It’s time to get outside, take that trip, try something new and experience an adventure! Sip and Ship is here as your home base to iron out the details, finish up those last minute tasks, and help you complete errands without the headache. You deserve to relax, get out of the office and enjoy some sunshine–let us handle the rest.

Our friendly staff are eager to assist you in-store with any printing, copying, scanning, or faxing needs. Navigate dreadful paperwork with ease and let our notary public team lend a helping hand. Best of all- skip the line and hassle of the post office, stock up on graduation cards and thoughtful gifts, and do some personal shopping through our thoughtfully curated gift shop.

Having a mailbox with Sip and Ship allows you to be spontaneous and travel with ease. Live on your own schedule all summer long without having to worry about packages being delivered when you’re gone. Whether you’re beaching it at Saltwater State Park, having a picnic at Lake Sammamish, or watching the sunset over Mount Si, Seattle is near countless sights and hikes worth taking advantage of! The endless recreational opportunities is what makes living here so special. 

We hope you enjoyed a lovely weekend with family and friends in nature; a prelude to the priceless summer months ahead of us. Memorial Day is many things; a federal holiday, a day off and a day of mourning, an occasion to honor the fallen, the last Monday in May, and a turning point into summer. Sip and Ship acknowledges the incredible bravery, commitment, and selflessness of past military personnel who have died for our country. From the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate their service and sacrifice.

Graduation season is quickly approaching and we can’t wait to help pick out the perfect gift for your favorite overachiever! It’s time to celebrate the sleepless nights spent studying, tears and laughs, countless memories, and everything else that went into crushing final exams and closing the yearbook.

Congratulations to the Class of 2023; the world is your oyster! As you close one chapter and begin the next, we encourage you to take chances, be messy, and make mistakes. Experience as much as possible on your journey while continuing to leave your beautiful mark on this world. And before you go, be sure to stock up on mementos that remind you of home: Ballard t-shirts, mugs, and more.

Don’t forget to thank the mentors who have shaped your academic experience; behind every student is a strong teacher who has invested hours into their success! We can all acknowledge that being a teacher is no easy task, and even the smallest gift, card, or gesture can mean the world to your school support system. 

Send your favorite teacher off to a relaxing summer vacation with scented lotions, shower steamers, or a delightfully scented candle. A gift card from our Sip and Ship cafe is a great way to ensure they are staying caffeinated and treating themselves. Our sparkling lavender lemonade is the perfect refreshment for a hot summer day, and a fresh-baked cookie is sure to put a skip in their step. 

This is a special time as both students and teachers get to see their hard work pay off and relish in their accomplishments. Looking back, it seems like just yesterday you were taking your kindergartener to their first day of school. Looking forward, the future is bright and full of endless possibilities for your graduate. No matter the stage of life, Sip and Ship is proud to support you in every endeavor, and grateful to be along for the ride!
