BEAT THE HEAT

Goodness is it ever hot in Seattle. And do note that is not a complaint, but simply a fact. Summer has arrived here just a little behind the rest of the country and it is finally time to reluctantly shed the layers. We still have tons of very summery clothes in the shop, many of which are available at discounted prices. When you come out to Ballard for the Seafood Festival, be sure to stop by and stock up.
