We all know that the Sip and Ship crew is a diverse group of people, but did you ever stop to wonder what makes them tick? Well, it's time for you to find out!

These are some of our favorite fun facts about the people who make your favorite beverage and ship packages for you:

  • Some of us like to watch YouTube and Netflix to unwind and learn about people and worlds different from our own. Documentaries are always in the queue.
  • Some of us make and eat our own lunch everyday, while some of us love the convenience and flavorful sandwiches from Harried and Hungry at Ballard Sip and Ship.
  • Some of us have pets (and often we like to ogle over yours). We’ve even got some of their sweet faces already on our “Fury Friends In Residence” boards. Be sure to snap a pic of yours the next time you’re in and tag: @sipshipshop so we can add Fido to our collection!
  • Some of us are obsessed with nature and travel, and can't wait until we get back out there again! Exploring areas in the Pacific Northwest, France, Italy, Peru, Japan, Africa, and cruising through the Fjords are some experiences on our bucket-lists. Are you heading anywhere soon!?

But above all, these hardworking people love what they do because they understand that they're helping make your life easier. And that's something worth raising a Sip and Ship beverage to!

We appreciate you, your business, and your support however it shows up!
