Molly Brusewitz opened the Mad Cow Yarn Shop in September of 2016 on the upper level of Lake Forest Park Town Center, intersection of Bothell and Ballinger Way. She had been in business in Bothell since 2012.

It's a deliberately cozy shop, where people are encouraged to sit and knit.

Work table or break room depending on the day

There's a work table for large projects, complete with snacks.

Molly rose to the occasion for the Women's marches and gathered all the pink-hued yarn left in the shop on a big table in the front of the shop.

The shop is on the upper level of Town Center
