If what you're looking for in meeting space is someplace clean, pleasant, and functional, Mercer Island Community Center may be just the ticket. Although it can feel utilitarian in some respects, the building is brand new and very pleasantly modern feeling with clean lines. While generally simple in nature, the furnishings are all new as well and the available amenities include wi-fi in addition to state-of-the-art audio and video capabilities.
Meeting attendees in this space have almost universally been favorably impressed with how comfortable and functional it is. Situated on Mercer Island just off of I-90, it is readily accessible and is as easy to reach from the Eastside as it is from Seattle. Many will also appreciate the pleasant view enjoyed from the meeting rooms of the East Channel of Lake Washington. If the weather is sufficiently cooperative, one of the larger rooms available even has a roll-up garage-style window that effectively opens up one whole wall to the outdoors.
Having rented space here several times now, I have found it to be one of the best available sites in the region from the standpoint of optimizing location, functionality, enjoyable surroundings and reasonable cost. The staffmembers have always been incredibly helpful in ensuring I have everything I need and that it's all set up the way I want too. Depending on your needs, it's certainly worth checking out.

I remember my days at sunnybeam school fondly, but those were years and years ago when I was a 3 year old. Sunnybeam was just up the hill from where I lived and I loved going to preschool, playing with all the kids, the big scruffy shaggy dogs that the school had. I remember drooling all over myself during naptimes. I would definately have my daughter go to preschool there if I lived on the island. Would recommend it to anybody with kids on the island

Every time I've visited I Love Pho, I have had a great experience. The Pho Bo ( I think that's how you spell it ) or beef pho is great. The short ribs are the go-to item on the menu in my opinion. I would stay away from the curry as I found it rather bland. Overall, I enjoy this restaurant, would recommend it, and visit it again.

The mercer island vet clinic provides great vet care for our yellow lab. All of the Vet's are very knowledgable and have never missed diagnosed any of his ailments. They just moved into a new and improved office space. The vets always answer any of our questions that we have for them. Even if they probably think the questions are kind of weird, for instance, my sister asked what the vet thought about the chance of mad cow disease in pet food.

I took my daughter to get a haircut at this new place on Mercer Island. I wasn't expecting what a neat experience it would be. She was totally amazed at the TVs hiding behind the mirrors and the wall that changed color. They had ispy tables and lots of good distractions. It is clean and totally made for kids.
She got a great cut from our Stylist, Melissa and even got a braid and some glitter hair spray too! She thought she was a princess!
The topper was at the end when she pushed a button on the prize machine and it told her what a pretty hair cut she had and gave her a prize.
I totally recommend this place - she was asking to come back before we even left.

...near the mountains. The best bachelor party I ever attended was up in whistler for a weekend. Given that you only have $50/person and one day (presumeably), why not hire a big van/small bus, truck everyone out to Alpental or Snoqualmie to ski for the afternoon/evening (i think lift tickets are reduced price if you start skiing after 3 p.m.), truck everyone back to the city and head straight to Pioneer Square for burgers and beers at the J&M Card Room and finish up the night at the just-tasteless-enough Cowgirls Inc? There's nothing cooler than rolling in to Pio bars in an old-school ski bib. If I had to plan a buddy's bachelor party in Seattle on short notice with a modest budget during the winter, that's the direction I'd go. Good luck.

There's a hidden secret on Mercer Island called the Roanoke Inn.
Once an Inn for ferry riders crossing Lake Washington from Leschi to the island, the Roanoke has been in continuous operation since 1914...and feels like it.
Reminds me of some of the inns and roadhouses I discovered while living in upstate Mass.
Food is typical tavern fare...maybe a notch or two higher on the preparation scale. Not cheap but reasonable, with enough variety to satisfy a range of dietary preferences.
A great place to meet friends after work...especially during the summer, when there's ample outdoor seating on the open front porch, the side patio and the back yard.
It's a must visit for anyone who has missed out on this little gem of a historical road house.

My son recently started taking Karate classes a Mercer Island Martial Arts. The instruction is out of this world. Within a week he has started doing his chores at home without being asked and his teacher reports that he has been more focused in his classes. I would highly recommend to any one who has kids to go and check out this school.
