Real Local Collective

A sunny weekend in the Pacific Northwest is basically an invitation to get outside. But before the patio chairs and summer adventures take over the calendar, consider checking off a few items from your summer home maintenance list. Future you will be glad you did.

For the items that are a little beyond the weekend DIY list, Local has a network of trusted professionals ready to help. Reach out anytime for recommendations and resources.

in is a monthly celebration of the small, locally owned businesses that give the district its character. Shops and galleries stay open a little later than usual, offering special promotions, live music, art, and activities that invite you to wander, discover, and keep it local.

This month, we have a designer vault pop up where you'll find gently used designer women's fashion. So come on over, find something cute, sip wine from Corcilla Cellars and have a s'more!

We'll also be collecting non-perishable food and new hygiene items to benefit Positive Charge. Bring a donation and you'll be entered for a chance to win a gift card to your favorite local business in the Village.
