I’m thrilled to share that Firefly Beauty Collective will be opening its doors in the Admiral neighborhood! We would like to have our soft opening on February 13th just in time to participate in the art walk! As part of this event, we’d love to contribute to the sense of community and connection that makes Admiral so special. For the art walk, we plan to display some beautiful local artwork on our walls and welcome neighbors to stop by for a soft opening experience. We’ll also offer discounted coupons for those who visit, inviting them to enjoy a little “glow up” with our hair and lash services. Our team is passionate about creating a welcoming space for neighbors to feel their best, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to introduce Firefly to the community.

BlueBird Legal PLLC is a female-owned estate planning law firm here in West Seattle. I’m Jaclyn, the founder and attorney of BlueBird. Seven years ago, I made my home here in West Seattle and fell in love with the community. Originally from the Midwest, I strive to bring my Midwestern values to my practice with a genuine, honest work ethic, a bit of no nonsense and a lot of problem solving. I want my clients to feel heard and cared for. I believe that everyone should understand their estate plan and feel good about what they are creating to avoid leaving their significant people without a plan while dealing with grief.
We all tend to put off the challenging stuff, hard decisions like deciding what happens to our family, our children and pets when we’re no longer here. I understand that and I have also seen what it looks like when we put it off for too long and the unthinkable happens. My mission is to build strong and lasting relationships with my clients where we together work to build comprehensive estate plans to protect their loves and assets making sure their families can continue if the unthinkable does happen.
So, when you are ready to get started with your estate plan, schedule your peace of mind planning session here.

About Josh @ Edward Jones
Helping others has always been a driving force of who I am. I believe by partnering with others to help them achieve their financial goals I am positively changing their lives and those they care about. I strive to hear and understand clients' unique stories so that I can help with their investment choices to achieve their goals. The desire to help others started with my career as an EMT in Seattle which lasted about five years. As I continued my career, I accepted a position approving tissue for transplant in eye donation. I was later promoted and became a hospital account manager to assist nurses and hospitals meet expectations around organ, tissue and eye donation so they could receive government funding. So, I learned to really appreciate the demands on healthcare workers in our hospitals. I have lived in West Seattle about 25 year where I met my wife 20 years ago at Chief Sealth High School. She is a small business owner here is West Seattle, so I am quite aware of the struggles of small businesses inside and out. I love finding ways of supporting entrepreneurs as they live out their dreams. On top of supporting individuals and business owners I have the pleasure of watching my two grade school daughters, Addison and Charley grow up in our great community. You can usually find us on the weekends playing soccer or softball. After a decade it became very apparent to me my interest to help others with their financial future was my passion. I am excited for the impact I can make on others as they achieve their financial goals. Give me a call at 206-612-5554 or message me to set up a no obligation consultation on your financial goals! |

Honey Girl Books and Gifts features heirloom-quality products that tell our stories and yours. We also aim to sustain a vibrant community by creating meaningful fun!
HGBG PRODUCTS
1. Quilts, each with a vintage touch. Original designs include Alice in Wonderland, Seattle, Respect, Black and White, Crazy Alice, Frankenstein, and the Adorable Sloth baby quilt.
2. Original illustrated books for readers age 8 to adult. Two titles so far: "The Frankenstein of the Apple Crate" a gothic alternative origin tale, drawing on my scholarship on the French Revolution; and "A Spooky Tale of Spring", a retelling of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" set during the COVID-19 pandemic and featuring a ghost cat who counsels kindness. Coming next winter: "Five Seattle Stories by Seattle Kids", a collection of work written and illustrated by the Write YOUR Story kids of West Seattle (see below).
3. Toys made of repurposed materials: Luxury Troll Boudoirs and Eek dog toys, now available!
Backstory: Sustaining Community and Humanity
Honey Girl Books and Gifts is the creation of Julia Douthwaite Viglione, a writer and teacher as well as a designer / seamstress. The mission is to sustain and nurture humanity through connections: connections created by literature and textile arts.
HGBG is a deliberately small, sustainable business. We use fabrics from all kinds of sources, as appropriate for the products. Each work is slightly different. All products are made in our home studio in the Admiral neighborhood of West Seattle, WA..
We care not only about using sustainable materials in our sewn goods, but about sustaining creative spirits in this place we love. (I was born and raised in WSEA, an alumna of Gatewood!) That is why we co-teach with local writers a free workshop for kids called "Write YOUR Story," a semester-long writing workshop for ages 8-12, founded in 2012. Each semester we rewrite a famous old story and illustrate it; for example in Fall 2023 we wrote "The Trickster of Puget Sound", based on "Puss in Boots"!
A public, in-person book club on "Classic Novels (and Movies)" is another way to weave together literature and community. We meet monthly at C & P Coffee. See the West Seattle blog or C & P Coffee websites for latest title.
See you soon! After living far from Seattle for many years as a college professor, I'm so glad to be back! I look forward to meeting neighbors at the West Seattle Summerfest, ArtWalk and Art Hop, and the Admiral Junction Funktion of course! Watch for our Win YOUR Quilt game next summer!

FoRest Wellness Collective set out to create a unique place, intentionally designed to serve our community, as well as provide a space for independent practitioners to thrive. Every small business under our roof maintains their independence while working symbiotically to provide a convenient and customizable experience for clients. Our website and shared online booking system help direct you to the best service and practitioner to match your needs. We wanted to combine the convenience and luxury of a spa, while staying true to our small business values. Our gift card program allows the giftee a completely personalized experience as they can be applied towards any service offered at FoRest, as well as our Maker Market. The Maker Market is our small, yet mighty retail space that we have donated to local artists and makers to display and sell handmade goods. Shoppers are encouraged to pay the makers directly via their Venmo codes, or if you don't have Venmo we can take a credit card, all proceeds go directly to them. The market is open to clients during appointments, and to the public during events or by request, just ask (email, text, or call) and we're happy to accommodate.
A Child Becomes Preschool has been operating since 1989 and was founded by Michelle Neal, D.Ed. AKA Teacher Shelley. We reside in North Admiral and offer part-time preschool for children aged two-and-a-half to five. Our environment is one where positive and lasting relationships with students and their families are built from the first day students walk into our doors.
Our teaching staff are recognized for their knowledge, skills, and quality teaching. Each values kindness, compassion, and empathy and strives to help students to be positive, responsible, unselfish, and self-disciplined. As young children learn their preschool is a place of acceptance and trust, they can begin to be curious, active, and thoughtful thinkers.
At ACB, our curriculum is tailored to the age and needs of our students. A playful, developmentally appropriate environment is built to invite creativity and curiosity, with the end goal of instilling a life-long love for learning. Our curriculum covers social-emotional skills, numeracy, pre-literacy, fine and gross motor development, and themes which are designed to build curiosity and inquiry.
Knowing that the preschool years are foundational to a child’s future academic achievement and social-emotional development, we understand the importance of a high quality preschool setting. We are confident that when students leave our school, they will be ready to embrace the new and exciting challenges of kindergarten and beyond!
In the next few years, our current location will be demolished to make room for 15 affordable housing units. We will be relocating nearby in West Seattle and plan to continue maintaining this preschool’s reputation and ultimate goal of having a positive impact on young children and their schooling…so much so that they look back with pride and say, “I loved my preschool, A Child Becomes!”
