Sherwood Forest Has A New Market

PCC, the natural food store supermarket, has finally found its way to the center of the universe, Sherwood Forest.  The new Edmonds store opened to the public this week at the old Albertson’s site.  With its commitment to sustainable farming and customer service, this new market is a welcome addition to our community.  They are organically certified and purchase  their produce, meat and dairy from local farms.

Since its grand opening last week, the Edmonds store has been a beehive of activity, buzzing with curious newcomers and veteran, tried and true “PCC’ers.”  But it is not just people I am talking about.  The state of the art rain garden in the middle of the parking lot is attracting, birds and butterflys and bees with its hardy northwest plantings.  It is an effective way to capture and clean rain run off from the parking lot and underscores the company’s commitment to the environment and sustainability.

 PCC is not just a supermarket.  It is a concept which combines commerce with social responsibilty, the community and reasonable, responsible ecological pro-activity.  Even if none of those things matter to you, it is place to buy your groceries that is fun to visit and quality is the standard on the shelves.  Your friendly neighborhood realtor, Blair Leckie, says, “Give PCC a try.”

A Dog’s Best Friend, Bow Wow Bill

Bill Church, a.k.a. Bow Wow Bill, operates a school for dogs in Edmonds.  His business specializes in all breeds of dogs and offers a variety of services both for the dog and the dog owner.  Classes ranging from puppy preschool and social hour to group obedience classes, private training and rescue dog rehabilitation are offered at Scrub-a-Pup near the Harbor Square Athletic Club in Edmonds.  He also offers services such as dog walking, waste removal, dog camping, seminars, virtual training and drop in training. 

Bow Wow Bill is a unique, caring individual and is enthusiastic about dogs and seeing that they are properly trained to be good citizens in society.  Dogs listen to him.  Perhaps the best testimonial comes from Maizie, my crazed lab pup, a recent graduate puppy preschool and anxiously looking forward to advanced work at the group training class.  She rates Bow Wow Bill  as highly recommended by giving him a maximum  five out of five wags of the tail including an unsolicited  butt wiggle embellishment.  Bow Wow Bill’s is one of the many Edmonds businesses that provides convenience, richness and diversity available to the Sherwood Forest community.
