Review №1

I rented the Seahurst room for my wedding reception. The pros were that it was a beautiful space and it was very affordable. Also, there was good communication with the staff prior to the event. The cons were from the day of the wedding. When we arrived to set up, the staff talked with my mom to provide clean up instructions. I wish that they could have provided that before the day of the wedding, but that isnt what was bothersome. After explaining the clean-up details, the staff hovered continuously for the entire event. I (the bride) was literally running to try to get everything set up in time. I was then told by staff that I needed to monitor all the people coming in and out of the building since technically they were closed that day. My ceremony was at the park next to the community center, so guests were coming in and out of the building before everything started to use the bathroom, help set up, etc. And when I seemed shocked that they wanted the bride to do this, the response was of annoyance. The staff member said in a very rude tone well you seemed stressed so we will just have to talk later. Then there was a staff change. The new staff wanted to go through the clean up information again and it wasnt enough that we had already done this with prior staff. They also wanted to meet the people who would be doing the actual clean-up. We hired people to come in at the end of the night to clean, so those people werent there. Again, the staff was rude and annoyed. None of these items were addressed before the wedding day and I had no idea that it was going to be such a headache. I assumed that we would show up, be let in, get a check list of cleaning items, and that would be it. After all, I already paid a deposit and signed off on my responsibility to return the room to the condition I found it. They also wanted to discuss all the rules for the night (no hard alcohol, time we needed to end, etc) that I had already gone over and signed before the wedding. I knew these rules and didnt need to spend time on my wedding day being reminded. I signed off on all these items. My family and guests were all commenting on how rude and overbearing the staff was. It was a lot of unnecessary added stress to my wedding day.

My mother takes a fall prevention class at the community center and the staff is always very friendly. Its always nice to get a warm greeting from them when we arrive.

A friendly staff and a wildly wide range of classes and activities. This center is a real boon for Burien residents and others who visit.

Transform Burien is located here, they have a lunch every day when schools out so poor kids can eat something healthy. Not just kids, all are welcome, and theres a foodbank and clothes bank too but Im not sure of the hours all this operates, visit their website for that!
