Editor's note...

In this third edition of our Seattle Stylesheet we find the Emerald City in the splendor of summer and at her finest. The way this city comes alive under the sun makes waiting in the rain all worth it! Here at the Seattle chapter office we’re busy working to find you new shops, restaurants, and events that will make this summer a chic one. With your new sustainable style membership card you can head on out and take advantage of our exclusive perks; summer is the time when we all show off our best styles and visiting our sustainable friends solidifies your look and lifestyle! Don’t have a membership? Visit the ssf* homepage and select “support ssf? and you’ll be on your way to summer savings!

Thanks for the great feedback and suggestions on our last issue. As always, if you have a question, comment or suggestion for the next stylesheet, or you'd like to become a stylesheet sponsor, I would love to hear from you. Email me at or call at 206.324.4850.

Cheers to a Fantastic Summer!
