					<description><![CDATA[We are moving! Details inside…]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heads up! We are moving out of our downtown Everett location. Our last day there will be Tuesday, March 25. <strong>We are not closing!</strong> Here’s the plan:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Near term:</strong> We will be online-only, selling all the same great teas &#038; spices at <a href="https://chaicupboard.com/shop/" target="_new">ChaiCupboard.com/shop</a> with local pickup, local delivery, or shipping.</li>
<li><strong>Long term:</strong> We plan to renovate our basement into a cozy shop + cafe, adding a full hot drink menu to our offerings, and a new neighborhood gathering place.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Read on below for the full details.</strong></p>

<h2>Online-only… for a while</h2>
<p>In the immediate future, we will be online-only. All of our inventory is already available right now at <a href="https://chaicupboard.com/shop/" target="_new">ChaiCupboard.com/shop</a>. We currently offer free local pickup, and will continue to offer that option at our home (pictured above) just south of downtown Everett at 36th &#038; Wetmore.</p>
<p>Once we close the downtown space we will also offer <strong>free delivery</strong> to the 98201 and 98203 zip codes and a small $5 delivery fee to 98204, 98208, 98205, and 98270. USPS shipping is always available as well. All of the details about pickup and delivery options will be on the website at <a href="https://chaicupboard.com/shipping/" target="_new">ChaiCupboard.com/shipping</a> and displayed during the checkout process.</p>
<p>If you have a gift card (physical or digital), don’t worry! You’ll be able to use it on our website, even if your card says “valid in-store only.”</p>

<h2>Neighborhood shop + café</h2>
<p>The City of Everett is close to finalizing their <a href="https://www.everettwa.gov/2812/Everett-2044" target="_new">“Comprehensive Plan” (a.k.a. “Everett 2044”)</a>, which currently includes a provision that will allow us to open the full shop in our home, and even expand to include drinks and food. If that passes, we will begin renovations to the basement of our home into a full shop and café space with its own entrance directly from the sidewalk.</p>
<p>If you live here in Everett and you’d like to help make sure this happens, you can <strong>fill out the city’s <a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=qSLEei38uEGb_wZKry6wxCSptZQDWsJAm5dIVEvJe95UQjNHU0Q1UjlVV1ZVSDgzUDJLUVdQMzhKTS4u&#038;route=shorturl" target="_new">Everett 2044 survey</a></strong> and/or <a href="https://www.everettwa.gov/citycouncil" target="_new">contact your city councilperson</a> and express your support for the provision in the <a href="https://www.everettwa.gov/DocumentCenter/View/40804/2025-02-10-Urban-form-goals-policies-actions-Early-Council-Package?bidId=" target="_new">Urban Form part of the plan</a> that “provide[s] opportunities for small-scale commercial, and community uses within residential neighborhoods on corner lots.”</p>
