Mark Bass, the director of instruction at Willows Run Golf Academy in Redmond, is a great golf instructor.
It is worth noting that in all sports, a great athlete does not make a great teacher. You could have Tiger Woods himself come in to teach you, but I doubt that he would be a better golf teacher than David Leadbetter, for example.
With this point in mind, I would like to say that Mark Bass is a great golf instructor. He completely reoriented my golf swing around body weight transfer rather than arm power. He also straightened out my swing plane, which helped my accuracy tremendously, especially on the short irons.
What makes him a great teacher is that he has that unique ability to look at your swing and tell you what you're doing wrong, and what you need to work on to improve it. He also covers course strategy in his instruction, including what type of shot to play when, and course management skills.
If you are at all interested to pick up golf, or lower your handicap if you already play, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mark as an instructor.

I took my son to see "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" at the Sprouts Theatre several months ago to get him some culture! I told him we were going to see "Snow White" and he kept thinking we were going to watch TV. Well, this theatre is pretty cool because if the kids want they can sit on the floor in front of the stage. He sat with the other kids at first but then decided to sit with me. They had both adults and children in the cast. The production was great (although there was a scary part where some of the kids cried). Another great thing about it is that you get to meet the cast after the show. My son got a photo op with Snow White.

Nice place to catch a movie. Good location. Friendly managers and staff. They take credit cards which is nice. They have a nice selection of candy and food. Pretty clean considering how many people come through on a weekend. Police on duty on the weekends so you feel safe there. Close to restaurants and shopping

Willows Run Golf Club has a 18 hole putting course on the edge of the course. It is a fun place for the family to play a little miniature golf. The setting is of rocks and streams and even a "bear" in a cave.
The course is challenging enough for the adults, but fun for the kids.
The prices are average, but if you get there early, the prices are lower. They have lunch boxes or pizza available for an additional charge.

Pacific Music is a small music store in downtown Redmond. The offer musical instruments of all kinds from student instruments like trumpets and flutes, to high end drum sets and guitars. The store itself is small; much of the space is set aside for booths used for music lessons. They rent instruments as well as offer instruction. The store carries a wide selection of music, and they are always willing to help track down a particular piece you might be looking for. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is great- very patient with those of us who don’t know a whole lot about the particulars of the instrument or exactly what we are looking for.

In a nutshell: very expensive and so-so service. Save yourself time and money and go to Ben Franklin in Redmond. If you want the details, read on:
I went to this store following a 4 stars review of their Woodinville store on Judy's book.
My first impression was good, the designer made great suggestions and put together the elements for framing the 3 small paintings i had brought. It did take quite a while and after almost an hour, i was ready to move on.
The first bad surprise was the price. Over $1,000 for 3 relatively small pieces (e.g. 35 inches square). The framing elements did not seem that special. Having invested an hour of my time, I convinced myself that "you get what you pay for". So i tried to hide my grimace behind a forced smile and told the employee to hit my credit card.
The second bad surprise is when i came back 10 days later to pick up the framed paintings. The first one had a chip in one corner. The second one had a bulge on the front of the frame, visibly from a nail pushing under the surface of the frame. The third one had a smaller problem: the corners of the inner frame (the fillet as it's called) did not meet very well and there was a gap of 2-3 mm.
When i expressed my disappointment, the employee tried to downplay the problems. She explained that it is hard to make things perfect and that after a little while you dont see these tiny defects any more, etc... She patched the chipped corner with some kind of black putty and tried to send me home, suggesting that the flaws would not be visible in normal light. I had to insist to get all 3 corrected.
The good thing about MQF is they advertise a total satisfaction guarantee. So she did take the 3 pieces back and they eventually fixed them.
The next day the store manager called me and apologized. However i had to wait for 2 more weeks before the frames were redone.
All in all, i found that the service is not worth the high price, except maybe for larger expensive pieces. I will not use them again.
