ust off of Snohomish’s bustling First Avenue is a picturesque storefront painted in serene tones of blue and green. Above the door, a sign announces in cheerful cursive and delicate capital letters: Maple + Moss Boutique.

But the on-trend styles are youthful and pretty, giving the clothes a freshness that is anything but old-fashioned.
