Mom Laura Herro and daughter Taylor at Laura’s shop, Nothing to Wear clothing boutique. She offers spray tanning and an exclusive line of women’s clothing, Hardtail.
If you can relate to the sign outside—“Nothing to Wear,” the name of Laura Herro’s recently opened clothing boutique in downtown Snoqualmie—then Herro is ready to change that.
“Every woman says, ‘I have nothing to wear,’” says Herro, a recent Valley transplant from the Midwest.
Pointing out dresses, yoga wear, then picking up a black jacket, she explains, “this is something you can wear every day, if you’re a businesswoman or a stay-at-home mom.”

Conversation corner: Update for North Bend Bar and Grill’s 15th year | Slideshow
Upscale, yet homey, is how manager Liz Vollbrecht has always described the North Bend Bar and Grill.
The popular downtown hangout made a subtle update to its chalet feel last month, recently finishing an upgrade that added a few new features to its dining area and lounge.
Extra table and booth space were added to the lounge area, while a nook with seating around a fireplace and widescreen television were put on a blank rear wall. Staff refer to this area as the “conversation corner.” It’s meant to flow customers around the bar, and is one more warm, welcoming place for people to gather.
