We called because the thermostat in the house we were renting was broken and flashing an error message. Fortunately, there were gas logs we could turn on because it was getting cold as evening approached. We also could not lock the front door from the outside. I called, but no one answered, so I left a message. After an hour, I just went to the rental office in town and told them in person. They were nice, and someone came to the house to check it out. The front door was apparently not lining up correctly for the lock to work, but after he hit the side of it with a hammer, it was ok. So maybe it just came loose or something. He was nice, but the thermostat never got fixed.
When we were leaving, all packed up and literally just about to head home, a dog without a collar came up to the porch and was pawing at the door to go inside. We waited around for someone, thinking surely they would come looking for their dog, but we were in a hurry, needing to get back to Seattle by a certain time. So after about ten minutes, we called the safety officer number that was in the guide book to see if they would come get the dog. It did not act like a stray and was probably a pet. The safety officer was rude and just seemed like we were bothering him, but the alternative would have been just to leave the dog there, which we did not want to do. After some convincing, he finally said he would come check it out. Luckily, I heard someone shouting a name down the street and assumed correctly that it was the owner looking for the dog. I called out, "over here!" They came around a corner, and I waved, and all was well in the end. We called the safety officer back and told him the dog was claimed, but I got the impression the safety officer was not going to do anything about it. So, if you bring your dog, just keep that in mind.
