This Giant Washington Fabric Warehouse Is The Place Crafters Lose Track Of Time
A fabric store sits on the top floor of an old steel processing building, and crafters happily climb a lot of stairs to reach it. That alone made me curious. The shelves hold quilting cottons, silks, linens, bridal fabrics, outdoor fabrics, and upholstery materials. There are scrap bins, a discount area, yarn, buttons, and patterns too.

A Seattle-based Amazon employee is suing the company after she says a senior manager raped her on a New York work trip in 2023. According to the Seattle Times, she told Amazon’s HR department, reported the assault to the New York Police Department, and underwent a rape kit exam. The police did not press charges, but they did question the manager and, in one instance, he said he was too drunk after a work event with an open bar to remember what happened.
