ANOTHER NEW JUNCTION BUSINESS SETS THE DATE: We first told you in December about Donna Ryan Photography coming to The Junction, in the former Swee Swee Paperie storefront just east of Cupcake Royale (WSB sponsor). Just got word from Donna that she has set April 23rd as her official opening date – and she adds it’s not just going to be a photo studio:
I am also super-excited to announce that I will also be carrying the Tea line of children’s clothing – mostly daily Tea – which is quality, fashionable every day wear at an affordable price. I will also be carrying some kids’ accessories, shoes and layette items.
Donna actually has worked in that space before – it’s where she did Santa photos for the West Seattle Junction Association last holiday season. Meantime, east of The Junction in The Triangle:
1ST DAY FOR THE WAX BAR’S 2ND LOCATION: As reported here last night, today was opening day for The Wax Bar, which was founded in Ballard and now has added a West Seattle location (37th/Alaska). We dropped by in the early afternoon and talked briefly with co-owner Mac and aesthetician Bevan (one of three on the WS WB staff for starters). A comment on last night’s story asked about grand-opening specials – Mac said they’ve got a special on “Brazilian” waxes for starters, $45, which is more than a third off. As with their Ballard location, they plan “happy hour” specials 1-3 pm. And of course – what about the beer, since that’s part of what sets them apart? Several types, including Corona and Pike, Mac said – plus they have non-alcoholic beverages too (he mentioned Dry Soda). Their formal “grand opening” festivities, he added, will be in about three weeks.
SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS MEANS SMILES IN THE TRIANGLE – PLUS A SIDEWALK SALE: Another new business in The Triangle, ski and paddle shop Mountain to Sound Outfitters (WSB sponsor), is looking ahead to a huge weekend March 26-28: In conjunction with its sister business Alki Kayak Tours (which just reopened for the season), there’ll be a big sidewalk sale at Mountain to Sound (3602 SW Alaska). Here’s the flyer; deals are planned for ski and paddle gear, plus skate rentals, as well as a free barbecue on Friday night (with the store staying open till 9:30 that night), and a raffle to benefit the now-forming West Seattle Snow Sports Council, which is being founded to help get West Seattle-area kids more access to snow sports.
