Local woman brings new life and style to downtown Puyallup

When Ashley Walton moved home to Puyallup after college, she promptly decided to take an alternative approach to the traditional job search process.

Walton, who graduated in August from Western Washington University with a degree in communications, has opened a consignment shop.

“I started to send out resumes, but I was like, ‘I like thrift shopping and coffee, how can I turn this into a job?’” Walton said.
