Boutique shopping in Beautiful Setting
by seattleshopaholic at Citysearch
I love the U Village - It is my favorite shopping destination in Seattle. It has many unique upscale boutique stores, while having the convenience of a few of the more popular chain stores. The staff is always courteous, pleasant and helpful. The open air setting is relaxing and less oppressive than the fluorescent lights of enclosed shopping centers and there is lots of parking and complementary umbrellas to use on location when it rains. This is not a bargain shopping experience, but instead the perfect place to find unique one-of-a-kind personal and gift items.
- Pros: unique one-of-a-kind items, boutique stores
- Cons: moderately expensive, no bargains or discounts
Wonderful Atmosphere

I love visiting the University Village for shopping. The many unique shops puts this outdoor mall above all the others. The stores I frequent have excellent customer service; especially the Starbucks. They have a continual influx of customers all day and yet, this young staff can maintain their professionalism without getting silly--like we often see with the younger generation that serves us in many businesses. Their inventory seems to be more specialized than their partners that are located in other malls. Plus, when they have a sidewalk sale in June, it's the best!
It's ok

I have a love-hate feeling about U Village. I love that it's so close to UW. I also like some of the stores and the open layout of the mall (tho..it's not that great when it's raining). I hate the fact that the mall is so expensive. It's definately not poor college student shopping. Also, some of the shoppers and customer service people are snotty. I would expect it in Bellevue, but not too much by the U. I don't think that you get that too much downtown seattle.
- Pros: Nice mall, some good shops
- Cons: expensive, kind of snotty
