they offer a (limited, but) quality diverse menu of food options.
Although we didn’t have the opportunity during our visit, we’d love to experience their “Bubbly Beats Experience” in the future which features curated song playlists linked to specific wine pairings. 🤯
Oh, yeah. We are definitely hoping for a return visit. After all, we don’t always drink sparkling wine, but when we do, we prefer Chateau Ste. Michelle Rose. 😉
And that’s…Henry’s Take.

Such a gem!! Beautiful flowers, plants, trees... Very welcoming environment. Small library in the coffee shop with friendly people. While we walked I noticed that is such a thoughtful setup through the park, you can find benches everywhere, nice shadow areas for the sunny day. A beautiful temple to come and meditate or observe. Every section of the park has a nice ambience. I enjoyed visiting this place.

The Bellevue Botanical Garden is a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With its sprawling 53 acres of diverse gardens, restored woodlands, and natural wetlands, it's a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike.
* **Vibrant Blooms:** My visit during sunny weather was perfectly timed to witness a stunning display of colorful flowers in bloom.
* **Garden Variety:** The variety of gardens is impressive, from the peaceful Fuchsia Garden to the educational Native Discovery Garden. Each section offers a unique perspective on the Pacific Northwest flora.
* **Free Admission:** A huge perk is that the garden is free to enter, making it an accessible and budget-friendly outing for everyone.
* **Capture the Beauty:** Don't forget your camera! The vibrant flowers and picturesque landscapes provide ample opportunities for capturing stunning photos and videos, just like I did.
* **Relax and Reflect:** Find a quiet corner amidst the lush greenery and simply soak in the tranquility of the surroundings.
**Overall, the Bellevue Botanical Garden is a must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful escape or a dose of floral inspiration. I highly recommend it!**

My husband and I came here to go for a walk. Super cute place. Very nice and clean. We enjoyed the suspension bridge the most. The coffee shop was great and the variety of different flowers was amazing. Some we've never seen before. Would be a great place to get married at. Beautiful park. There is restrooms that are very clean. And very cute little gift shop. Make sure to grab a map so you know where you are. There are lots of paths and you can easily get turned around. Highly recommend.

Bellevue Botanical Garden is immaculate, well-maintained, and endlessly gorgeous. It's free, and provided an amazing experience.
I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area, or local. It's something I had never checked out before because of how hidden it is, but it is high and above the best public park I've ever been to. It's serene, yet full of life.

A massive green space that beautifully transitions from a garden full of colourful flowers and perennials, to a trail with various types of ferns and shrouded by massively tall trees, and everything in between.

We were there early morning and it was almost perfect. A little chilly, a fair amount of mosquitoes and only a handful of others. I wish we'd have had more time to spend there. The house and store were closed but it was quiet and peaceful. The flowers were beautiful as well as the grounds. It was free and the bathrooms were heated and very clean. What a blessing to have in the heart of the Bellevue area.

We went in the afternoon of a sunny day in April so the weather was perfect.
We enjoyed the walk in the garden. Many roses and flowers have not blossomed yet. Some plants has name tags and others has codes to scan and see in the website.
Unfortunately the coffee house closes early around two, while the place is available for later time. If you are coming in the afternoon bring your own drinks and snacks.

I recently visited the Bellevue Botanical Garden and was absolutely mesmerized by its natural beauty and serene ambiance. This hidden gem in Bellevue, Washington, is a must-visit for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts.
The garden boasts a wide variety of meticulously maintained gardens, each with its own unique charm. From the vibrant Perennial Border to the enchanting Yao Garden inspired by Japanese design, there's something for everyone to appreciate. The Native Discovery Garden was a personal favorite, showcasing the rich diversity of plants native to the Pacific Northwest.
I was impressed by the informative and friendly staff at the Visitor Center, who provided valuable insights and recommendations during my visit. The gift shop was stocked with a delightful selection of plants, books, and garden-related items that make for perfect gifts or souvenirs.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape from the city or seeking inspiration for your own garden, the Bellevue Botanical Garden is an oasis that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired. It's a place where you can connect with nature, appreciate the beauty of plants, and enjoy moments of tranquility.
I highly recommend visiting the Bellevue Botanical Garden. It's a true gem that showcases the nature in a nutshell and provides an unforgettable experience.
Notable mention; Ravine Experience is something out of an anaconda movie, the wilderness and the whimsically adventurous bridge make the trail although mesmerizing.

Beautiful green space transitioning from colorful flowers to hiking trail with winding paths, small water fountains, meditation space and more. There are multiple entrances with a lot of ground to cover. One of the hiking trail leads to a beautiful bridge at the end which is a prime photography spot. Parking is plentiful on the weekend. Kind of secluded and a space to provide calming experience. A must visit whether you enjoy nature photography or want to have fun with nature/friends/family.
Admission: Free
Season to visit: all time; there are holiday lights during winter and plenty of greenery and colors in spring and summer

Absolutely beautiful garden!! We went in January and most plants were dead but definitely going to be back when they're in full bloom, nonetheless still a great adventure! Nice walk, very peaceful, great for all ages, clean and serene. You could hear frogs and see hummingbirds, the bridge was really awesome as well! Free entry, and huge parking lot.

This is a super fun free activity to do. We went on a lightly rainy day admittedly during off season and I still enjoyed the gorgeous scenery. They had so many paths, ample signs, and clearly traversable paths as well. I can’t wait to visit in the warmer weather to see all the plants during full bloom.

Park is beautiful as it is bountiful, colorful as colorful gets (season permitting), and honestly you can't beat the price: FREE (± optional donation). Come once and again to meditate and marvel at what the garden has to offer with trails and features aplenty. If spring is in the air, be sure to bring your allergy meds.
Pick up a free map or scan for one to follow online. Kids can enjoy the activity sheet that includes a scavenger hunt. Adults can join too: "Find a flower, stem, or branch with the same number of petals or leaves as your age"...ok, maybe too difficult! Dogs aren't allowed although there is a nearby park (Wilburton Hill) where you can take your pooch. All the less to worry about what you might step in anyway.
The layout of the garden kind of reminds me of a statue of a Grecian goddess—like which you might see pouring water into a stream. To wit, starting from the Trillium gift shop, stroll along the top of the goddess' head (Rock Garden, Urban Meadow), onto the forehead (Perennial Border), face (Tateuchi Loop), bodice (Lost Meadow Trail, Ravine Bridge), neck (Native Discovery Garden), nape (Yao Garden), and curly coiffure (Shorts House, fuchsias, rhodies, waterfall).
Towards year-end, come back to see their spectacular Garden D'Lites nighttime extravaganza for a nominal fee. For about a month the garden is lit up at night with a gadzillion (give or take) Christmas lights, all meticulously constructed months in advance and designed to dazzle you away and tide you over to your next visit to this one of the city's best shared secrets.

This is a beautiful free garden. We could have stayed twice as long as we did. I think we were there a little over and hour and we only saw half. The suspension bridge was really fun and had some amazing views. The plants were not in bloom but that did not take away from the beauty. You could really see the moss on the trees and just how alive the forest is. They had their garden lights up for the holidays so those were throught but unlit. They weren't distracting or anything, they made us wish we had time to see them at night. Parking was free as well. We went on a Sunday morning and didn't pass many people on the trial. It was beautiful, I highly recommend 👌

We visited for the holiday lights display. It was a great visit! A nice, leisurely stroll through very nice and rightly themed lights, it was a great experience.
Plenty of volunteers on hand, often offering to take a picture of you and your family if they see you doing a selfie.
Just a really nice walk seeing all of the lights. Parking on their lot at the time had a small charge of $5, but it was unfortunately full so we parked down the hill for free, but the hill is a steep one and a bit daunting if you're not an active person.
But well worth the trip!

Nice stroll at the gardens. As its winter, flowers have not bloomed yet, but there is nice foliage around. Having maps along the way (and also distances as to how long each trail) would be nice. Can't be free entrance and free parking!
The Kubota Garden is a magnificent 20-acre Japanese-style garden that originated in 1927. Its creator, Fujitaro Kubota, was a self-taught expert in landscaping who skillfully combined traditional Japanese techniques with native plants from the Pacific Northwest. Situated in South Seattle's Rainier Beach neighborhood, this stunning park features hills, valleys, streams, waterfalls, ponds, and rocky formations.
Beautiful gardens with many paths. We went in April and the flowers were blooming. We even got to see a turtle sunning itself! The park was moderately busy with people of all ages enjoying the sights. I really liked the arrangements of rocks around the various waterways. A few spots were a little crowded with people taking pictures, but that's not too uncommon in places like this. I recommend it for a family walk, a romantic stroll, or a peaceful visit alone.

This place is beyond beautiful! Full of flowers, trees, ponds, bridges, fish, and even a turtle. It was so relaxing and not overcrowded! There is no cost to visit and parking was easy. My child still hasn't stopped asking to go again a week later. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

a fabulous garden - really feels like a hidden gem. a peaceful retreat from the loudness of life, there are plenty of little nooks you can find to take a seat and just observe. free to visit, free to park! several picnic tables available as well as various benches hidden throughout for a quiet place to rest. I thought I wouldn't be able to find a restroom beyond the porta potties near the entrance, but I was relieved to see a fully functioning public restroom located closer to the exit.

Great for a midday stroll, but with some mild parking challenges. It's a fancy little Japanese foliage garden with a good selection of plant species.
The garden is on a big slope and there are lots of layers in the foliage. The tall trees surround you with 360 degrees of quiet nature.
I would have appreciated some plaques or pamphlets to learn about the different plants and sculptures, and their cultural significance.

So many trails, so many "rooms", so many passages... so many different experiences possible. I think you could come here a dozen times and have a unique experience each time. Amazing that it's free. Not the greatest Japanese garden but very nice. I'd plan to spend 30 minutes to an hour here. Donations accepted.

This is a pretty Japanese-ish garden nestled in a quiet neighborhood. I visited in Jan on a moody day.
The little ponds with the Koi fish, small waterfalls and winding trails are a nice getaway for a few! I expect that the gardens look better in Spring, Summer and Fall! 😊 It is not a traditional Japanese Garden, but incorporates many of the features.
The entrance is free. Most people we came across wore a mask. The parking is limited. And there are many signs saying car break-ins are a regular thing. So, don’t leave valuables in the car!!

It is a pretty neighborhood Japanese garden. It is free entrance. It is well kept and clean. They build restrooms and picnic table areas. There are many spots through out gardens. It is good size for a walk.

Beautiful and surprisingly large garden with winding trails and some steep parts. A huge variety of plants and it was peaceful when I was there. There are quite a lot of signs warning you to take valuables out of your car but I didn't see any break ins or have an issue while I was there.

A beautiful park that is larger than it seems. Multiple ponds, bridges, waterfalls/trickles, a wide variety of plants & trees, as well as a small forested area to explore. Many things to see no matter the season. Free to visit, but there is a donation box that I would recommend adding to if you're able.

If you want to de-stress, have some relaxing time or just want to have some great time with yourself, this garden is a great place to do these things. I appreciate the signs along the roads so that people cannot get lost. Again, it has beautiful scenery and falls

While I admittedly wasn't getting the Japanese feel this garden is supposed to have, it's still a very beautiful garden that you should stop at if you have the time. There are pamphlets up front to guide you through everything there is to see. If you stop to see everything, this could take up to an hour depending on how to get to the various scenic spots. Overall, it's worth a stop if it's convenient, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Beautiful zen gardens transporting you away (mentally) from the city despite it being in the city. Very peaceful, lush, and clean. Me and bf went on a picnic date. Needless to say, it was a success. 10/10 would recommend!

Kubota Gardens in summer is a symphony of greens. From verdant light filtering though tall maple leaves, to the dizzying array of both carefully manicured and riotous evergreen specimens, this garden in summer offers peace as well as delight. Lean into your curious nature and let whimsy choose your path through these acres. Then come back in fall for fiery colors, and spring for hundreds of blooms. Each season here is guaranteed to offer new delights.

Beautiful and expansive free Park but a word of caution. The place is very large and the maps they provide you with are not very detailed. We finally had to ask somebody else how to get to the exit there aren't many trail markers. A great place to spend a few hours don't expect to get through there in any less time than that.

This is one beautiful park and a hidden gem of a garden! Beautiful trails are adorned by different flowers, plants and trees. The water features and ponds are great with plenty of spots to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

This was a great place to walk around and enjoy nature. The garden is beautiful and open to the public for free. There was a small parking lot (but there were open spots). I did note that there was broken glass so I suspect it’s best to leave valuables out of sight. There are public restrooms but they are currently closed for renovations. The fall colors are still vibrant. It was very peaceful and picturesque. There are no play structures but many fun places to walk and plenty to see if you are mindful.

Amazingly pretty park. Well trimmed and had a large variety of native greens and also Japanese maple.
A visit can take 30min to 1hr depending on the type of person you are.
Would recommend for those traveling to or from SeaTac into Seattle proper.

Another beautiful botanical garden in Seattle. Easy walking trails and lots of unique plants here. Parking is free, but take your valuables with you, make sure your doors are locked, or at least make sure things in your car are out of sight. Dogs are allowed on leash and keep them on the trail per the garden’s policy. Bathrooms are available on premises. They even offer public group tours (reserve in advance online).

I come here frequently and it is one of my favorite spots in Seattle! The Kubota Garden feels vast, filled with little features and special spaces to discover.
I feel rejuvenated after a visit! Lots of wildlife -rabbits, squirrels, birds, ducks, and more.

This beautiful garden is free (thank you community that is taking care of it). I was able to catch blooming season there and pictures don’t do justice to what you’ll see there . Visit if you’re in the area

This is an overlooked gem in Rainier View . A small but jewel-like park with a scrupulously maintained Japanese garden covering approximately 15 acres. While it looks small the artfully arranged paths allow one to walk through a series of small and large scenes and vignettes.
We visited on a sunny-ish day in the dead of winter yet because of the preponderance of evergreen plants there is no penalty for the season.
Parking is easy but the lot is not large though the few visitors made this a non issue.
This is a great place to visit, wander, sit and just enjoy a superb little park.

I'd love to have an afternoon walk if I have to choose one enjoying all the trees plants and zen mode , the garden is well maintained and lots of flowers and colors in all different seasons, you name it. It is really a hidden gem in Seattle. All kinds of maple trees and several ponds make you feel immersed in Japan .You can find peace and rejuvenation if you'd like to take a deep breath.

One of the prettiest parks I have been too & there are so many meandering walking paths - it's perfect for a long walk and having some quality conversations!! What I also loved that it's one of the few Japanese gardens that stays open till 8pm!! Perfect to chill after a long work day. This is also perfect for some photo-ops in any season - the tall pine trees, moonbridges, koi ponds and overall landscape make it seem picturesque & remote - whether it's spring, rain or show! Definitely recommend checking it out, next time you are looking to find some zen!

In terms of Japanese gardens, it's not that special. In terms of having it in your neighborhood, it's fantastic to have. Many come here to walk their dogs or have walking exercises. The 2 bridges, the bronze bell with the Garuda etchings are special.

Definitely go on a clear day cause the colors are will be much more vibrant. I saw some cute bunnies there also. But the restroom is awful, it’s clogged.
