Seattle Shopping
|
|
Shoppers will revel in delight
over the mix of stores they’ll find in Seattle. Big spenders
will want to venture downtown, to Seneca and 4th Avenue, where
you’ll find famous fashion boutiques like Betsy Johnson
and other notable names like Nordstrom and Gap. The area is
often compared to New York’s Fifth Ave, though if you’re
tired of dropping the big bucks on these trendy shops, take
a break over on Phil Hill’s Madison Avenue (you can choose
between one of three Starbucks on the same corner). |
If you want a more leisurely shopping experience, with big-name
brands as well as retro or vintage offerings, try Fremont Shopping
District. But for vivid colors and a true cultural experience, head
to the “ID” (or International District), which includes
eight city blocks of ethnic restaurants and shops just south of
Pioneer Square. There are also random treasures to be found in the
Pioneer Square shopping district, such as African safari masks and
imported rugs. You’ll also find the first Starbucks that opened
its doors, so be sure to at least pause if you hold a special spot
in your heart for caffeine. For those on a budget, especially backpackers
looking for deals, make your way to the University District for
bargain deals and independent boutiques.
