Pop-up shops are on the rise in Seattle, and Ballard is home to a new one called Anima Mundi, located at 5404 22nd Ave NW. As Anima Mundi describes, pop-up shops occupy a retail space that is available for long-term lease, “helping keep the block filled and allowing potential tenants to walk through and see if the space meets their needs.” They say they hope to find a small Ballard storefront near the current pop-up shop, and are using the pop-up to introduce Ballard to the new store. Pop-up shops also help landlords, “keep their retail districts vibrant instead of dark and vacant,” says Anima Mundi.
Anima Mundi sells “‘worldwise’ handmade and vintage items for home and life.” Their store hours are Thursday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and by appointment.
