Janet Hayes, president of Williams Sonoma, says Seattle is a vibrant city on the rise, with talented bartenders, chefs and designers.

“We had a great time picking local food assortments, with many more products in the queue to launch throughout the balance of the year. I am so proud to bring our new retail concept to this city. Seattle is full of forward-thinking people and they deserve a place to shop that is experiential as well as community-minded.”
