Drygoods Design Kicks Off Fall with a New Store Location, a Grand-Opening Party and a Bunch of New Classes
To kick off its official move from Ballard to Pioneer Square Drygoods Design (301 Occidental Ave. S) is throwing a grand-opening party, complete with door prizes and bubbly, this Friday (9/5), starting at 6 p.m. (The shindig was pushed by a day so as not to compete with—we’re going to say it—those victorious Seahawks’ revelers on Thursday.)
As well as stocking its new storefront with its usual array of “delightful fabrics and goods” (not to mention a charmingly homespun geography lesson for its first window dressing), Drygoods has a bunch of new classes on offer, such as its mini Lunch Break Lessons (there’s one in November helpfully dedicated to DIY holiday projects), and has launched an Apparel Book Club. Other upcoming classes that pique our interest are the Handmade Pillow Class ($48; 9/17), Beginning Quilting ($95; 10/5, 10/12) and Aprons Class ($48; 11/22).
Drygoods Design’s new Pioneer Square store is stocked with DIY classes, sweet goods (say, an Orla Kiely trowel) and fabulous fabrics (including new selections from Liberty of London)

A San Juan Island Home for All Seasons
With an eye toward the future, Prentiss + Balance + Wickline helped two Seattle professionals design a house perfect for weekend getaways now—and permanent living during their post-retirement years.
It was early 2017 when a Seattle-based empty-nester couple started searching for a property in the San Juan Islands. They still had jobs in the city, but were nearing retirement and wanted a home they could use on weekends, and eventually settle in after they left the workforce. Initially, the two weren’t planning on a…
Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?
A Ketchikan company is working with WSU researchers to see whether its kelp-based biostimulant can help grapes and berries withstand environmental stress.
From the floatplane, reddish-brown kelp traces the edges of the small islands between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island like brushstrokes on the surface of the water. Up close, on a rare 70-degree July day in Alaska, the kelp is glossy and beautiful, though the wind coming off the water makes it nearly impossible to…
PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills
The nation’s largest gathering for houseplant lovers makes its Pacific Northwest debut this August with 200 booths, hands-on workshops, and a DJ.
My house is full of plants, enough that I’ve lost count. Houseplants have the same suspicious math as tattoos: One is rarely the final number. I propagate cuttings in jars of water, regularly rearrange corners of the house in pursuit of better light, and like to imagine the entire collection is improving the air. That…
