Look for a new, but apparently well-known furniture and home decor store to open at University Village this fall. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, there are nearly 6,000 customers in the Puget Sound area who shop Room & Board online and through its catalog.
The second-floor showroom will feature 27,000 square feet of Room & Board furnishings and design inspiration according Room and Board’s website.
For more than 30 years, Room & Board has focused on the simple idea that good design should be beautiful, affordable and long-lasting. They work with American artisans to offer furniture and accessories, even custom pieces, that fit the needs of modern life. More than 90 percent of the products Room and Board sells are handcrafted in the US.
Tazo Tea

According to the Seattle Times, Tazo’s tea operations are now located at Starbucks’ roasting and packaging plant in Kent.
