Devoted To Service Rooted In Community

One of the best parts of owning and operating Sip and Ship is the adrenline rush we get knowing that everday is different. We never know who we'll get to meet or what problems we'll get to solve.

HomeStreet Bank and Sip and Ship work in tandom to provide a level of service that superceeds our customers expecations on any given day. Our busineses foster a sense of belonging.

Reinvent your holiday season with us this year! On November 29th from 6pm-8pm, Ballard Sip and Ship invites you to join us for a small window of time dedicated to helping you attend to your gift giving list. Please feel free to invite a friend, or three!

While you assemble your list, enjoy a glittery evening of sipping champagne and local wine tasting; while shopping and gaining a few gift wrapping cues from our very own Gift Wrapping Ninja, Diana Naramore. From odd sized items to ribbon mastery, we put the “wow factor” within your reach. Or maybe you have some tricks of your own? We’d love to hear some of your ideas, and ways you love to make the holiday season special.

Looking forward to seeing you at this fun and festive event!

What Matters To You Matters To Us

11/5/2018

First and foremost, your store visits never go unnoticed. We see you. We hear you, and we LOVE serving YOU. In fact, one of the things that make us enthusiastically jump out of bed every morning is knowing that every day at Sip and Ship is different. We never know who we’re going to meet or what problems we get to solve.

Just last week, a man named Roy came into the Ballard store, in need of help packing up and shipping his life to Arizona. We were fortunate enough to learn more about him as we began packing up his artwork and household items. He grew up in Ballard and had a successful career as a musician. Just two weeks earlier, he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a debilitating disease that slowly takes over the body. Roy lamented that he now takes the same medication as Michael J. Fox, who also suffers from Parkinson’s. A few friends had suggested he move to Arizona to be near them, it was certainly more affordable than Seattle, with the added benefit of sunshine. Roy enjoyed his latte that day while he watched Nathaniel pack his items with care. He came back a few more times that week, sometimes to ship, other times to just say hello. Roy’s story is about a man who entered Sip and Ship as a stranger and left as a friend.

There are hundreds of these kinds of stories and life events that we get to be a part of every day. Just knowing that we have the chance to impact someone’s day in some small way empowers our team to look beyond the transaction and closer at the individual, to provide the kind of care you would expect from a good neighbor, friend, or family member, and for that, we are grateful for each day.
