Mary Weasley, affectionately known as “Miss Mary,” pioneered the first-ever Black-owned floral shop in Seattle’s Central District. 🌺⁠ ⁠ Since 1984, Miss Mary has flourished as a dedicated business owner, offering exceptional community services.⁠ ⁠ "My husband at the time would love to give me flowers, and one I had to send back — I just rejected it because it was done so poorly,” Weasley said.⁠ ⁠ "Then I started thinking, 'We need a flower shop.' We’re not just going to have somebody dump anything over on us. I’m going to give my customers what they’re buying, and not garbage."⁠ ⁠ Over the past 40 years, Weasley has created bouquets for all occasions throughout Seattle and beyond, including the Seattle Mariners and Liza Minelli. ⁠ ⁠ Before transitioning into entrepreneurship, Weasley spent 29 years working at Boeing. She views Flowers Just-4-U as her retirement plan and shows no signs of slowing down. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio for more. // #Seattle #CentralDistrict #BlackOwned
