The Drydown is planning its second location at Central Peak Residences, a 26-unit condominium development by Cordillera Homes in downtown Kirkland, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal. The boutique will occupy a ground-floor retail space.

The developer expects The Drydown and fellow tenant Hako San Café & Bar to open around July 2027, when residents are scheduled to begin moving into the building. An exact opening date has not been announced.

Founded by Shaya Assareh, The Drydown opened its first boutique in Carlsbad, California, in 2025. The Kirkland store will be its second location.

The boutique carries fragrances from 45 independent perfume houses worldwide, including d’Annam, House of Bō, Imaginary Authors, and Essential Parfums. At its Carlsbad location, customers can discover different scent families, try fragrances from bottles on display, and purchase samples before choosing a full-size bottle.

The Carlsbad store also offers private shopping appointments with the founder and hands-on perfume-making classes. Details about the experiences planned for the Kirkland location have not yet been announced.
