Seekers Bookshop held a soft opening over the weekend in Colville, Wash., the Spokesman-Review reported.
The bookstore carries general-interest titles for all ages. Alongside books, owners Lisa and Buddy Wilson offer crystals, meditation supplies, candles, jewelry, and other nonbook items. Their event plans include book clubs, author signings, and cooking classes that will be held in a kitchen space that is still under renovation.
Seekers Bookshop resides in a building at 270 S. Main St. that the Wilsons purchased two years ago. It was built in the early 20th century and required significant reinforcement work before the Wilsons could begin renovations for the bookstore.
"We love bookstores," Buddy Wilson told the Spokesman-Review. "They're a good place to hang out, and it seemed like that was one of the things that Colville needed."
"If this can connect people to more books and more worldviews in a small town, I think that that's super important for the world we live in today," said Lisa Wilson.
