Upper Playground is opening a new storefront in Seattle’s University District. The new store marks the second Upper Playground retail establishment in the Pacific Northwest after the 2006 opening of Upper Playground Portland and fine art gallery FIFTY24PDX. In celebration of the new store, there will be a variety of events held the weekend of September 19th including live art installations and an in-store appearance by photographer/director Estevan Oriol. Oriol will be signing advance copies of his 2009 calendar and items from his Estevan Oriol sub-line.

New Seattle specific Upper Playground product will also be available. Check for that after the jump.
