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...

 

Bamboo Dreams® Sophie Wrap

 

 Bamboo Dreams® Laurel Long Sleeve Wrap

 Bamboo Dreams® Short Skirt

Bamboo Dreams® Tea Length Skirt

 Bamboo Dreams® Cropped Leggings

Other shops in the complex include: 

1. Perfect Fit: A fine lingerie boutique offering luxurious sleepwear, fashion-forward intimate apparel and comfortable basics.  
2. Comfort & Joy: A warm and welcoming boutique focused on the needs of pregnant women, new moms and babies.  
3. Lily and Pearl: A distinctly elegant departure from the traditional hospital gift shop. 
4. Flex Space: A multi-use space to gather, learn and stay strong in both mind and body.  
5. Café 1910: Named for the year that Swedish Hospital was founded, Café 1910 features a diverse menu with healthy eating the priority — there are no fryers or soda machines.
6. Adventure Kids Playcare: A unique drop-in childcare and entertainment center for kids ages 6 weeks to 12 years old.
7. Starbucks: Swedish/Issaquah will have a full-service Starbucks coffee shop opening in the new facility.

We are very excited to continue working with The Shops at Swedish in the future and commend them for all of the wonderful work they are doing to help people while being environmentally conscious.

Win a $100 Yala Gift Card at the Conservation Celebration Hosted by Southern Oregon Land Conservancy!

 

Yala knows how important it is to give back, especially when we are lucky to live in such a diverse ecosystem as beautiful Southern Oregon. We are fortunate enough to pay it forward to a variety of organizations and causes, see "We Support" on our website for a list, locally and abroad.

Pilot Rock in Southern Oregon

The Southern Oregon Land Conservancy is especially close to our hearts, working to protect many unique and irreplaceable land marks found between the beautiful Rogue River, Crater Lake, an awe-inspiring coastline and massive caves, right in our backyard!

Working exclusively in Southern Oregon since 1978, they have conserved 44 extraordinary properties - over 8,300 acres in total. "We’re working with our partners to help secure a bright future for all residents of Southern Oregon. Our conservation work is done on a completely voluntary basis by helping landowners permanently protect signature lands. Of course, not every piece of land needs safeguarding by a land trust like us, but many beautiful places will be lost forever without our leadership," says the Southern Oregon Land Conservancy.

2011 marks their 33rd year as Southern Oregon's regional land trust, now that is call for celebration! Join them at Paschal Winery on Saturday evening, September 10th from 7-10pm for a fun filled evening.

• Hors D’oeuvres by Helena Darling featuring local favorites (check out her Dry-Cured Rosemary Turkey  recipe featured in Sunset Magazine)

• Complimentary Paschal Wine
• Live Jazz performed by Ed Dunsavage and Joe Cohoon
• A silent auction featuring over 100 donated items from local and regional businesses
• A live auction to benefit our beautiful local landscape (Conserve land for only $150/acre!)

Some of the auction items include: complete Lasik Surgery at the Medical Eye Center, weekend at La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Zipline Course for Two at Out-n-About Treehouse Resort, $100 Gift Certificate at the Peerless Restaurant, and a $100 dollar Gift Certificate to our very own Yala (among many more)!

Summer For Kids - An Environmentally Sound & Socially Conscious Children’s Store

Located on the sunny California coast, Summer for Kids is a specialty children's store that prides itself on carrying merchandise that is both safe for children and environmentally friendly, including our very own Yala products.

"The main focus of our store is on organic, natural and safe products (matresses, furniture, baby/toddler, apparel from Yala, etc.). As far as children's toys I make sure they are high quality, safe and creative so we can raise smart children!" says Adrianna Shuman, store owner. Watch the video below to see what their store looks like on the inside...



Adrianna personally adores many of Yala's pieces, stating, "I LOVE the Bamboo Dreams®
Kai Top and Cropped Leggings." Great pick! Two versatile and fun pieces that are a must in every woman's closet! They recently started carrying our Bamboo Dreams® Mia Tunic from Yala's fall line.

Summer for Kids is well known for their non-profit organization, For All the Children. All of the store's profits as well as 100% of Adrianna's salary are donated to benefit local children's charities in Santa Barbara. "My husband and I decided to give to charities the year after we opened, mainly to raise awareness about child abuse and to help needy children in general. I have been involved with CALM and Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, we try to help as much as we can" says Adrianna.
