Falling Into Place - Sip and Ship Celebrates 17 Years In Community

Remembering back to 2002, Sip and Ship was carved into a vacant space in Ballard. With a newborn on our hip, along with a few fresh-faced employees, we opened our doors into the unknown. Steve and I had never been entrepreneurs before and had just invested into a concept that made sense to us but was difficult explain to others. Are we a post office? Are we a coffee shop? Are we a gift boutique? All we really knew was how to take care of people. So we look a big leap of faith coupled with a little tenacity, hoping that the rest would fall into place.

Five years later, we introduced a-sister-store into the Greenwood neighborhood . Where we stumbled through a recession and five years after that, moved its location 10 blocks north where we currently operate today.

Here we are 17 years later very proud to serve the people that make up our community and who we want to celebrate. On October 15th, Sip and Ship would be honored to serve a special thanks to all of you, our amazing customers, who have supported us over the years! Your friendly Sip and Ship team would like to personally thank you by serving you free lattes all day and samples from our new vendor HomeGrown sandwiches (while supplies last in Ballard only).
We appreciate the opportunities you’ve provided us over the years to be of service to you, your family and business, and look forward to remaining a mainstay in your lives for years to come.

With gratitude and full hearts,

Diana and Your Friendly Sip and Ship Team
