That’s too bad. It was a cool shop when I visited it 20+ years ago. I bought a Chinese elm and a pot there, still have the pot and a cutting from the tree. Their web presence was always lacking, which is disappointing, but not uncommon in this hobby. Hope the new owners have good success.

Brian, John said he will still be in a wholesale business of providing pre-bonsai material. He said he thought 38 years of retail was long enough. We all wish the new owners much success. We have to wait to see where they locate.

I've only been up to Seattle a couple of times - I feel like I missed out

It was my go to spot in Seattle for pre-bonsai material. Wish I'd heard sooner or I'd of grabbed more JBP seedlings. Wife swung through and was kind enough to video chat me and pick up a shimpaku.
