About Us: Discover the Heart of Edmonds at Bench & Board
Welcome to Bench & Board, where creativity, community, and craftsmanship come together in the charming town of Edmonds, WA. Nestled in the heart of this vibrant seaside city, our shop offers a unique selection of gifts and artworks that are as diverse and dynamic as the people who make them.
Our Story
Bench & Board is the realization of a dream to own a business by our founder, Jill, and her husband Shannon. Jill is an accomplished artist who is known for her botanical and bird art. Her husband Shannon is a proud Army veteran and graduate of the USMA at West Point. We opened our gift shop in 2021 where the love for art, community, design, and gift giving intertwine.
Our Mission
At Bench & Board, we believe that every gift tells a story, and we are dedicated to curating a collection that reflects the individuality and spirit of our community. Our mission is to provide a warm, welcoming environment where you can find meaningful, one-of-a-kind items that celebrate the beauty and creativity of Edmonds.
What We Offer
Our shelves are filled with unique, handcrafted items that make perfect gifts for any occasion. From locally made jewelry, garden gear, home decor to artisan soaps and candles, we have something for everyone.
As an artist-owned shop, we proudly feature original artwork by Jill Hall and other talented local artists. Discover paintings, mixed media, and prints that capture the essence of Edmonds and the Pacific Northwest.
Looking for something truly special? We offer custom creations that can be personalized to suit your needs. Whether it is a commissioned painting or a bespoke gift basket, we are here to help bring your vision to life.
Our community
We are more than just a gift shop; we are a part of the Edmonds community. We are members of the Chamber of Commerce, Edmonds Downtown Business Improvement District, and the local VFW 8870. We host an annual giving tree. Last year we collected holiday gifts for the Domestic Violence Service of Snohomish County and Mary's Place. We support the local food bank with a wreath fundraiser as well.
