Minding the Store
While Velocity carries many international brands, they also support local artists and artisans (which makes me love them even more) and has taken that support one step further with The Lab, a monthly forum for the creative literati of Seattle to connect with each other and the community.

Little Kids, Big City
We’ve all heard that green is good, but where to get baby's green goods? Check out Fremont's new Birth and Beyond Baby. An offshoot of the original Birth and Beyond store in Madison Park, Birth and Beyond Baby opened a month ago and sells everything an eco-aware mom might need, from breastfeeding supplies to wipes (cloth, of course).

I suppose you can't really call a cat scratching post "fashion," but Seattle-based Marmalade certainly creates products that are aesthetically pleasing. Not only that; they're also eco-friendly. For those reasons, Marmalade has been chosen "by a panel of judges" to participate in Pet Fashion Week, August 23-24 in New York City.

In a city where it seems like there is a reusable grocery bag on everyone's arm and a recycling bin on every corner, using a plastic bag to clean up your dog's waste, or filling the cat box with non-biodegradable cat litter, just doesn't make sense. You find ways to reduce your own carbon footprint, so why not do the same for your dog's, um, paw print?
