If you have the time, open drawers in the cabinetry and look under the tables, there's more than you could ever imagine in this one store.

On the downside finding exactly what we were looking for required a lot of trips between floors until we figured it out. There were not a lot of employees to be found, and the ones we did find weren't exactly helpful. For such a huge store, located where it is, there seemed to be a shortage of customers as well. It had a dystopian feel to the place for sure with harsh fluorescent lighting to it and empty aisles. I don't know how to describe it better than that. What should have been a nice huge store just left us feeling a little anxious to leave.

Geared towards people who want to make their own outdoor gear (by the way, how cool is that?!) Seattle Fabrics is also a treasure trove of goodness for those of us in the bag-making community. From vinyl to nylon to mesh this is not the place to look for quilting cottons, but if you like to think out of the fabric box you've come to the right place. And even though some of the larger chain fabric stores carry some outdoor-friendly products this place carries them in EVERY color. They also have an amazing selection of bag hardware in all sizes, quite possibly the most impressive selection of zippers EVER, and enough fleece to cover the entire city in one big blanket. Their prices were super reasonable too. I've been buying my glitter vinyl online for twice what I paid here. The place isn't fancy, and you might have to do some digging, but when I couldn't find a couple of things the nice guy at the cutting counter was happy to help. They also have a tempting selection of patterns. Want to make your own tent, ski clothing, or backpack? Need to reupholster your boat? Sailboat needs a new canvas? This is your place!

I've been to ArtHouse Mosaic Studio twice -…read more 1) to learn mosaic skills under Nancy's tutelage 2) as the sign language interpreter for a group of 6 deaf women, with Malika as their instructor. Both times, I was impressed with how relaxing it is to be around these women, something I feel certain is of benefit to those attempting the creative process. The way that Malika handled the 7 of us! - with multiple conversations going on simultaneously, arms flying everywhere - was spectacular. She was focused, patient, and gave flawless design suggestions for those who asked for them. One of the women took a really long time to decide what her project would be, changing her mind several times. This, and the fact that the women had to stop their work every time they spoke to the instructor or to one of their friends - caused our class to go quite a bit overtime. Again, Malika was graciousness incarnate. I've heard wonderful things about the 3rd business partner, Sherri. I'm sure she's a delight, as well. Next time you're looking to give an unusual gift or would like to exercise your creativity, give them a call!

I heard about House of Vartan while flipping through Marie Claire -- it was described along the…read morelines of "popular with the cool girls" which I am decidedly not. But I saw that they stock Kjaer Weis, which is a lovely low-waste cosmetic line, and figured it was worth a visit to avoid an online order. When I walked in (no makeup, milking day four of my blow-out after my last haircolor) I expected the cool reception I typically receive in places of "beauty." I love beauty products (I'm a bit of a makeup and skincare junkie) but have never really had a warm welcome in "beauty industry" places so I tend to avoid "beauty specialty" in favor of self-service spots. My experience here was the polar opposite. I walked in on a mission and was greeted with so much warmth and joy by Brendan, the owner, that before I even left the store I'd followed him on Instagram and was excited to keep in touch. He coached me through application of very simple cheeks and eyes with the Kjaer Weis product I was looking for, and helped me pick out exactly what I needed (and I've used the palette with love as my daily AND for evening ever since -- it's my favorite make-up in my kit). And beyond that, his joyful and welcoming energy made me feel at home in a "place of beauty." I'm comfortable and confident referring ANY of my friends to Brendan (and have and do, regularly now) and am especially excited to have somewhere and someone to refer friends who aren't always received warmly by the beauty industry to (including my man-friends and trans- and gender non-binary friends who aren't always warmly received in "beauty spaces.") Both times I've visited, I've felt strongly that that Brendan's ability to help create external beauty is supercharged by his ability to see the beauty within in anyone who walks in the door and that is a very, very special gift. If you've heard the hype and are the type to avoid a spot because of it, do yourself a favor and stop in. My treat to myself for the new year will be to start a facial habit here -- it's WAY out of my way, and very much worth the drive, and I'm just so delighted to be able to support such a warm and welcoming local business instead of the big chain stores.
