I don’t know how I’ve gone so long without hearing about Creation Station.
Billed as a “unique blend of recycling and retail,” this inspired Lynnwood locale is part craft store, part art studio.
It supplies “surplus and recycled materials to teachers, students, artists, inventors, scientists, engineers and all those who love to create and dream,” but its also a studio space geared toward hosting birthday parties, field trips and crafter gatherings.
Creation Station works with Puget Sound businesses and manufacturers to “divert tons of material each month” that would normally be destined for the landfill. Old film cans, mosaic glass, leather insoles, sticky foam, plastic pellets and random tubes, it turns out, make ideal art-project materials.
It seems like a great rainy-day place to check out.
Here’s a story from our sister paper, The Enterprise, about Creation Station and two other groovy places for creative kids.
