Veritables, the home furnishings and gift shop at 10220 Main Street, will shut its doors Oct. 15 after 18 years in Old Bellevue.

Owner Marie Harris said the building's ownership decided to redevelop the property. The storefront sits on the block slated for North of Main, an eight-story, 176-unit apartment project from Vander Hoek Corporation at Main Street and 103rd Avenue Northeast.

Harris announced the closing on the store's Instagram account, writing that the redevelopment decision was out of her hands.

She invited shoppers to come in for a deal, share memories and have a glass of bubbles during the final weeks, according to Downtown Bellevue.

"This is not the last chapter," Harris wrote on Instagram on Sept. 14. She said she plans to take time off, travel on buying trips for pop-ups and scout a new location. No pop-up timeline has been set.

A closing sale began Sept. 14 with the entire store marked down 50 percent or more. The shop is open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., through its final day.

Veritables is the latest longtime merchant pushed off the block by the North of Main project. Plans submitted to the city call for 176 market-rate apartments, 10,363 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 154 parking stalls on roughly 0.71 acres.

All existing structures on the site are set to be removed. No demolition or construction start date has been confirmed publicly.

La Ree Boutique, an upscale women's clothing store founded by Rachael Nov, closed Sept. 25, 2025, after 20 years on the same block.

The shop ended with a farewell gathering for longtime customers. Nov's fine jewelry store, Gin & The Banker, remains open on Main Street.

Glassybaby, which sold hand-blown glass votives at 10230 Main Street for more than 15 years, said in July that it was leaving for Design Market on 116th Avenue Northeast across from Overlake Hospital.

Glassybaby had operated on Main Street since October 2009. The Design Market location gives the retailer a larger footprint.

The store expanded to the Eastside in 2008 and had been a regular stop on the Old Bellevue wine walk, most recently in May.

The Bellevue City Council voted unanimously to extend temporary development rules for Old Bellevue's Main Street through February 2027, according to a July 20 report from Downtown Bellevue on the North of Main project.
