Julep Nail Parlor in Downtown Seattle

With Sex in the City being the number one movie this past weekend, it is timely to mention that Julep Nail Parlor’s new downtown location is finally open. Jane Park, owner and CEO, writes that opening her second location feels similar to having a second child. “Having our first child made us parents, having our second child made us a family. It was the tipping point where the whole became a stronger separate entity that I felt a stronger, separate responsibility to define, grow and nurture (aside from the parental obligations of nurturing each individual child),” Jane wrote on Julep’s blog. Unlike many other nail parlors in Seattle, Julep stands out by having their very own bar, a Manicure Bar. A good idea for ladies that want to get manicures during their lunch hours or while shopping with their friends and still getting that urban vibe. Also, if you go before June 13th, you will be entered to win a pair of Manolos and tickets to the new Sex in the City movie.

Boren Avenue / Madison Street Paving Project

The Boren Avenue / Madison Street Paving Project which started in late April, 2008, will continue until mid October, 2008.

The paving project is part of Seattle’s Bridging the Gap transportation initiative to keep Seattle moving by reducing its transportation maintenance backlog.

The project is scheduled to be completed in four phases:

1. Madison Street from 10th Avenue to 18th Avenue East (late April – mid June)
2. Madison from Terry Avenue to 10th Avenue (late May – mid July)
3. Boren Avenue from Broadway to Seneca Street (late June – late August)
4. Boren Avenue from Seneca Street to Denny Way

The city wants the public to be aware that there will be lane closures, traffic delays, pedestrian detours, parking restrictions, moderate noise, and dust.

Throughout the construction area there are signs indicating that businesses are open so, shoppers should not be discouraged by the construction.

Buses are continuing to pick up riders from their usual stops and this may cause more traffic delays within the construction areas. Alternate routes are recommended, if possible.
