The Plucky Duck: Soap, sustainability and self-sufficiency in Spokane
When you walk into the Plucky Duck in Spokane’s Kendall Yards you are stepping into a colorful, eco-friendly upcycling hub. Glass jars gleam on shelves, rubber ducks wink from display tables, and the scent of essential oils permeates through the air. At the center of it all is owner Cristina Aranda, a former librarian whose passion for learning, community and the planet inspired her to create a shop that’s equal parts soap studio, zero-waste refillery, and environmental classroom.
