Update May 3
The Grand Opening of West Seattle Mercantile at 3270 saw the ribbon cutting followed by people exploring the four joined stores. Also ready for an event is their outdoor event space called the Color Wall which owner Jennifer Young noted is great for childrens parties, small receptions, graduation parties and more. You can make it a fully DIY space or get their help for everything, just ask. A reservation form will be active on the website soon.
The four stores include Dylan, "clothing for everyone" Alair, the gift shop, Three Little Birds, a Children's Consignment Boutique, and Kid Friendly Footwear which is unique in that it's where kids can get fitted for their first shoes.
Jennifer noted that more than 80% of all merchandise in all the stores is either made or sourced locally. That helps insulate the stores from some of the potential price increases imported merchandise might see.
