Full-line furniture manufacturer and retailer Ethan Allen (NYSE: ETH) has opened a new Ethan Allen Design Center in Lynnwood, Wash.

Chairman, President and CEO Farooq Kathwari joined the Economic Alliance of Snohomish County to celebrate the grand opening of the Lynnwood Ethan Allen Design Center earlier this month with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a fundraising event for Housing Hope, a local charity.

"This Design Center is really the model for our continued expansion both in the United States and internationally," Kathwari said, "and it is the first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest."

Guests mingled, toured the new state-of-the-art Design Center, and its room displays of Ethan Allen's  newest products, and took part in a silent auction including furnishings from Ethan Allen's five signature lifestyles. The event raised more than $2,000 for Housing Hope, which provides a wide range of housing opportunities for those in need in Snohomish County.

Ethan Allen plans to open new Design Centers in Miami, Fla.; Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; and several locations in China in 2012.
