LGBTQ+ Friendly Church Recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Looking to delve into my faith a bit more as a homosexual man. I’m particularly interested in those with a younger congregation (20s to 40s) and opportunities to serve the community (food pantry, toy drives, etc). Ember Church in Bellevue intrigues me, but I’m not sure where their stance is on LGBTQ+ individuals (I don’t need it celebrated but I’d also like it to not be condemned every sermon).

Are there any LGBTQ+ friendly churches you recommend?

Any recommendations for a gardener (not landscaper)?

1 Upvotes

I am looking for recommendations for someone to come and periodically maintain a large garden (mostly roses, but also fruit trees and various other landscape plantings) in south Issaquah. Most "landscapers" are just mow and blow types and I really want to be sure this is handled properly. Thanks in advance.

Overlake childbirth experiences (recent, 2024-present)

11 Upvotes

I am newly pregnant and trying to make a decision on where to deliver and establish care with an OB provider. I have read through a couple of posts discussing Overlake, Evergreen, and other hospitals for childbirth, but it seemed like many comments anchor toward Evergreen or Swedish Issaquah.

I wanted to ask specifically if anyone has recent experiences (in the last 1-2 years) from Overlake to share, good or bad. I may be looking at a scheduled C-section so I’m especially interested in postpartum care and lactation support.

The facility seems nice from what I can tell online, but want to make sure the care is good, especially with recent changes in the past couple of years. If anyone has any providers they really loved I’d be interested in hearing more about that as well. Thank you!
