But under that, they listed online private schools. And at the very bottom of the page was a logo titled "BBB Accredited Business." When I clicked the logo, I was taken to a page that stated the mission of this organization: "This company offers advanced education informational websites. - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/western-washington/business-reviews/educational-consultants/project-8-labs-in-seattle-wa-22691942#bbblogo " When I went to that page, it became obvious that this organization and the original website are commercial in nature: "What is a BBB Business Review? We offer free reviews on businesses that include background, licensing, consumer experience and other information such as governmental actions that is known to BBB. These reviews are provided for businesses that are BBB accredited and also for businesses that are not BBB accredited."
