Fantastic all day experience!
We took the Mosquito Fleet whale watching a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The cruise was well thought out and respectful to the animals. It was a perfect full day adventure.

We took the Mosquito Fleet whale watching a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. The cruise was well thought out and respectful to the animals. It was a perfect full day adventure.
The ship leaves from the Everett dock very early in the morning (the only thing we didn't like!) and sets off for a three hour cruise to the area off the San Juans where the orcas usually are.
The Mosquito Fleet has a naturalist on board who explains a lot about the whales and the Puget Sound area. I liked how they handled the trip out because they made plenty of stops to point out wild life and told a little bit about the islands in the area.
The whale viewing was great. They gave us plenty of time to see the whales and didn't encroach on their environment.
After watching the whales, the boat stopped in Friday Harbor for a couple of hours so we could get lunch, stretch our legs and shop a bit.
Afterwards it was straight back pretty much at full speed, which was fine with us because the cruise time makes for a long day.
All in all we had a great time! If you're in Seattle/Everett and want to see the whales, this is the most convenient way to do it.

My wife took our new car here to get its first oil change and we definitely regret it. I've never had a bad experience at a Jiffy Lube before but these guys just don't know how to get basic stuff done right. After my wife got the oil changed, we noticed a leak on the garage floor. We took it back, and discovered they never put the cap back on the oil tank! Even after that, we still had a small leak for quite a while. Hopefully they did not do any damage but I say avoid this place at all costs.

My wife and I took an Argosy dinner cruise with our company about a month ago. Generally we had a good time. The cruise provided wonderful views of Seattle, especially at night, and took us through several little island nooks that were fun to cruise by.
I'd say the food was above average for a dinner cruise - a reasonable selection and pretty well prepared. The desserts were quite good.
There were two things I didn't like about the cruise. First and foremost, the band had a very louge act kind of feel and was not much fun to listen to. They should have been playing jazz, not more contemporary fare that doesn't exactly suit people having dinner conversation. Second, there was way too much upselling on the cruise. There were so many rules about what was included and what was extra it got annoying.
Overall we had a good time but once was enough, at least for this particular cruise.
