Dear Friends,

Many people currently greet us with the question-how’s business? Our honest answer has to be…challenging. In our 34 years in business, the current situation is the most unique we have faced, and requires decisive action.

While a number of you have continued to shop in your normal manner, others have withdrawn. Obviously for some this is a necessity. To those folks who are in a position to continue to shop with confidence, we urge each of you to do so locally. Our city has a wonderful cadre of Seattle family owned stores full of exceptional merchandise.

We hope you will choose to support your home-grown merchants that give Seattle its special ambience. We, as do our neighbors, feel a strong responsibility for the security of our very professional sales staff.

Your continued enthusiastic patronage is essential to our success and deeply appreciated. Please use this BB Holiday Certificate and visit us soon and often.

Sincerely,

Kay Smith-Blum and Butch Blum
