KGW Channel 8 Paid Us A Surprise Visit..

Portland’s KGW Channel 8 surprised us by popping in the store yesterday morning…They interviewed Red Light staff and customers for a news segment on second hand stores.

While the KGW crew originally planned to only film at the Goodwill boutique on Hawthorne, they were so intrigued by the crazy, fun looking store across the street (Red Light!) that they had to come over and check us out!

The segment aired on last night’s evening news, but you can watch it here at www.kgw.com.

Thanks for the surprise photo opp, guys!

Cat Adoption Team $1 Sale Was A Big Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and made our $1 Sale benefiting Cat Adoption Team (www.catadoptionteam.org) a big success! The beautiful, sunny morning made it all the more fun and we’re happy to be taking a wad of cash over to CAT later today.

100% of the proceeds from this sale are being given to the non-profit Cat Adoption Team. CAT is based in Portland and is the Northwest’s largest no-kill kitty shelter. Cat Adoption Team provides a lot of great services for area pet-owners, on top of operating their shelter – please check them out if you are looking for a new four-legged friend!

And if you missed yesterday’s $1 Sale, don’t worry…We’re hosting $1 Sales all summer long! Each Red Light $1 Sale benefits a different local non-profit that is important to Red Light staff and customers.

These “Shop Local, Support Local” $1 Sales are scheduled for the second and fourth Sunday of every month, June – August.
