Best Seattle Shops
From unique, local shops to a national retail behemoth, Seattle has a wide array of shopping options. When friends roll into town, these are the places I would take them to. Visitors tend to flock to downtown for shopping, but the quirkier (and cheaper) vendors tend to lurk in Seattle's neighborhoods. (Photo by Flickr user Annie Mole)
