Yala Partners with The Shops at Swedish in the Swedish/Issaquah Medical Center
The Shops at Swedish are located in Issaquah Washington within the Swedish/Issaquah Medical Center Campus. We found this medical center particularly interesting to learn about because of their 'green' approach to creating the most energy-efficient medical complex in the region.
The planning team used computer simulation models to assist in creating an efficient building envelope, setting insulation requirements for walls and ceilings, and selecting highly efficient heating/cooling equipment and lighting systems to maximize energy performance. Patients and employees of Swedish/Issaquah enjoy the benefits of a vibrant medical campus grounded in sustainable, environmentally friendly values and practices.
The Shops at Swedish were incorporated into the medical center to enhance the patient experience. This distinctive retail destination is unmatched in the Northwest. Located in the heart of the Swedish/Issaquah campus, the Shops at Swedish bring together exceptional health and wellness products, unique gifts and personalized services in a refined setting.
Yala is proud to be carried in their Be Well shop, a wellness boutique designed to support healthy lifestyles. If you have the opportunity to visit the shop you will find Yala favorites such as...

Yala's Holiday Dinner at the Ashland Springs Hotel
Yala's holiday party is something everyone looks forward to all year long! Founder Nancy always picks a beautiful venue with delicious food and amazing wine. This year we were fortunate to gather in the Crystal Room at the Ashland Springs Hotel. The chef at the hotel won the local Food and Wine competition that took place in November, and the food was AMAZING!

Bran, Nancy and Naomi
Rachel and Tif
Grant and Erin
The holiday party is a good excuse for us to get all dressed up and bring that special person in our lives to meet and mingle with each other. Everyone is close both in and out of work, and the holiday party is a welcome occasion to relax and enjoy ourselves!

Hot Toddy vs Hot Cocoa, Bamboo vs Silk...
With two more days to go of our Yaladay Sheet Set Giveaway, Bamboo Sheets and Hot Cocoa are winning by a long shot! I think it's safe to say that Yala customers LOVE their BambooDreams Sheets and Hot Cocoa!
Have you entered the giveaway?
Post on our Facebook wall if you prefer Hot Cocoa or Hot Toddy and Bamboo Sheets or Silk Sheets. The winner will pick his/her sheets of choice on Friday!
Some things just get better with wear and age. Our sheets made of 100% Viscose from Bamboo are no exception. The more you use them and wash them, the softer they become. We don’t add anti-wrinkling agents or chemicals, either. As in life, a few wrinkles are just part of the experience. Once you’ve had our Bamboo Dreams sheets, you’ll never go back. Machine wash and dry. That’s all the care they need.
Pure luxury -- there’s a reason silk was the Emperor’s fabric. Sleep like royalty in our pure Silk Habotai Sheets. Silk thread surpasses the highest cotton thread count, so our Silk Habotai Sheets will keep you both cool and warm in heavenly comfort. Not that the Emperor had to worry about this, but they are durable and machine washable too, with a texture closer to suede than slippery. These Silk Habotai Sheets make the ultimate gift – but don’t forget to indulge yourself too. At the end of the day, you deserve it!
