So far I've found Green River Community College but you have to take a "shop safety" class which I don't want to spend time on.

Any help would be much appreciated!

talked to some people at work, from what i hear, north seattle c.c. south seattle c.c. are good places, so is renton tech. and lake washington tech.

Renton Tech and Shoreline have some fairly reputable programs here in western washington.

If you want to just learn the basics you should do a CC class.

Anything fun/performance is not going to really come from any sort of class. I learned by just diggin in and reading every magazine I could get my hands on.
