After nearly six years in Wallingford, the legendary gift shop, Not A Number, has moved on. While owners Kara Ceriello and John DeLeeuw originally started the shop on Queen Anne, they looked toward Ballard for relocation.

Now that summertime distractions have waned, a Taiji & Qigong class is an ideal way to find the ‘inner tortoise’ while working legs hard, softening chronic tension patterns and coaxing the mind to give us a break from the constant chatter of a hectic life. At Karen Collins Taijiquan & Qigong, at 222 Etruria St, #200 (on the south side of the Fremont Bridge) classes will start soon – some this week – in this proven mind-body fitness practice.
