about us

At Childish Things, we believe childhood should be full of magic—and that shopping for your little ones should be thoughtful, joyful, and sustainable.

As a woman-owned business in Seattle, we’re proud to offer a curated selection of quality children’s clothing, toys, and gear, all with a focus on community, conscious consumption, and circular fashion. We carefully choose what we carry to reflect our values: supporting small makers and brands we admire, encouraging resale and reuse, and creating a welcoming, inclusive space for families.

With decades of experience in the apparel and retail industries, we bring a deep love for great design, exceptional service, and meaningful connection. Our goal is to help families find beautiful things that last—while doing good for the planet and the people around us.

Thank you for supporting local, shopping secondhand, and being part of our community. Together, we’re building a better world for the next generation.

    With a background in apparel design, merchandising, and product development, Becky brings a lifelong passion for creativity and craftsmanship to Childish Things. She’s been sewing since childhood and dreamed of owning a store that combined her love for vintage, design, and community. When she’s not at the shop, she’s with her husband and two young kids—likely listening to an audiobook while sewing, with pets close by.

    Tracy began her career as a buyer for a Seattle-based fashion retailer and spent decades in children’s product development and merchandising. Her deep experience in kids’ retail and passion for sustainability inspired her to take the leap into small business ownership. She loves thrifting, making jewelry, and hanging out with her husband and their two daughters, both proud Huskies at the University of Washington.
