> “It was decided”

Ah yes, definitely the language of an organization that totally wants to communicate with candor.

Also zero information about the new owners other than the name of a shell corp associated with an existing "EETree" company in Jiangsu, China that gets (mis?)represented as “a Washington State company”. Much honest, such wow. Sure, there's technically an LLC in Washington, but that's like calling pre-2020 Google "a Bermuda company" (which, tbf, is what Google did to avoid taxes via their Irish ~~subsidiary~~ "parent" company).

And still no information, remarks, or even acknowledgement for all the tindie sellers who’ve been unable to withdraw their funds.

The address listed at https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/ ( 1475 NW SWENSON CT, POULSBO, WA, 98370 ) is shown on Google Maps as just being a completely empty plot by 2026 aerial photography. There's no way a whole house was built in < 10 weeks and someone was actually living there on February 25, 2026 when that address became their legally official place to reach someone at the company.

It's probably illegal to list that as the address -- the whole point of having a "Registered Agent" for businesses is so that if someone needs to serve the business with legal papers (like Tindie sellers suing for not being able to access their funds) then there's an actual person at an actual place where legal documents can be legally served. If someone doesn't want to make their own address public or isn't actually located in the state, "renting" a proper registered agent only costs $125/year - it doesn't require much more than a glorified mail-forwarding service, they receive your documents, scan them, and email them to you and the courts are happy with that because the business officially got served. It's a bit hard to serve papers to an empty lot.

Not providing a real address where someone can be located is a pretty bad sign for how much this ownership intends to respect any US laws. It's also potentially in violation of RCW 23.95.405, .415, .605 and RCW 43.07.210 & RCW 40.16.030, with penalties up to 6 years of incarceration and/or $15,000 in fines, dissolution of the company, and (most relevant to anyone who can't withdraw their funds from Tindie) a loss of "limited liability" status making the owners/directors/officers personally responsible for anything the LLC owes to anyone.

On the plus side, this year is the first year since the 2023 incorporation that the mandatory annual report wasn't a delinquent filing.

The business has had 3 addresses filed for it since incorporation:

(2023-2024) Principal place of business (a townhome): 1605 S WASHINGTON ST STE A, SEATTLE, WA, 98144-3193, UNITED STATES

(2023-2025) Registered agent (a house with 3 boats): 23022 49TH A VE SE, BOTHELL, WA, 98021

(Effective Feb 25 2026) Registered agent (which was photographed in 2026 to be a completely barren residential plot): 1475 NW SWENSON CT, POULSBO, WA, 98370
