Patagonia Opens Flagship Store in Ballard
Blink and you truly might have missed this shop's grand opening last weekend. After a slight delay, Patagonia opened on Ballard Avenue on August 19. The new flagship store is a home base for the brand's Workwear line, a collection of sturdy staples that don't quit. Plus, it houses Patagonia Provisions, its food and drink spinoff that lauds a more sustainable food system through its products—they're not messing around; there's even a documentary about it.

Stop by Sway and Cake from 5–8 for the Fashion First Countdown happy hour. Fashion First is Seattle's longest running independent runway show, helmed by the singular Joan Kelly.
