Used to use their paints all the time - locally made and excellent quality. Met Walter a few times. From The Seattle Times:
Longtime Seattle paint supplier Daly’s ends in the red
Longtime local home design store Daly’s Paint and Decorating has closed its doors in Seattle and Bellevue, leaving unpaid debts and nearly $87,800 in customer deposits for orders that have gone unfilled.
An attorney for the company laid blame for the company’s demise at the feet of the usual suspects: “Digital shopping and big box stores rule,” said Tom Olson of law firm Helsell Fetterman.
A bit more:
No one answered the phone at Daly’s Seattle store on Stone Way North – where founder Walter Daly set up shop in the late 1940s. A recording directed people to the company’s website, which reads:
“Dear Customers, Daly’s is closed. Thank you for 80 colorful years in Seattle and 57 in Bellevue. It was our pleasure to work with so many of you over the years.”
Sad to see them go - a Seattle institution. Website is here: Daily's Paint
