Summertime or anytime - traveling with kids without your spouse/partner, signing up for a virtual mailbox to support your online or remote business, accepting a new job abroad, selling your boat, getting married/divorced, setting up power of attorney, solidifying a business partnership, or creating a Will are all instances when a notary service comes into play.

Ballard and Greenwood Sip and Ship locations have multiple notaries on staff 7 days a week who are at the ready to help you with any and all of your needs  - we can also add a delicious coffee and homemade treat to completely satisfy your visit :)

Helpful things to  know:

• A valid photo government issued ID is required - usually a drivers license or passport.
• No appointment is necessary but it’s always good to call ahead to be sure a notary is staffed during the time you wish to come.
• Mobile notary service is available and only a text away to 206-890-9810 or email ballard@sipandship.com or greenwood@sipandship.com to make an appointment. This service begins at $50 plus per stamp fees. 
• Costs may vary - typically $20 per stamp, $30 when Sip and Ship provides legal language and we also offer witnesses for $5 per signature.
• We strongly suggest that you either take a picture of your notarized document or we can have it scanned to your email.

​
We look forward to providing you with a variety of business services to best support your life goals.

Sincerely, 
Diana and your friendly Sip and Ship Team

Scents like white pine and hemlock, seagrass and driftwood, cottonwood and oak, cactus flower and fern, and maplewood and moss, are inspired by our great national parks. Yosemite (California), Grand Canyon (Arizona), Acadia (Maine), Glacier (Montana) and The Great Smoky Mountains - these breathtaking landscapes are represented in this new wilderness candle collection. The vessels are uniquely textured, reusable and filled with fragrances you’d experience in the parks. Topped with cherry wood dust covers and crackling wood wicks, you can light strike-anywhere matches right on the vessel to really bring that campfire feeling home.

Best of all, your purchase directly supports the National Parks Foundation with a minimum donation of $25,000 and together our efforts help to protect more than 84 million acres of national parks through conservation and preservation.

As always, Sip and Ship looks forward to supporting you and our national parks in this fun and impactful way.
See you soon, 
Diana and Your Friendly Sip and Ship Team

Before Ballard became one of the hippest neighborhoods in Seattle, not to mention an epicenter of the gastro-culinary scene, and certainly way before Sip and Ship arrived on NW Market Street, our little shop was a popular destination known as Johanson’s Photography Studio. Do any of you remember? This little retail shop was born in the 1930s and is still relevant today. Johanson’s Studio was owned and operated by an assemblage of fathers and sons for three generations. In the 1950s a young apprentice did a lot of the heavy lifting, which included; changing out the hot flashlight bulbs as soon as they popped, maneuvering large window-sized-glass-photo-plates, and removing them from the camera and into the sunlight with great anticipation for what the mammoth sized negatives would reveal to the photographer.

As fate would have it, this once 14-year-old apprentice would venture into Sip and Ship  75 years later, to get a document notarized. He would generously share stories of his youth, before iPhones came along, when making one family portrait required Kodak film and a time-and-labor intensive process that could take hours to get one shot. One year, he was asked to run their photo booth at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. He fondly remembered when Elvis Presley came to visit the fairgrounds and climbed up to the roof of his photo shack just so he could catch a glimpse of The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll himself among a crowd of fans.

The black and white images you see are of Johanson's Photography studio during the 30's, 40's and 50's (check out the rad cars going by) all iterations of our neighborhood hub. One fun fact that you may have already experienced is that Ballard Sip and Ship's front door is the original Dutch door in these pictures. It has not only graced this building for decades, but we think it's charming because it squeaks, alerting our team to offer you a smile as you enter.

In other news, come check out our seasonal delights in our coffee shop with the likes of Gluten-free lemon cookies, Matcha/Green Tea ice-cream, Hand-Pies and Affogato, and Lavender Lemonade.

Come enjoy colors of spring in our gift boutique with gift ideas for Dads and Grads including Frida market totes, key chains and pillows, Rifle Papergoods cards and journals and PNW stickers to adorn any college-or-office-bound laptop.

As always, we look forward to seeing you - but make it on Tuesday - we are closed on Memorial Day.
