Your Bathroom is About to Get Dreamier: Kohler Signature Store Opens in Bellevue
If you have plans to renovate your bathroom, or if like me, you live for aimlessly perusing kitchen and bath design showrooms (soaker tubs with water and air jets!), then have I got one well-heeled tidbit of home-decor news for you: Kohler, the manufacturer of bath products, tiles and beyond, has opened its third-ever Signature Store in the U.S., right here in Bellevue.
The store, owned and operated by Interbay-based Keller Supply Company, carries bath and kitchen faucets and sinks, showerheads, tubs, toilets, tile and other swoon-worthy bath goodies from Kohler’s extensive brand portfolio. And you’ll be able to see the merch in its fully designed surrounds, as a number of bathroom suites and other real-life examples have been carefully created to showcase just how specific products perform and look.
“Whether purchasing a kitchen faucet or embarking on a complete bathroom renovation,” says Michelle Kilmer, Kohler’s director of showroom marketing, “the [store] consultants can work with customers on every step of the home improvement process–conceptualization, design, product selection, budgeting and build-out.”
While the Kohler Signature Store is currently open to the public, it will be hosting an open house on Saturday, March 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., which means loads of demos and design inspiration, such as how to create the perfect shower design and top tips for bathroom remodeling. What’s more, the shop is offering 25 percent off Kohler products and 50 percent off in-home bath design consultations. Get thee to Bellevue for all the bathroom-design fun. Kohler Signature Store, 1018 116th Avenue NE; 425.748.8090; kohler.com

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…

The Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.
Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
