BALLARD, Wash. — A Ballard jewelry store was broken into this week – marking the 7th break-in within the past two years.Tarr said the break-in happened on Tuesday at about 3:30 a.m.
However, since opening during the pandemic, I’ve suffered 7 attempted break-ins. The last robbery left my store in ruins - shards of glass everywhere and many one-of-a-kind, extremely difficult-to-source jewelry pieces stolen. Our inventory was ransacked and we lost days of revenue to cleaning up. This kind of loss can’t be replaced by an insurance settlement. As a team, it’s extremely emotionally difficult to feel your space is violated.
She and the team coordinated clean-up efforts and insurance documentation while insisting I try to enjoy the rest of my rare vacation with my partner. We both work long hours and hadn’t had two days off together in almost 2 years. The team was amazing in supporting us in every way they could while we were away. Other business owners in the community responded with an outpouring of support for anything else we might have needed.
Several small-business owners told KIRO 7 News that they were also victims of similar crimes within the past two years, including Diane Macrae, owner of Venue.
