Black Friday is just around the corner. And whether you have
a tradition of heading to the stores at midnight and waiting in line, or
grabbing a latte the next day and braving downtown, it’s the official start of
the holiday shopping season. It’s no secret that we’re advocates of all gifts
local, so we’ve rounded up a list of the must-stop pop-up shops opening this
weekend across the Pacific Northwest.
Score something really great? Post it on Instagram and let

designers, and pick up something completely unique for all those on your ‘Nice”
