Beng-Imm Low, owner of the Vashon Tea Shop, says a longtime Islander has signed an agreement to purchase her small shop in the heart of Vashon town.

The deal hasn’t closed, and until it does, she said, she can’t reveal the new owner’s name. Even so, she said, things look positive, and she’s pleased.

“It’s going to remain a tea shop,” Low said. “I’m totally relieved and delighted.”
