Need Attorny & Contractor

Drum roll please.....I'm proud to say that bouncing wall finally got a retail space! The upper Queen Anne space is finally mine and I feel like I won a contest because I beat out over 150 people to get it. . Now that the good news is here, my mind is flooded with the details I have to take care of.

Sooo question...anyone have a good reference for a property attorny and/or a building contractor who's licensed, permitted and bonded that could start a project in the next 2 weeks? Help!! Thanks all!

Opportunity to Sell Stuff

UPDATE:
THE TENTS ARE NOW FREE - THEY JUST WANT 20% OF SALES -
Hey girls,
A friend of mine that I used to row with passed on an opportunity to rent a tent at this year's National Regatta at Greenlake. She was interested in me selling artwork, but then I thought what a perfect opportunity it would be to sell Petaline stuff.
The tents are spendy - the costs range from 10x10 tent w/sides (2 tables/2 chairs) for $600/4 days, a 10x20 tent w/sides (3 tables/2chairs)for $850/4 days, or bringing your own 10x10 or 10x20 tent for $450/$650 (4 days) (they'll provide tables/chairs). That breaks down to (depending on size of tent) about $112/day - $212/day.
BUT you can share the tent with maybe 1-3 other people? If it was a smaller tent it might be tight with 4 people. Also, I think Leslie is up for renting for only one day, if she can find people to rent it the rest of the weekend.
I would like to only do one day myself, and sharing, so I only had to pay like $50 or less.
But maybe some of you might be interested? The dates are Aug 10th-13th.
The benefits - the National Regatta is not here every year, so you have a ton of people from around the nation wanting to by stuff (there's lot's of down time between races). It's also at Greenlake, so you have all the Greenlake people. So there's a lot of people.
I'm interested in going to just spread the word of Petaline (and of course to sell stuff would be great too).
Let me know if this sounds like something you're interested in.

Web Designer for Women-Owned Businesses

Hey ladies. I was looking around Persnkickity Designs: persnickitydesign.com (Karin & Alison...if you haven't found these guys yet, they are from Bellingham and makes cool purses)and they advertized that they had a newweb designer so I went to check it out. They used the services of Camille Pietralunga:pietraweb.com and she specializes in designing websites for women-owned businesses. I thought it was great and wanted to share it with you guys to keep the girl power alive and provide business opportunities to others supporting women like us. I know we're getting a class on our next meeting but incase anyone was looking to get a professional designer, she maybe worthwhile checking out.
