King resident Maggie Bermingham has secured a space for her new swap-and-play near NE Alberta Street in part of the former Victory Outreach Church building. The non-profit will provide a play space and an exchange for children’s clothes and other items. Parents will purchase memberships and will be able to drop in during open hours. The organization is officially known as the Northeast Family Cooperative (or NE Family Co-op is fine) and the space will be referred to as the Swap and Play Cafe, 4932 NE 30th, 97211 (half block from Alberta).

The Co-op will start enrolling members starting Sept. 15th and the cafe will be open Oct. 1st. There will be open house hours in October so people can stop by and check it out. The open house hours will be listed on the website which should go live very soon. Website address is www.nefamilycoop.wordpress.com
Until that time, people can email questions or comments to nefamilycoop@gmail.com
