The Hill is Alive and Well! 

Seattle's latest boutique, Alive and Well, premieres with a bang tomorrow at 11:00a.m. in the old punctuation art gallery on Pike. Marcus Lalario of Lil Woody's, HG Lodge, Captain Blacks and various other ventures is partnering with George Otto and Steve Gonzales on this "Northwest-centric skate shop."

“We have love and respect for our city and its culture,” said Marcus Lalario. “Alive and Well will showcase the very best of the Northwest, and beyond.”

I got a little preview of the space and I'm excited to see the finished product tomorrow. Check it out:

Alive and Well is for the man who knows his brands. Along with an in-house line, the shop will feature Sausage Skateboards, Nike SB, Black Scale, Converse, Adidas and Seattle's Actual Pain.

Sorry for the bad pic! The team is already has collaborations in the works with many of the brands they carry. This deck is a HUF x Haroshi collaboration - and Alive and Well is just one of 16 retailers in the world to carry the collection! I want this. I pinned this image a couple of weeks ago!

"We’ve got some great things in the works,” said Steve Gonzales, who also serves as Youth Program Coordinator for the Bellevue Parks Department. “Funneling money back into our community is important.” One way will be through their Seattle Legends collection, which includes this amazing hoodie & hat:

Alive and Well opens at 11:00a.m. with DJs  BlesOne, Sean Cee, Cherry Canoe, Astronomar, and Lacao Time spinning throughout the day. You can shop Monday through Saturday 11:00a.m. - 8:00p.m. and Sunday 12:00 - 6:00p.m.
