The beloved florist on NW Market St, Ballard Blossom, has found a new home.
The news that they’d be leaving their 35-year home came as a shock to many earlier this year when it was confirmed that the flower shop will be torn down to make way for a 7-story hotel.
Owner Rachel Martin tells My Ballard that they’ll be moving to 1111 NW 85th St. They’re working on remodeling and renovations, but expect to be moving at the end of October.
The building, previously occupied by Home & Garden Art, will be fully kitted out by the time Ballard Blossom moves in.
They’re getting new coolers, a new sign, new lights, new plumbing and HVAC — “basically the whole space is being redone and designed for better design flow, efficiency and safety.”
“We are so excited to have a new, fresh space!” Martin says.
They’ll be posting updates on their progress — follow along on Instagram and Facebook for details as they make their move.
Not the best traffic location for retail businesses on that stretch of 85th between 8th and 15th. Hopefully their name recognition gets people in there!
