The retailer will celebrate by hosting an in-store party on Nov. 9.
Designers Toby Pomeroy and Sarah Graham will showcase a number of their pieces at the store throughout the day, beginning at 10:30 a.m.
Blue Heron will close from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. to prepare for the anniversary festivities, and will then reopen from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the party, where they also will unveil newly designed pieces by company founder Leo Fried.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony, courtesy of the Greater Poulsbo Chamber of Commerce, will take place at 5:15 p.m.
