    Before I had even decided to use them I had called to ask about a different printing problem I had. The thing I was struck by was they actually took the time to help me, and they spoke coherently and rationally. Then they gave me the name of some one near by who could do what I needed. Later when I was searching for someone to do the printing, they once again answered all my questions and were once again quite helpful. I decided and this was not a hard choice because during the week I had been to several other copy places, I decided to have them do the work. Again I was not disappointed. Very Good.

History

Established in 1983.

When Patty Carlisle and Karen Jensen met working at a chain print shop in 1980, they daydreamed about the working conditions and business practices they would implement if they ran their own shop.

Three years later, they put those ideas into practice when they opened Urban Press in the basement of their Capitol Hill home. Urban went on to occupy two different storefronts on "the hill" for the next 18 years - becoming a fixture in Seattle's LGBT and non-profit communities.

In 2000 the business was displaced from the Capitol Hill neighborhood and found refuge from high rents in Georgetown. After one final move, Urban Press found a permanent home at 317 South Bennett Street in August 2008.

Urban has a diverse customer base that includes law firms, landscape architects, and labor unions - but the shop has made its biggest impact among small non-profit organizations.
