Grady Britton gets a move on

What more fitting tribute to Labor Day weekend than... actual labor? After 18+ years on SW Washington, Grady Britton made the leap to Portland's bustling Eastside to SE Washington over the long weekend.

We've been looking to change things up in our workday world for a while now; the big yellow Olympic Mills building with its focus on sustainability and creative industry, alligned perfectly with where we wanted to be and what we wanted to associate ourselves with.

Months of preparation and packing – recycling and rehoming old materials – became a reality when the moving trucks pulled up. In true "because we can" fashion, several of us decided to make the adventure more adventurous by loading up bikes and bike trailers for the move across the river.

Still somewhat of a work in progress, our new space is awesome and promises to be a stimulating new environment for us to shape our next 30+ years! Progress reports to come... but meanwhile, check out a sampler of the activity.
