Aslan's Too

We are discontinuing laundry bins as space was needed for storage & incoming donations are carefully checked eliminating the need for saving items needing to be laundered.  A special thanks of gratitude to BCS parent & preschool teacher Peggy Smit, who has been our laundry lady for years. Furniture is selling well & our display area is looking meager.  Quality furniture items to donate or consign? Please call us: 425.485.5401.
