I live 20 miles south of Seattle and a world away...

With more than 89,000 people, Federal Way is the 10th largest city in the state of Washington. The 10th largest city doesn't have a used bookstore, a gay bar or an art museum but we have two, count 'em, two Walmarts. Now, before you think I'm a total snob, you should know that I do have an affinity for some big chains - I do a lot of shopping at Target and Trader Joe's and I never leave home without my Taco Del Mar punch-card. This blog isn't here to put down the friendly suburb of Federal Way but to celebrate the things that are unique about it. These one-of-a-kind gems in a sea of strip malls are the things that make a city special and worth calling home.

Simply Paws

35419 B 21st Ave SW, Federal Way


If your pets are as spoiled as mine, you'll want to shop here
Simply Paws is an independently (and Coug!) owned pet supply store that sells a variety of high quality pet food, litter, toys and other items you might need for your furry friends.  My career is actually in the animal welfare field and I’m one of those pet nerds who is very particular about what I feed my cat.  She, in turn, is very particular about what she will eat, so having nearby access to good cat food is a priority for me.  The owners and staff here are friendly and knowledgeable about the products they carry and will happily help you pick out what you need.  They have recently moved into a larger store in the Northshore neighborhood, not far from their first location in the Dash Point area.  I love the idea that I can support my neighbors while I support my cat.
