Make Way For Spring

Every year in the spring (we think it has been 7 years now), Sip and Ship has some very special visitors who come to seek familiarity and safe haven to return to and grow their families The Sip and Ship team has named these web-footed urban dwellers, Axel and Astrid, and they are part of our extended family. Rumor has it that Axel enjoys long flights, occasional water skiing and cornmeal (wet, not dry). Conversely, Astrid likes her alone time, long waddles in the park and loves talking about her 79 children (don’t ask her about them, it’ll take for-ever).
Two years ago, after the chicks were born, these seasoned parents knew it was time to head towards the water. Being the risk taker that he is, Axel was ready to lead them across Market street and Sip and Ship was at the ready to form a human chain and guided the family of ducklings to water near the boat canal.
This year, whether Axel and Astrid choose Sip and Ship or another Ballard location as their nest home, we’ll be looking out for our fine feathered friends - just like we look out for you!
See you soon,
Diana and Your Sip and Ship Team
