A Fond Farewell :)
Please join us in sharing a bitter-sweet moment at Sip and Ship- we are wishing Nathaniel Moore, Ballard Store Manager, and his family a safe and prosperous journey to the east coast. There they will be closer to family, continue to follow their passion for music, and welcome a new addition to their growing family. Stop by this week to wish him your best!

A New Arrival :)
Welcome, Ryan Short to the Sip and Ship team as Ballard Store Manager. Ryan is a Ballard resident and family man with two small children. He also comes with a background in music and production. He and Nathaniel have been working closely together along with the Sip and Ship team to ensure attention and care goes into everything we do for and with our community. Be sure to say hello, Ryan is looking forward to meeting you!

Fondly yours,

Diana and Your Friendly Sip and Ship Team
