Two Trading Tigers in Lake Forest Park

by Edy Kizaki on August 9, 2009 in Community, Lake Forest Park

Lake Forest Park is a very highly valued community for its quiet and rich lifestyle as well as it’s proximity to Seattle and being right on Lake Washington. In fact the Lake Forest Park Civic Center has a boat launch and a private beach that residents use in the summer to enjoy the water and swim. There are also a few wonderful shops and restaurants. While not large, it is enough and with enough variety to keep residents pretty busy and amused without going far to find something valuable. One of the most amusing I always feel is Two Trading Tigers, which is neverendingly different and fun, and the two owners, lovely ladies you would expect to find running an art gallery as easily as a consignment shop, are full of great insights into home decoration as well as fun to chat with! It’s really more like a friend’s house in a way

Blue white yellow and orange make a summer statement

where everyone is trading stuff that they are tired of but someone else will love.

As they are “consignees of fine goods” you never know what you’ll find but there is always something I NEED. I love their taste and it’s fun to bring things from home that don’t fit in anymore and move them on to a new and loving owner, and get some cash for doing so…which usually goes toward a purchase of something I feel I DO need. There is art on the walls, sometimes that you can’t live without. Their jewelry is always very tempting, they have wonderful Asian imports and household decor items, great antique and imported dishware, and of course special clothing. When you find a great jacket still with the tag on you will feel like a Paris fleamarket mavin. As we say in Seattle, “Enjoy, sisters!”
