Make This Summer Count – Climb, Celebrate, and Create Community

Summer is in full swing, and there’s a lot to look forward to at Sip and Ship this July—opportunities to connect, give back, and be inspired.

Climb for the Grieving Kids | July 10–12
We are incredibly proud of Stella Vogel —Sip and Ship barista and founder of the nonprofit Angel Bear —who will be attempting to summit Mount Rainier, the tallest peak in Washington State at 14,411 feet. Her journey is more than a climb; it’s a tribute and a mission. Stella founded Angel Bear in honor of her father, whom she lost at a very young age. This climb—called Climb for Comfort —is an extension of her heartfelt work helping grieving children find comfort and community.

If you'd like to support her cause and uplift children who, like Stella, are learning to carry love and loss together, [ donate here ].

Ballard SeafoodFest | July 11–12
The Ballard neighborhood will be bustling with flavor and fun during SeafoodFest, and we’ll be right in the heart of it! Whether you're starting your day or stopping by post-salmon feast, Sip and Ship Ballard has you covered with refreshing lavender lemonade, crave-worthy salted chocolate chip cookies, and our summery lemon-strawberry scones.

Plus, enjoy 50% off select Ballard gear and other summer treasures while supplies last. Come cool off, refuel, and say hello!

Phinneywood Summer ArtWalk | July 18, 6–9 PM at Greenwood Sip and Ship
Mark your calendar for this year’s ArtWalk—moved up a bit earlier in the month and packed with wonder. We’re thrilled to host artist Jorge Caines, whose mixed media sculptures blend the extraordinary with the everyday. Think meteorites, woolly mammoth fur, and Roman coins, paired with dried flowers, paperclips, and spices—all unified through ceramic, concrete, wire, and imagination.

Growing up on the Marshall Islands, I spent countless daylight hours beachcombing—gathering driftwood, sea glass, bottle caps, and shells to craft tiny homes in the sand. What began as play became a practice: of noticing, choosing, and assembling with care. That quiet curation of scattered pieces is a thread that’s followed me into adulthood—and is now deeply woven into how we curate Sip and Ship. Jorge’s work rekindles that same sense of wonder. His pieces ask us to look closer, feel more, and see beauty in both the ancient and the everyday.

Come meet Jorge, sip something cool, and explore our Greenwood summer sale —featuring unique, useful, and delightful items at 50% off and more deep discounts to help us prepare for seasonal change.
