Scout & Molly’s boutique opens in Old Ballard

In the space between the Other Coast Cafe and Re-soul, a new boutique has opened for business in Old Ballard (at 5317 Ballard Ave NW).

Scout & Molly’s features upscale women’s fashion “tailored to the distinct style of Seattle” and a team of personal stylists to attend to shoppers. It’s the first Seattle outpost for the boutique, which has a few dozen stores nationwide.

The Ballard shop is owned by Magnolia residents Marc & Nikki Harpster.

“Part of the mission of Scout & Molly’s founder Lisa Kornstein is to establish meaningful relationships with long-term clients and become a trusted resource for local shoppers,” said Nikki Harpster. “We aim to make every woman who walks in feel like they’re shopping with their best friends, and we focus on personal touches such as a phone call to let you know a new shipment from your favorite brand just arrived.”

While the shop has quietly opened, the Harpsters invite neighbors to attend its official grand opening on Saturday, February 24th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for music, snacks and raffle prizes.
