The Creekside

I visited more than 10 communities in search of a good fit for my step-dad who needed more accommodations than he wanted to admit. Although The Creekside was my first choice, my step-dad was concerned about money so we chose a different location. After a short time in the other location, he realized that paying a bit more for a much better environment was worth it so he agreed to move to The Creekside where he enjoys the food and the people. The staff at The Creekside are exceptional; they go above and beyond to help their residents maintain their independence. Most communities have good staff that make sure needs are met but the staff at Creekside are truly committed to helping residents maintain their independence for as long as possible. I have never seen a better environment than that at The Creekside in Woodinville. I am grateful.

This is the best Sr Living in King County! Without a doubt! Super apartments include not only washer and dryer in unit, but also dishwasher, and fabulous dining! Did I forget to mention the friendliest people I have ever met?

When I made the decision to move into an independent living community, and after extensive research on the internet, my daughter and I visited The Creekside in mid-December 2024. We were very warmly welcomed by Marty Scoplitte, the Sales Director and then given an extensive tour by Mike Ulm, the Executive Director. It was an easy and relaxing tour that concluded with a very delicious lunch in the dining room. Mike answered our many numerous questions with ease, making us feel at home. As anyone can tell you that when considering a life-changing event such as I was doing it can be a monumental decision to make. After our visit, we discussed the Creekside and what we had seen and the people we met during the tour; not only the staff but residents as well. The thing that stood out most was Mike and his staff working that weekend. It was very obvious they truly enjoy their jobs and working at the Creekside. The residents we met along the way were very engaging and told us how happy they were living there. They mentioned the wonderful and healthy well-balanced meals served each day and the many activities available throughout the day/week. You can be kept as busy as you want to be. I officially moved into the Creekside on February 20 and am so thankful to have done so. Mike Ulm and his fantastic team were right there to help me get settled in. Moving from another state and downsizing can be a bit overwhelming but they helped make the transition easier for me. This is a staff always willing to help; one just has to ask. In the short time that I have lived here I’ve met many of the residents in my building and am now enjoying many new friendships. Everyone was happy to welcome a newcomer amongst them. Lots of camaraderie and laughter when we gather for meals or activities. The location of the Creekside to the Woodinville Town Center is a real bonus. The Creekside deserves 10 stars because of its totally amazing staff under the helm of Mike Ulm. If someone reading this has a parent who is considering a move into independent living you really need to check out the Creekside. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed. Oh, and did I mention that the minute my daughter and I entered the lobby of the Creekside it felt like home! And it truly has become my home and I’m hoping to enjoy many more good years to come.

It is wonderful to live in this community. There are many new friends for conversation, play cards or games, share meals, activities and special events. It is also delightful to have your apartment cleaned weekly. The sheets are changed and returned freshly laundered. My room smells so clean afterward. Meals are prepared and served either in the dining room or, if needed, delivered to your room. I love the fresh flowers on the dining room tables, the choice of daily activities, fun or interesting trips and instructor led exercise. Perhaps the feature of my room I am most grateful for is a washer and dryer. The staff is exceptional. They all try to learn our names.
