July the 1^st the City of Seattle’s plastic bag ban went into force. We are exempted from having to charge customers for our new paper bags and can continue to offer our customers our usual plastic bags until our supply is exhausted. But remember, we’d really prefer that you bring in your reusable bags and wine totes. Paper, plastic or your own reusable bag. The choice is yours.

FYI – our paper bags are renewable, recyclable, compostable, and contain a minimum of 40% post-consumer material.

Hours: Wednesday to Friday 12-7, Saturday 11-7, and Sunday 11-5.

Nadia is a 2007 graduate of the Gage Academy Landscape Painting Atelier immersion program. A self-professed “desert lover”, she feels compelled to capture with paint the nuance of color and light that is indicative of the desert environment. Inspired by two trips to Zion National Park, Utah, her new series merges a classical painting understanding with the bold, more direct brushwork found in plein air work.
