We hear a lot of you telling us that North Bend is just too far to go -- but we're really not as far as you might think we are! Just because you go out towards the mountains, on a lovely scenic drive doesn't mean you've gone to the boonies! In reality, we're less than 50 minutes away from most anywhere in the Pacific Northwest! Most of you spend more time than that on your daily commute to the rat race!

From Tacoma: 48 Minutes! 43 Miles!
From Puyallup: Only 45 minutes and 40 Miles!
From Federal Way: Just 42 minutes and 37 miles!
From Auburn: A mere 33 minutes or 30 miles!
From Kent: 38 minutes! 28 Miles!
From Bellevue: A scant 27 minute drive! Only 25 miles!
From Lynnwood: Only 47 minutes or 44 miles!
From Seattle: Average only 48 minutes or 43 miles!

Don't forget that we have the outlet mall and several great downtown shops and restaurants off the beaten path! We also have lots of great hiking trails too! You could truly spend a day here in the fresh mountain air - it would be good for you! Just don't forget to sign up for a class at PWA too! Ü

PWA celebrates our birthday every spring, and this year we will have four candles on our cake! Our annual retreat in April has become a do not miss event!

Would you like to spend an entire weekend just crafting the time away? Have all your food prepared for you, be entertained from time to time, go shopping, take a nap, or do whatever your heart desires? It doesn't get any better than this!

Be sure to check out our upcoming classes! We have some amazing things coming in the next several weeks! "Antique" Keepsake Boxes, Shaker Cubes (shown here), Cards that Suprise and more!
