I have been coming here since 2004. Used to have back and neck pain from software development work. The adjustments made me feel so much better. My back feels so relaxed! Even my sleep quality has improved. Heartily endorse Dr. Jeremy Meadows as among the best chiropractors around.
Pros: Excellent chiropractic adjustments
Cons: Limited hours, 80% Microsoft insurance coverage

Good: I had a great experience at Puget Sound Birth Center.
I had Heika and Traci as my midwives. Andrea was a practicing student. They were wonderful.
I originally went to see an OB. I started reading about natural birth and decided I wanted to go more natural, and requested a midwife at the hospital. Each time I went in for an appt, I'd see a different midwife, and it was frustrating not seeing the same person. I calculated, that by the time I'd be almost due, I'd see each of their midwives 2-3 times....

Dr. Skip....he is really great!
He saved my hamster twice.
And reception staff also really nice (I forgot his name...).
I think you can trust Dr. Skip.
He's very direct and very kind too.

I've been to the Sanctuary Spa for facials and pedicures. They offer many other services including massages and the typical offerings of spas, along with a yoga studio next door.
When you drive up and see it's in a strip mall, across from a movie theater, you may be concerned about the atmosphere. Wait til you get inside. You'll forget you're anywhere near civilization. I've never heard traffic or anything else going on in the rooms outside of mine.
You'll be ushered down a hallway along side a stream built into the floor. Accept the cucumber water, even if you're not thirsty. It's delicious. A room will be prepared for you with two fluffy white bathrobes so you can have the size you desire. There will be massage slippers and a basket to place your clothes and belongings into.
Next, you spend some time in one of the steam showers. There are two in each changing room, one with lights and painted brightly and one dark and painted black for that dark, steamy experience.
After you've steamed yourself, put on your robe and slippers and wait for your technician to come and get you.
Back out to the hall area for you foot bath/massage that is included with your facial.
Last year they offered the pumpkin facial which makes your skin amazingly soft and makes you look forward to thanksgiving. I went earlier this year and it wasn't available but it might be back as we get into November.
The technicians are discreet, leaving the room while you climb into the warm, soft bed. After the skin analysis, it's very quiet and relaxing.
After the facial, you proceed to your next service or out to the hallway where you get a warm plum drink. Again, take it. It's good.
Prices are comparable or slightly higher than some other spas but well worth it for some pampering.

My cat had been ill for several days and I took her to the Critter Doctor as a new patient. Sadly - and I hate to be depressing - but it turns out my cat had an abominal tumor and needed to be put down. This all happened in one day - today. :( The doctor was very caring and took lots of time to explain what was going on. The technician even made a memento of Kitty's pawprints for me to keep. Everybody was very kind and professional and made this difficult day better.

OK, so your 5 year old needs a humidifier because he's got a new cough, your 3 year old has a runny nose, and your 1 year old needs to have have her antibiotic refilled and you just happen to run out of diapers at the wrong time. You're in Kirkland and it's 2:30 in the morning, what do you do?
Walgreens to the rescue!
Yup, this is a one stop, 24-hour stop for all of the those things and if you didn't like to wait in the store for all those medications, you can go across the parking lot for groceries at the local Safeway (yes the map is a little off). Here, you can pick up cheap electronics, and some not-bad door crasher type sales. The cheap electronics are generally cheap in quality, not necessarily price.
Of course, the fine people at Safeway could tell you to go use their drug store, but as of this point I know that nationwide, I'm covered at Walgreens. At Safeway, I'm not sure if that's set up yet.
It wouldn't be fair if I was all upbeat about this place and give it only 3 stars. This place loses it's star at about one time of week. About 12pm - 9 pm Friday nights. It appears most of Kirkland gets sick about this time and requires presecription medicine. They do staff as best they can, but sometimes the drive up counter can get 4-5 cars deep at this time with 4-5 people at the check out stand in the pharmacy. Updating records when you get new insurance can be a pain as well when you have a family. Other than that? The wait times are pretty good ranging from 30mins-1 hour.
If you work nights like I do and are up at odd hours anyway, these two stores on each side of the parking lot, Safeway and Walgreens, are your fairly all-inclusive 24 hour Food & Drug stops in Kirkland.

Pros: Newly remodeled Safeway. Beside an experienced Great Clips and Liquor store. Good Deli, Bakery and China Express, Organic Foods store.
Cons: stockers aren't that experienced and sometimes can appear a little lost. 9am - 1 am is just silly for a Safeway.
Overview: Nearby Woodinville, Bothell and Kirkland, this Juanita Safeway does have quite a few things that are next to it. Other than the things mentioned above it is near a 7-11, Dairy Queen, Blockbusters, McDonald's (with play area... though it's awfully cold in the winter).
Inside, the Starbucks closes way too early at about 7 or 8 pm but the staff are about average in speed. Pastries offered primarily come from the in-store bakery as the ones offered from the main office tend to be a little... stale.
Carts are stored outside in a covered area, so those with children who are sensitive to such things, will probably appreciate a coat placed under them once they are in the store.
Overall? This Safeway seems to be like many newly remodeled ones in the area, nice amenities, with a staff that still needs seasoning. Only the hours and staff are drawbacks.
