Revitalizing Seattle Neighborhoods

🌸 Meet Butterfly’s Rest Floral Design Studio, a Seattle Restored pop-up bringing seasonal, designer’s-choice arrangements to Downtown Seattle.

We recently sat down with Evangel Jung, founder of @butterflysrest, whose work celebrates the natural character and beauty of each stem through floral designs that are artful, refined, and quietly expressive.

Deeply committed to sustainability and thoughtful craftsmanship, Butterfly’s Rest prioritizes more environmentally friendly methods and materials while making every effort to use locally grown flowers and minimize waste.

Stop by for seasonal flowers, greeting cards, and thoughtfully curated gifts from local artists and makers, including handmade eco-luxury candles from @candlemomo.

👉 Read our interview with Evangel at the link in our bio, and stop by Butterfly’s Rest at @800fifthseattle, now through October 15, to discover what’s blooming Downtown.

Our Lake City pop-ups are coming to a close, but you can still find us in the neighborhood!

Our newest initiative, @ReuseCommons—in partnership with @SeattleREconomy , @Seattle_Public_Utilities, @LakeCityBA—is a one-year pilot designed to assess the feasibility of a shared, community-centered circular economy hub.

We’re grateful to everyone who has welcomed us into the neighborhood since our expansion in early 2025, and we’re excited to share that the Office of Economic Development (@seattleeconomy) is exploring new ways to continue bringing creative, community-focused opportunities to Lake City.

Be sure to stop by @we.fix.old.stuff and @goodolfactorycandles before their activations wrap up this month!

📍 Step inside Anh Ơi Bake Shop, where every bite tells a story.

We recently sat down with Vince Vu, founder of Anh Ơi Bake Shop, a Seattle Restored pop-up bringing Vietnamese-American bakes and a collaborative vision to Seattle’s Japantown.

Rooted in the belief that food can carry memory, identity, and community, @ohanhoi serves humble, classic flavors inspired by Vince’s childhood while creating a platform for local Asian-American bakers, artists, and makers to share their craft.

More than a bakery, Anh Ơi is building a space where every product has a real person and story behind it, inviting visitors to connect through food, memory, and culture.
