Queen Bee

The Queen Bee is located in the Pacific Northwest just 40 miles north of Seattle in the historic city of Snohomish

Regarded as the “Antique Capital of the Northwest”, Snohomish’s many antique shops, boutiques and specialty stores are nestled in a well preserved community of Victorian and early 1900’s homes.

A visit to Queen Bee will reveal owner Deborah Gordon’s influence with her rich upbringing from her European mother. An early appreciation for the arts was complemented with afternoon espresso long before Starbucks was in fashion.

Remaining true to her roots, Deborah’s store conveys a decidedly European flavor; Queen Bee’s heart seems to long after the boulevards of Paris.

Step through the door and you are greeted with tangible smells of spice framed by walls of ebony. You’re likely to uncover a vintage treasure in an artful display or an unexpected find in each visit. Throughout the store you will find antique display pieces with whimsical touches that set Queen Bee apart from the rest.
