New antique store opens in Pierce County with home decor, clothing, gifts
In July, an antique store in downtown Buckley closed its doors after 27 years in business. Now a new shop has taken its place. Kristi’s Country Store opened Oct. 24 at 745 Main St. featuring antiques, clothing, home goods and artisan items from over a dozen different consignors. The store replaced The Queen’s Ransom, an antique mall that opened just a few doors down in 1999, before moving to 745 Main St. in 2015. Katie Morehead, owner of The Queen’s Ransom, said she’s always been into antiquing, and her mother was, too. The two of them opened antique shops in Seattle before Morehead decided to head to Buckley and open her own store. After nearly three decades, Morehead said, it was time to slow down and spend more time with her family. “I’m 63, and I’m tired,” Morehead said, chuckling. “It was a good run.” The timing worked out for Kristi Fernandez, who owns Kristi’s Country Store. Fernandez said she got into antiques as a little girl when her great-grandmother used to take her to garage sales. Fernandez first opened her shop in Sumner in 2012 and rented spaces at local antique malls. The Sumner shop closed in 2018, and

Major Puyallup intersection is closing for up to six weeks for construction
An upcoming intersection closure near downtown Puyallup is expected to disrupt traffic in the weeks leading up to the holiday season, causing a nearby business owner to worry. Beginning Monday, Nov. 9, the city of Puyallup plans to block most traffic at the intersection of Fourth Street Northwest, Fifth Street Northwest and West Stewart Avenue for “up to six weeks.” Crews are replacing and upgrading stormwater, sewer, and water mains in the area, the city said on its project page . “This is necessary work that has to happen, and the intersection can’t stay open during it,” said city senior project manager Bryan Schermerhorn, who oversees the construction. The repairs are part of a longer-term stormwater system upgrade , he said, which began along Fourth Street this summer. During the closure, vehicle traffic will be detoured around the construction area.

Traffic flow will also change over the railroad tracks, with eastbound traffic on West Stewart Avenue crossing the BNSF tracks at
