It’s Throwback Thursday! Today, we’re taking it back to December 2024 when WeRise Wines, a wine bar in downtown Seattle, celebrated its official opening day with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Bruce Harrell.

WeRise Wines, founded by Jamila Conley, recently hosted a networking mixer on the rooftop of the State Hotel in downtown Seattle. Conley, a former tech executive, started WeRise Wines to promote diversity within the wine industry and create generational wealth.
