30 Apr Friday Feature: Zulily

After featuring a lot of retail and ground level shops, I thought it was about time to feature one of our above-ground companies: Zulily

Zulily is an online store that offers crazy discounts (up to 70% off of retail) on items for moms, kids, and babies. Their buyers work hard to find local, organic, non-toxic items and feature 4 items at a time. Like other online sites, however, these sales are limited to 3 business days before they expire and new items are featured.

Zulily recently launched their website and opened their Pioneer Square office in late January of this year. Founded by two veterans of Blue Nile, they started with only 6 employees and have already expanded to a team of over 30. Because of their rapid growth, they just moved offices from 1st & Jackson to 3rd & Jackson.

Apparently on their 1st street location, they had caused a commotion by removing a huge stuffed animal giraffe from their window that people often took photos of. The building across the street missed it so much, they put signs up in their own windows requesting that the giraffe come back! (and as you can see, he is now joined by a dog at their new location).

When we talked about why they chose to open in Pioneer Square, they said that the neighborhood had a history of great start-ups and now that they’ve been around for a few months, there is definitely an energy that encourages them to get out of the office and explore food options during the day. What’s more exciting for them, however, is that they’re a self-described “transit-riding, bicycle-loving kind of a group” which is the perfect fit for Pioneer Square, one of the easiest neighborhoods to get to with transit.

To show their love for the rest of the neighborhood, they are offering a deal to the New Pioneer Square blog readers by offering a coupon code good for $10 off any purchase of $30 or more. Try it out this week before it expires! PSQ10 (code expires 5/7 and is only good for one per customer).

You can also check them out on Facebook, or get status updates on Twitter.
