    "there are several Parks in the neighborhood and plenty of trails to walk. It's a very quiet neighborhood with a neighborhood watch looking out for fellow neighbors. Police patrol the neighborhood from time to time to ensure the neighborhood stays quiet. "

    "Commute to 405 isn’t terrible but it has definitely become more congested over the years. New developments are popping up everywhere. "

    "My Commute from Monday-Friday average about 40-45minutes. Same thing with coming home after 5pm. After that commute varies and anywhere you want to go expect at least 30min."

    "I've lived in this neighbourhood for 2 years. I like that I'm close to a lot of things (e.g. Shakey's, IKEA, grocery stores, highways). The public transit can be better though. I wish there's a train going through Renton."

    "It's not too small of a community to not know the residents personally, have everything needed in a small mile radius and yet, for most, not so large that one might feel confined or stressed by over population. Houses are not right on top of one another, yards not too small and nature is still plentiful. Thankfully, it's not the city."

    "I've lived in Woodside for a few years and love all of the safe walking paths, the friendly, caring neighbors, retention pond areas, the trails through the large wooded areas, and the frequent visits from birds, bunnies, salamanders, and the group of 4-5 deer that seem to visit every day! The neighborhood connects with Fairwood, so visits from golf carts happen! I'd love to see a PCC, Whole Foods or Trader Joes, but nearby Safeway is ok and Fred Meyer is better, though about 10 minutes away. Starbucks is close enough in the Fairwood shopping area too!"
