Store front is closing. Will miss it.

This location is closing. 🤔 Apparently all the art has been squeezed out of Seattle? Where is vibrant scene I heard about? Did money and tech drive it away or did it just go underground? I prefer to believe Seattle haunted and no matter who lives here, eventually the city gets into their bones, into their brains and claims them. Then the art will return. Sadly Daniel Smith might not be here when all the new fish have been slowly assimilated into the weird euphoria if Seattle. I did pick up a drawing book and was on sale. Go check it out while you can! 😜🌈

Great spot for art supplies. It's a shame to only have learned of the location as they're going out of business.

I love DS and am almost in tears they are closing. Many people use their paints and watercolor paper, printmaking papers etc. I use the printed handmade papers for projects related to greeting card making and other things. Daniel Smith has a wonderful relationship with the people who make these papers. They are a group of women whose husbands have either died or have left the family. This is the kind of work they do to earn income. When I've been in other art stores, they have not had the same ethics. I'm very sorry to lose a store that has such a wonderful Outlook on the world. I believe they have enough space to still have the store and expand their paint making business because the ceilings are so high in part of the store that there could still be space for both. I'm not sure why they're shutting the store down. The workers there have become almost like family. They are kind and knowledgeable and if they don't know something they will find out for you. This is truly one of the saddest results of this so-called pandemic .
