We just got introduced to elements in puyallup and love it so glad to have a fro yo shop so close to…Read More home. We have really missed the custard place

I am an Elements addict - love love LOVE fro-yo with fresh fruit! I wasn't into the custard at all,…Read More I think I stopped there ONCE to try it and it just didn't appeal to me. With all the fro-yo craze going on right now - I am sure Menchie's will start off with a bang and it will be no time before more will learn to love the yummy creaminess, not to mention the fun of topping it all of however you like!!! Can't wait for the doors to open!

Very excited to have a new place to take my toddler in Bonney Lake!

We are VERY thankful for Vadis and the businesses that support their clients: Businesses such as…Read More Marshalls, for providing these opportunities in the community. Christy is 32 years old and her move into community life was difficult for her to adjust to. We were afraid she would end up sitting in a corner and not getting proper services she needed outside of the Morgan Center, where she resided for many years. Vadis provides the support Christy needs to be successful. She is so much happier in her new home & looks forward to going to work. Her exposure in the community is helping her grow in soooo many ways that were not previously available to her. Her family has had to learn more/new signs everyday to keep up with her growth. To all of the staff at Vadis, her co-workers, managers & bosses at Marshalls: Thank you, Thank you for taking the chance with our daughter. It takes a village! The belief that you can make a difference is what has made this part of Christy's journey a successful one! She and others like her couldn’t do it without you. And most of all…. GREAT JOB CHRISTY! We are proud of you!

Such a great and inspiring story. Way to go, Christy!

I wonder if the building could be used as the YMCA for Bonney Lake/Sumner? They would already have…Read More the land, structure, parking lot, and coffee bar set up. They could add the pool on to the back. Just a thought.

The kids at BLHS do all their practice on site at school, but it does lead to some good stuff.. one…Read More student told me he works at a Bonney Lake restaurant now and he thanks that to his experience in the culinary program.
When I worked for Seattle's Capitol Hill Blog, I did a story on the culinary program at Seattle Central Community College. They have a working kitchen where you can actually buy lunch and pastries that students make during class. It all looked and tasted like five-star restaurant food. They even have a bread-making program. Who doesn't like freshly baked bread?
It would be great to see something similar in Bonney Lake... I know I'd eat there!

Do they have a restaurant where they can learn to operate and run a business. I have been to some…Read More college culinary art restaurant, the food was delicious and the income helped subsidize the course and it offered the customers and great meal at a good price.

Russell, Kahale and the whole BLHS team were awesome, and the food was SO delicious! I might have to…Read More buy a ticket, and just enjoy the meal at the next Chef Dinner...

Thank you for that information, David. We hope to be in for a visit soon!

A new store opened up in the same location!! Gifts Unlimited is the name. They will offer a lot of…Read More the same stuff as the previous store. It will be operated by some of the same people who worked for Hallmark. Come out and support a new small business in Bonney Lake.

I like Kathleen's idea, maybe the Y could make use of the facility. What about a church.
Lauren Padgett (Editor) January 11, 2013 at 11:20 pm
That's a really great idea, Kathleen! That side of town could use a place to hang out. There isn't…Read More much over that way, unless you want to go to the Starbucks on Valley or to a restaurant.

I called Trader's Joes a few weeks ago on this idea of locating in Sumner and it was a large…Read More "no". They said it did not fit their plans. Another grocery store would not work because there is saturation of grocery stores now. A bowling alley is 5 minutes away at Daffodil Bowling in Puyallup....too much competition. My vote would be for the City and School District to partner on purchasing the location (or at least a City purchase) for a Community Center with a small theater that could be used for movie events OR rented for corporate uses. Rooms that could be multi-use and rented for meeting usage (the Library rooms are alwasy books). Then, I strongly suggest working with UW to have a satelitte space for classes...It's perfect as it is far to go to Tacoma or Seattle...Students and citizens could take extension classes, for example. If there is room, a pool or skating rink. Then (as a community center) plan a Farmer's Market in the parking lot on weekends. As a community center you could have yearly craft shows, rooms for classes on sewing/crafts. Etc, etc.

Having dined at Crockets a few times, we found the space could use some sound proofing. With such…Read More high ceilings, sound swirls around the dining-room making it difficult to have a conversation with those around you...without sharing with your neighbors. Worse still, we were seated next to the kitchen..just located over a little glass wall from our table. Every time an order was called into the back, we heard it. In fact, the entire place could hear it. But for us, this guy might have been seated right next to us. Nothing worse than hearing someone screaming and yelling every couple of minutes while trying to enjoy your meal and friends. When our meal came, we were disappointed by the presentation and amount of food served to my friend who ordered a burger. (An open faced burger served on a large platter....nothing else). No fries, no salad and no slaw. That was a spendy burger with not much to show for it. When our bill came, we were charged for the drinks ordered by the table next to us. We pointed this out and the waitress corrected the bill...but with no apology. When I called to speak to the manager, my concerns were ignored and no apology offered. We were there to celebrate my birthday....which ended up a not too happy occasion. Perhaps over time they have changed up their menu and improved upon their service. And, sometimes you get just once chance to impress someone. Had the manager tried to rectify or acknowledge my complaint, I might have given them a second chance.

The salad was pretty good. I think it would have tasted even better with less dressing. It was too…Read More much vinaigrette for me. But nice atmosphere and friendly service!

Loved the sloppy joe! It was spicier than I expected, which was a nice surprise. Plus, I watch Guy's…Read More show a lot, so I figured it was worth trying with his seal of approval on it. I'd order it again.
