Your cold brew is poured, your packages are ready, and Seattle is calling.

Something shifts in Seattle in the summer - and we feel it every single year inside our little corner of Greenwood.

Hi friends!

You can feel it - the way the light lingers until nearly ten o’clock, the way strangers smile at each other on the sidewalk, the way a cold drink in your hand feels like a small, perfect victory. So pull up a yellow chair. We’ve been waiting for you.

Step Up to the Plate

This summer, we’re pouring something worth swinging in for.

Our Mariner Cold Brew - Sweet cream cold brew, layered slow and golden. Cool, smooth, just the right amount of sweet - the kind of thing you order once and find yourself thinking about on Tuesday morning when the sun comes out and the day suddenly feels full of possibility.

We can’t promise a pennant race. But we can promise this drink will carry you through every inning of summer - from the first warm up in June to that last golden afternoon in September when you’re not quite ready to let it go.

Come in. Let us pour you one. Consider it your home run.

Camp Is Calling - Somewhere right now, there’s a kid at camp who could use a little piece of home. A teenager at a cabin who would do anything for their favorite snack. A family gathered around a backyard fire pit, wishing they had the good marshmallows.

We’ve got you. This summer, Sip and Ship is your camp care package headquarters.

Mojave Mallows - Vanilla Bean and Cocoa Dipped organic and utterly dreamy over a flame.

Stellar Pretzel Braids - Bold and Herby, because snacking should never be boring.

Levantes Charm Olive Oil - the outdoor gathering table that deserves to be treated well.

Lisa Frank x Kitsch Soaps - because every camp shower or new college dorm is an occasion.

Beautiful gift wrapping - bright ribbon, hand-tied bows, ready to ship anywhere they need to go.

We’ll get it there. Whether it’s across the country or across the sound, our shipping team will make sure your love arrives on time - and looking-good.

Transitions We’re Honored to Help With

Summer is the season of big moves and brave beginnings.

If your family has a college-bound student this fall - congratulations, and also, we see you! That’s a big package to send, literally and emotionally. We’ll help you ship it, box it, and get it there safely.

And if summer travel is on the horizon, we can help with the paperwork too. Need to get your passport renewal to the processing center? Bring your completed documents to us and we’ll send them off with expedited service - no guessing, no waiting in long lines, just peace of mind. We also offer notary services for travel documents, so the adventure can start without the stress.

Seattle Summer: Our Love Letter

We are so proud to call this city home.

Olympic Sculpture Park on a clear morning. The new waterfront with the Sound stretching out silver and wide. Discovery Park, where the lighthouse looks like something out of a storybook and the trail opens into a meadow that makes you stop walking and just stand there for a minute.

We hope you get outside. We hope you wander. And we hope that somewhere in your adventure you stop to see us - for our Mariner Cold Brew, a little something for the people you love, or just to say hello..

Save The Date

Phinneywood Art Walk August 14 & 15, 2026

Our neighborhood comes alive. Local artists open doors, and the kind of evening energy that reminds you exactly why you chose Greenwood. We’ll have something special waiting for you here at Sip and Ship. Mark your calendar. More details coming soon.

Summer is short here. That’s part of what makes it so sweet.

We’ll be here - coffee on, ribbons ready, some packages received, and others on their way - every single day of it.

With summer warmth and a refreshing cold brew, Diana and Your Sip and Ship Crew
