Its been a whirlwind summer for us here at Seattle Picks. It has all gone by so quickly, what with the parties, moving, outdoor movies, weddings, fairs, festivals, sunny days at the beach and, oh yeah, working. We can hardly believe we are nearly to September already. When did that happen? Summer has barely just begun... it can't leave yet! So, in an attempt to soak up the last rays and warmth of the season, we are taking the week off to catch our breath and re-boot before fall arrives. We do hope you will forgive our absence this week, and not to worry, we'll be back bigger and better next week with more Seattle Picks goodness. And maybe, if we all hope hard enough, we can coax Mother Nature into giving us a few more days of sun.

p.s. Ok, ok, we couldn't leave you without one good tip for the weekend! Don't miss the Boutique Culture Warehouse sale--you won't be able to forgive yourself if you do... we're speaking from the voice of experience here...
