Nordstroms Grand Opening

Posted by Carol Miller No Comments »

The new Nordstroms store is now open at the Tacoma Mall!  It is  quite a bit bigger then the old one that is now sitting there vacant waiting for another retail store to take over.  Here are pictures of the new store along with some art work that hangs in the doorway when you walk in.  Check out the last picture of the piano player, well not so much the piano player but the man to the right sitting on the couch….here is what happens when the wife brings the husband shopping, he is given a newspaper to read and hopefully he doesn’t finish it until the wife is done looking at everything in the store!!

Grassi’s

Posted by Carol Miller 1 Comment »

I got the chance to meet Kim Grassi, owner of Grassi’s florist and gift shop.  Kim and her husband Ken opened the Tacoma store in 1979 on the corner of Union and Center Street and opened a second store on Pacific Ave downtown Tacoma.  I now know why I enjoy visiting their stores.  Not only do they have fabulous gifts and a great decor…Kim is a wonderful person with a caring attitude that reflects in her business.  If you are looking for just the right gift or a gorgeous floral arrangement, Grassi’s is the place!  They go the extra mile to make sure every detail of the gift is made to perfection.  They also have a cafe upstairs in their downtown store with a breakfast and lunch menu.  I’m excited to try it out next week at their Sweethart dinner they offer every year with a five course meal.  I know once you check out this video you to will want to visit their stores!   RealEstateShows.com/253260
