Seldens Expands Presence in Bellevue
Seldens, a family-owned home furnishings and design consultation business serving the Pacific Northwest for over 80 years, is thrilled to announce its latest expansion with a new Bassett showroom in Bellevue. This exciting development follows the successful launch of the Tacoma Bassett showroom and adds to Seldens' established presence with three locations in Bellevue, Olympia, and Tacoma, along with two Summer House outdoor furniture showrooms acquired in 2022.
Bringing Quality Furnishings to Local Residents
The new showroom significantly enhances local residents' access to premium, customizable Bassett furniture options, personalized design consultations, and an enriching showroom experience. This aligns perfectly with Seldens' long-standing mission to serve its community in Puget Sound.
History and Heritage of Seldens
The roots of Seldens date back to 1940, when Syd Selden opened a floor-covering store in Tacoma. Over the decades, this family-run business evolved into a destination renowned for quality furnishings and design expertise, now led by third and fourth-generation owners Scott Selden, Loni Selden Cross, Jake Cross, and Nick Selden.
“Our objective is to make furnishing a home both personalized and effortless,” remarked Jake Cross. “For decades, we’ve been honored to partner with our clients in creating spaces they love. By expanding in Bellevue, we aim to offer families here a chance to experience our personalized service and Bassett’s commitment to quality.”
Expansion Driven by Community Needs
Recognizing a shared mission and values between Seldens and Bassett Furniture, the first Tacoma Bassett showroom was opened in 2000. This location has thrived over the years, delivering beautifully crafted, American-made furniture alongside trusted design support.
Supporting Recent Changes in the Market
Recently, separate Bassett locations in Redmond and Tukwila closed their doors, prompting Seldens to step in and ensure continued support for clients by establishing a welcoming Bassett showroom in Bellevue.
“Bassett furniture customers seek comfortable, functional pieces that express their personal style,” Scott Selden shared. “At Seldens, we understand that our clients also desire sustainable craftsmanship, timeless designs, and reliable customer service. We are excited to bring this level of care to the Bellevue community.”
New Showroom Features and Offerings
The Bellevue showroom will be home to an extensive selection of American-made, customizable Bassett furniture, supplemented by Seldens' signature design services. Current clients of the Redmond and Tukwila Bassett showrooms can rest assured that their service needs will be met with exceptional care, while new Bellevue clients will enjoy a fresh, inviting showroom experience.
Commitment to the Community
The Selden family is deeply committed to supporting their local community. They actively engage with initiatives such as community campaigns for childhood cancer research and partnerships with local organizations, including initiatives like Coat Drive for Kids, which collaborates with local police.
Exciting Grand Opening on the Horizon
The new Bassett showroom in Bellevue, located at 11919 N.E. 8th St., is set to open soon, with a grand celebration planned shortly thereafter. Clients can look forward to enjoying a beautifully designed showroom that showcases the best of American craftsmanship and customization.
