Is this complex a joke? I will attempt to be positive and say that the office ladies are friendly. Anyway, we lived here for nearly two years and none of it has been pleasant. Parking is terrible. My roommate parked in a faded (nearly unrecognizable) handicap spot for a few hours until a spot opened up. They towed him. Then when someone parks in your spot you paid for, no consequences, you just lose your spot. We have had to park down by the office far away from our place one week after move in, then wake up to find our car got broken into and radio was stolen. Security and the office didn't seem to care. If you don't move your car after 3 days, they will slap a giant sticker on your window that's impossible to remove causing a blind spot while driving to work. My stove was falling apart and didn't even come with drip pans under the burners, wires exposed and all. It had huge dents and the oven doesnt keep temperature. I reported the oven, they came out to look at it, and said it just needed drip pans which they would install. They never installed them. A few of my cabinets came with liners, most of them came with mold. The property smells like cigarettes, and they will mow outside your unit during early hours of the morning. The black mold is intense. Also, we went to use the tanning bed for the first time, and it happened to be broken and under repair, months later they finally closed it down completely after never fixing it. They don't maintain the gym at all, the treadmill was broken for months, and there's usually no sanitizing wipes for your machine. Don't bother paying the sure deposit, they will charge you the full deposit any way at move out. Approximately $503, for painting, cleaning, and fees they pulled out of their asses. My favorite was the $1.95 "final moveout fee". The carpet was stained when we moved in, and we got billed for it! Thanks Artesia! Glad to be done with you!

My wife and I have taken the fused glass and pottery bowl class and could not be more pleased. Just the right amount of instruction and freedom to work in each medium comfortably. The studio has everything imaginable for the courses and the the instructor was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and patient. Highly recommend this for not just individuals but families and groups of friends looking to make memories together.

lived there for 4 years

Great place to live. Office staff is friendly and always helpful. Every time I bring my dog in the office she gets a treat from the staff. New management took over a few months ago and it has been nothing but improvements since.

This is a great place to get some artistic talents out of you. My four daughters were thrilled to do the glazing and glass fusion projects. Very professional staff and enough tools, material and guidance are provided. I ended up participating with a little glass fusion project myself. Very relaxing!

We came for a 90 min class it was so well thought and organized. I honestly wasn't attracted to leaving with anything today as it was my first time doing Pottery but Jay made it so easy that I stayed after and painted my creation. Can't wait to see how it looks!! Thanks Jay! Highly recommend 👌

We had an amazing experience! We choose this class as one of our wedding anniversary and we were glad we did. The teacher provided relaxing music and all the materials we needed for the class. He did a great job explaining everything and we got a precious bowl to remember our fun experience. Definitely will try it again in the near future.

I lived in Artesia by the Lake Apartments for 2 years; in total I paid around 45k in rent and expenses during this time. The security in this apartment complex was absolutely horrible; my motorcycle was almost stolen on 2 separate occasions. The thief damaged my ignition trying to steal my motorcycle, rendering it very difficult to start. In addition, my son’s bicycle was stolen twice. There are homeless and unsavory people walking outside the apartments at night; on multiple occasions I would have to go outside to "The Cove" to ask people who were camping out there to leave. I alerted management each time an incident occured, but there was no change in monitoring. iIn short, I am beyond disappointed with the poor management from this place and the lack of sympathy and compassion towards residents. The way that Thrive handled the COVID-19 pandemic was very poor. There was never an offer to help the residents in any way. For instance, my main kitchen light was out for several months; I was unable to change this myself because the lighting fixture used can only be exchanged by maintenance. I was forced to cook in dim lighting for months, and with an 8 year old child, at times this felt very unsafe. The apartment needed maintenance throughout the pandemic, and this work was not completed until about a month before I moved out (October). The facilities and amenities were closed for almost the whole year since February, which I understand because it was a state law to close down gyms and pools. My point is that I understand that no one was prepared for COVID-19, but management never offered any financial relief to its residents, such as decreasing rent by a couple hundred dollars due to the fact that maintenance was unavailable and the amenities unusable. I finally moved out this November. I was already expecting for management to keep my deposit for damages, which is fine and reasonable. However, I am being charged $350 more because my deposit did not cover everything. The right thing to do would be to waive that amount because of all the lack of maintenance and facilities closed for the whole year. In addition, I was told by management to leave the apartment on 11/01 before 5 pm. I did this as requested, and yet am being charged $58 for "a day's rent" although this was the date specifically told to me by management. Artesia by the Lake will squeeze every penny from you. I will pay the final amount, but I hope by reading this it will prevent other people from living here. Please don’t reply asking me to call you guys. I have called the office to express my concerns many times and all they reply is the same as always. I understand but never listen to you. They will never work with you, it's their way only.

Management staff consistently provides exemplary customer service and attention to detail. Each time I visit the office is truly a treat as I am always greeted with a friendly welcome and smiles all around. I have lived at Artesia for awhile and I can confidently say that it is by far the best multifamily living experience I have ever had. The management staff appear organized, knowledgeable, and experts in their field. A notable example is the new maintenance supervisor. He is friendly, wise, and a true asset to the community. It is impossible not to notice the cleanliness and high quality of the facilities since he started. He always addresses my maintenance questions and although I have never put in a maintenance request, I am certain he would respond quickly and effectively. He also hosted a really fun origami night! What a talented individual! Thank you Thrive and Artesia staff for providing an exceptional living experience not only to me, but the community at large.

This studio is so fun! Jay is helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. The intro the ceramics class was a great date night choice. We had so much fun. The studio is clean and well kept and shows great pride of ownership. We look forward to finding opportunities to return!

This experience was amazing! We were treated to this activity from our Tupperware Director and I'm so glad she introduced us to glass fusing!! Who knew cutting and piecing together glass could be so relaxing and fun!! I definitely would love to find a place like this back home to take my friends and family to! Thanks for this experience! It was wonderful!

After 2 years of living here, my opinion of this place has changed a lot... Homeless people literally sleep outside your door and the security this complex pays for doesn't dispatch after 5 am. The amount of homeless has increased within the 2 years I've lived here. When we moved here, they enforced a doggie defecation system, now that system's gone, and with it comes all these "loving pet owners" who don't clean up. If I had to choose an apartment complex again, I would have most definitely chosen an apartment complex that is miles from any highway or main road. That I believe is the only buffer against the mob of homeless that destroy your vehicles, steal anything worth value, sleep/urinate outside your door, leaving needles on the ground, all the while paying for a security system that quits at 5 am. So unless this complex magically starts increasing security, I wouldn't stay at any complex around Everett whose definition of security is "I'm done at 5 am". I don't feel safe around here with my fiancee being stalked by random homeless dudes. Maybe if you're into that "wild wild west" lifestyle and don't find coffee to be accommodating enough at providing that morning jolt, then by all means, move into this complex where the homeless sleep, lurk, shoot up, piss, and charge there phones outside your door!!! It happens often to be honest, investing in an outdoor camera has resulted in my absolute disgust with this area. The maintenance workers were honestly the best part of this rental. They are all friendly, kind, and honestly care about the messed up situations that occur on this property.

Artesia is a very welcoming apartment complex with a great location! Right next to Costco, with an indoor pool, dog park, gym, and a kids park. The apartments themselves are well put together and have a decent amount of space, but by far the best part about artesia is their office staff, always willing to help and have a smile on their faces to welcome you in for whatever you need. Would highly recommend at the very least dropping by and checking it out. I have been very satisfied with my place and I’m sure I will continue to be!

I love Artesia!! It has such beautiful views of Silver Lake!! The new renovation is breathtaking❤

A really therapeutic experience! Signed up last night and enjoyed the experience! I’ve unleashed a hidden creativity talent in me. Karyn was so welcoming and took me through the process efficiently and professionally! Definitely signing up for more and definitely recommend

I have lived here at artesia for about one year. The staff here is incredible and always has a smile on their faces! They've always been helpful for any issues I might have and always made sure I was happy with my experience here. The apartments are remodeled and are wonderful to live in! The parking here is awesome and there is always a spot to park in. I personally have a carport and with two cars, I've never had an issue finding a spot. I've lived at many different properties and this one is hands down the best there is! You will absolutely love it here!

The maintenance staff showed up right away when my bathroom fan started acting up. Glad to know we have such great staff keeping things running so well around here 😊

The maintenance crew is top notch!Shane and Justin set the bar high for taking care of issues and at the same time creating a friendly atmosphere.!I would recommend this apartment complex solely on the friendliness and competency of the maintenance crew!!5 stars!!

Had a concern regarding the dog park. Got an immediate email response from the office that repairs needed to gate are being investigated.

Very helpful staff. New staff was not aware of all details but was quick to get answers and get back to me.

Good apartments, but be careful inviting friends over at night or just don't have friends come over at all they will tow their car If it's there after hours. Not very reasonable with giving warnings

Office workers were very friendly and makes an effort to know me. Neighbors are great, amenities are wonderful. Very understanding. Couldn't recommend it more.

Cherie and Mikki helped us to get approved and moved in on the same day! They were very welcoming, and helped make it a pleasant and smooth transition for us. Shane was also fantastic. He took care of our maintenance requests right away!

We needed some support bars installed in the bathroom. When I mentioned it to Mikki she was very excited to get things started. She immediately wrote a request for the installation and coordinated the date and time with Shane. He was very prompt with the time and during the installation he made sure everything was square, level and plumb. He discovered the faucet for the shower wasn't working properly and fixed it on the spot. We have been very pleased with every aspect of living here at Artesia and very happy to have Mikki and Shane available to us.They are always so helpful! Thank you! Gary Wing

Amenities seem awesome and the apartments are nice. The whole place is kept up well. The backyards on some units is very cool. The office staff is also really nice.

After spending quite a bit of time trying to find a nice place to call home, we feel we have hit the jackpot! The location is right across from Silver Lake which is beautiful! The property is newly renovated, very well maintained and all of the staff sincerely care about keeping the high standards of cleanliness, organization and care for the residents intact. The neighbors all seem quite kind and everyone seems to just enjoy living here as much as we do!

The maintenance man was AMAZING! He came in and troubleshot the problem and fixed it promptly. We are pleased with his service and give him a solid 10/10. BUY HIM A SANDWICH WITH EXTRA MEAT!

I've lived here for 2 years. I don't normally post reviews, but I just have to with this complex. It's amazing! I have to give 5 stars for the staff! Mikki and Cherie are sooo accommodating! They are above and beyond what you'd expect. So wonderful! Thank you for all you do! Hector and Shane (Maintenance) are equally amazing! I am so happy I chose Artesia to call my home! 😃

The new update apartments are wonderful. The office staff is super nice. We move in soon and can't wait. We are in love already!!!!

Beautiful studio! The staff is very professional! I have attended quite a few classes here - pottery fun, playing with clay, glass breaking & fusing. Always had a great time here! ☺️ My pottery attempt went haywire but the class was fun 😁

Had a great time with our first clay sculpting class. Jay was friendly and helpful, definitely a good first time instructor for the art of pottery and clay working. He is a big advocate of having you take control of your own artwork; he’s available if you need help but let’s you act with your own artistic magic during the session. Definitely enjoyed our time, looking forward to another opportunity to visit and learn a different technique and/or art style :) Thank you for the great experience!

Wonderful experience. Took my 14 year old daughter. The instructor was great and made sure to show us what to do so we could be successful in making a nice piece. Didn't feel rushed and would definitely go back.

My bestie surprised me with a 90 min pottery class taught by Angela. We got to make a bowl from a lump of clay! It was super fun! The instructor was excellent! She made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. Aprons are provided but the clay did wash out of my clothes (I’m a bit messy). Part instruction is through video and also hands on. We formed our bowls, dried them, and then did glaze painting. I believe it was an extra $30/piece for painting them but I could be wrong. I’m not sure how much the class costs since it was a gift from my friend. I would definitely love to do this again and I can’t wait to see my finished creation. We made the drive up from Puyallup and it was fun! Angela made the experience even better. She is patient and kind. She would be great with kids I would think. Thank you Angela! I hope you get to read this and get a raise too! You deserve it! ☺️ The studio has 2 large bathrooms and there is plenty of parking. Check the official website or Groupon for deals.

My wife and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary by learning pottery for the first time. Jay, the owner, was our instructor. He was an awesome teacher! Very kind, concise, and he doesn’t micromanage. Very fun class, highly recommend!

Found this place on Groupon, however they have the same deals on their own website. It was so relaxing and fun to do the glass fusion class. Definitely will go back for the pottery class

I found FEELartistic Studio online while looking for a stained glass class. A friend joined me and we both took the introductory course. Jay walked us through each step and was readily available any time we had any questions. It was so much fun and honestly pretty therapeutic! We were able to complete each of our own unique pieces and take it home with us. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back soon for their Holiday designs and additional classes!

Took the beginners pottery course and had a great time! They provide all the tools needed so just show up with clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. Our instructor, Karen, was very helpful. Kind of a big class so you had to wait a bit if you had a question. They use a recorded video to help explain the steps. Everyone’s piece looked so different even though we all started with the same piece of clay - how cool! :) Option to have your finished product shipped to you or you’ll receive a text when it’s ready for pick up in ~2 weeks. So excited to see my finished product! Worth the experience as they often run specials online. They have quite a few different classes - not just pottery. Would love to go back and book studio time or take friends here!

I did the stained art class with my sisters. We really enjoyed it! The pace of instruction was great, and our instructor was willing to help as much as we needed. The price of the class with the coupon code made it accessible, we wouldn’t have signed up at the full list price. Loved learning something new!

This place is really fun! I had never done stained glass but our instructor was very clear and made it easy! There are so many great art pieces to admire inside also! Come check this place out!

This was so much fun! My fiancé surprised me with an intro to pottery class for my birthday and it was even better than I anticipated. Our instructor (I believe his name was Greg) was wonderful, the perfect amount of hands on help and knowing when to leave us to our devices. He really helped keep the atmosphere fun and relaxed. Instruction was very easy to follow and even my fiancé, who isn’t very artistically inclined, thoroughly enjoyed himself. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!

My mom and I had a great time doing the “make it and break it” glass class today! Our instructor Jay was wonderful! We will definitely be coming back for more classes in the future! We loved that the studio had so many different things to offer! I would highly recommend this for family time or a date night.

One of the best family time we ever spent on my 2 kid's birthdays, just us family. The studio practices safe social distancing, masks at all times, and you know it other clients give you space. It's great place to bring your whole family at this studio. It will lower your stress level, calm your family down, interesting, great birthday outing for family, fun, design something, play with it, and let it bake, and then take it home for memory, you made it, share your story, what inspired you, you cherish it for life, take some photos inside the studio, they have great teachers, make you feel welcome. I took my family one Saturday last Dec 2020 for Glass Infusion. I think I had more fun than my kids. See raw photos of pre-infused art. We each made something from heart. If you want to know how it turned out when it's infused, then you give it a try, take your family for a session, and see the result of your artistic mind. We loved it, and were very impressed of the results, and now planning to book a family session on Pottery. Thank You all.

I enjoyed the experience so much that I signed up for another class! Great intuitive class by Karyn. She was also helpful by going around the room and teaching us 1:1. Thank you!!

My partner and I decided to take a beginner pottery class for our anniversary since it’s something we’ve been wanting to do for a while. We stumbled upon this studio with a quick Yelp search and I’m REALLY glad we found this place! Our instructor, Jay, was hands on and clearly explained the process step by step. He was knowledgeable and passionate about working with clay and sharing that experience with others. This studio is very welcoming and friendly. The prices were also really reasonable compared to other studios I’ve researched. We will definitely be coming back here for some studio time in the future.

First pottery class with friends turned out fun and interesting here! Definitely will go there again!

Girlfriend and I came in for the first time to do pottery. Instructor was patient and and informative. The studio was nice and ther was a ton of tools and equipment available. We will be back!

Awesome 90 minute pottery session . So glad we came up from seattle . Perfect date night, staff is awesome as well.

I had fun at the "break it and make it" glass fusion class today with my daughter. I reserved a spot earlier this week via their website. The studio is neat & tidy with plenty of finished works as well as works in progress; pottery, glass fusion, painting, and sketch art. Light jazz was playing in the background. The studio's ambiance will help get the creative juices flowing. The instructor, Jay, greeted us and was brief and precise. Soon we were on our own to make our masterpieces with their materials and tools. I can't wait to return in a couple weeks and get our finished work after it gets "cooked." I'll be going back for another class when I find time.

This was my first time ever taking a pottery class and I had such a good time. The studio was very clean and organized, and it was easy to stay socially distanced throughout the entire class. Jay was a great instructor and could easily walk you through things if you felt stuck. I will definitely be going here again.

Teaching for pottery was great. Karen explained everything step by step and we had lot of fun in group.

Karen did a great job for teaching step by step it was fun learning would definitely come to learn more

We came for the pottery bowl class and it was a blast. I would highly recommend to any me looking for a fun activity to try or a new hobby

We had so much fun making bowls for our first time! The class was fun, well organized, and we learned a ton. Thank you!

Had a great time with my family! Instructor was very friendly and helpful and I am excited to see the final product out of the kiln!

Absolute waste of $$. We were played videos & told to follow along for making pottery. We payed 70$/head and even had to clean our station. Jay forcibly asked for ratings trading 2 poorly kids made potteries. Please DO NOT choose this place.

Great fun! Also very Covid friendly with masks and distancing.

Came with my 11 year old and we both had a great time. Lots of info & techniques to learn but teacher had great patience and helped whenever needed. Glad we did it!

This studio is awesome! We got great technical instruction from Karyn with plenty of room for creativity, and had an overall lovely time.

Fun mother/daughter experience. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. We will be back again!

Excellent teacher. Was simple and very fun!! Very clean studio too.

Such a great experience making pottery at FEELartistic! Jay was very calm & professional educating us! It was fun working with Jay! Will definitely visit the place again.

Had so much fun making bowls and glazing them. Highly recommend this place for hanging with friends.

Had a great experience for my first pottery class! Very fun and helpful, can't wait to get my bowl bisqued and glazed when it's ready!!

My sister and I ended up being the only two in the class! It was a fun activity to do after work and was something different. They used a video to help instruct us which I didn’t love, but overall we had a good time.

What an incredible little studio! So far the few times that I have gone have been fun and a peaceful experience. I have been so excited to pro my skills in making ceramics, and this place has helped me with that a lot. I am so grateful I found a studio with a kind staff and awesome art supplies.

Jai was a very good teacher, very patient, friendly, and funny. Very small class sizes, so no Covid worries. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for an intro to throwing a pot with no experience. If you live in Everett/Mill Creek area, fun way to spend less than 2 hours close to home on any night of the week.

THIS WAS AWESOME. Karen was fantastic. This was my very first time doing pottery and it was an absolute blast. You don’t have to have any experience at all! I’ll be back for sure!

I would definitely would recommend glass making because, they have great quality and it’s so much fun create glass pieces!

Came for a family activity night and had a blast! Jay was great at explaining the process and helping along the way! During these tough times it was fun to be creative and create memories! Highly recommend

This class was wonderful! The studio space was clean, organized, relaxing and inviting. I love how the class was set up and the instructor was great at catering to everybody’s skill level. I can’t wait to go back for some open studio time!!!

Great experience, my first time. Easy to follow instructions, help given as needed. Therapeutic really, and they have independent studio time! Nice way to be creative and use your hands.

My friends and I had a blast! Jay is very friendly and a great teacher. I would definitely go back.

Awesome experience! Karyn is the sweetest! 10/10 recommend.

Had so much fun! The teacher (Karen) was so patient and fun to work with! Now I have a cute little bowl will certainly be back again!

I had a beginner pottery class at feelartistic studio. The experience was great! I got to make a food bowl for my dog and color it with my favorite colors! The lesson is easy to follow and the instructor here is very friendly and helpful.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Create beautiful pieces in a welcoming and creative space with the help of their talented staff. Our experience was memorable and so much fun!

Fun time and opportunity to try something new! Don’t be discouraged if you aren’t a natural ;) Come check it out!

Such a fun experience especially as a beginner to working with the wheel!! Bring your friends and family!

So much fun! The instructor was very nice and very informative. I can't wait to do the class again 😀

Karyn was a fantastic instructor! She was very knowledgeable and used video examples to help us understand each step. As this was my first time using a pottery wheel her patience and individual help was much appreciated.

Great relaxing afternoon. Jay was very patient and helpful. Would recommend

This was a fun and relaxing time. A great place to go on a date. I had alot of fun making my bowl.

I can't say enough about these apartments and the management. I just renewed my lease enthusiastically! I love living literally across the street from the lake and my pup loves it here, too! The office and maintenance staff are exemplary and always responsive with requests. When it snowed, they proactively salted and cleared the parking lots, before during and after. The resident events are fun and have included origami night, an espresso truck, door decorating contest and movie night! I love all the amenities including the dog park, pool & hot tub, outdoor deck, and u-pick blueberries! My only challenge has been parking but i decided to pay for a covered spot to avoid further issues. I love living here! <3

Great maintenance staff! Justin and Shane are top notch! Lauren & Desiree are awesome office staff! The main issue everyone has is parking. There are too few parking places and too many people! What is needed is a parking garage built in the woodland area.

Everything has been nothing but great. I love all the staff and I appreciate how hard they work to keep everyone happy! 😁

We moved here in January of 2019 and have loved it. The office and maintenance staff are super friendly and always willing to help. On a whim, we emailed asking about moving to a bigger unit when our lease was up, and they got back to us to let us know our dream unit was available now and we've started the process of packing and getting ready to move at the beginning of June. Even through the COVID-19 crisis the staff has been diligent about helping us over email and phone.

Very quick and friendly! Thanks for also replacing my burnt out light bulb!

Everything was taken care of on time without any delays.

MAINTENANCE IS THE BEST

When the problem didn't get fixed the first time maintenance came back after hours and fixed it.

Very happy with everything so far

You guys are great

Fast getting the work done!

Amazing staff !!! My move in was amazing thanks to everyone at Artesia!!!

The leasingl processes was verqy quickand easy with extremely polite staff

Very nice staff ,they walked me through patiently and nicely since the day one i visited Artesia, beautiful place i can't be more satisfied and excited ,special thanks to you.

Very fast service, and problem is fixed! Thanks---

Parking is rough but the apartments are great and the staff is extremely friendly.

Artesia has become a pleasant retreat to call home. The renovations are beautiful and well thought out. I absolutely love the location of the new dog park. Its great to watch the sun rise and drink my coffee while my fur baby runs around . I cant wait to experience the new fire pit. Last but not least,the staff is A*M*A*Z*I*N*G. You will love it here...

It's unfortunate but unless you moved into a renovated apartment you don't get the new look. You have to move out or they won't renovate, even if you are paying top dollar. Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was so fun. I took pottery many years ago in high school and was never really good at it. Jay helped everyone out of they needed it and everyone seemed to learn a lot. I will be going back for studio rental and maybe take a class for glass.

Karen was the absolute best. Had so much fun and she was so helpful! Definitely worth it and am hoping to come back for open studio time to work on my “centering” because that was a big fail on my part 😂

My wife and I went to beginners pottery class and we had a fantastic time!! The instructions were precise and calm. They help you bring out your inner artist! We will definitely be back! Very fun night out together!

The studio was well equipped and clean, and JG was wonderful. Good instruction in an easy to understand manner, and I had a really fun pottery class! I’ll definitely be back.

Great date night activity, very fun and claiming environment. The instructor is very nice! He walk you through every step. It's my first time and definitely going back.

We have taken two classes, and have a third one scheduled already. Super inexpensive, we weren’t hounded by staff (did it all at our own pace), amazingly friendly encouraging staff!! Highly recommend this activity!! Thank you!

A fun experience. Instructions were nice and clear, Jay had such a great sense of humor and was an amazing teacher. Can’t wait to come again, I’m definitely recommending this to all my friends

Super cute, welcoming, all levels friendly local arts studio. For all the gorlies who want to start learning pottery - it’s such a good deal to take a lesson first and then buy in bulk studio time (p much everyday 3-5pm and Saturdays 10am-12pm). Usually it’s impossible to find an affordable / not snobby pottery studio in Seattle but this is a gem!

Extremely fun class! Decided to stop by for my birthday, and will definitely come back for more activities. The atmosphere was very peaceful and there were many materials to use. I appreciated that it was a class where you could be left alone, but help was always there if you needed it. Very excited to come back!
