Editorial Review for University Village – by Ashley Whitlatch
The Scene
Home to the second busiest Starbucks in the world, this immaculate, outdoor regional shopping center situated less than a mile from the University of Washington and features national and local retailers that attract yuppie shoppers as well as affluent and fashion-conscious students. Mercedes and BMWs abound and are rapidly filled with plush home furnishings, en vogue clothing and eclectic gifts.
The Goods
'U-village' is host to around 100 merchants in an open-air design. Familiar store names like Coach, Eddie Bauer, Victoria's Secret, J. Crew, Abercrombie & Fitch and Anthropologie are interspersed with local gems like European-inspired Rosanna and neighborhood-born Ravenna Gardens. One-stop-shopping in its finest form, the experience does not end without a relaxing massage, quick manicure or hair update. Patrons can also take a break from shopping and tantalize their taste buds with choices from Piatti's fine Italian cuisine to a walk down memory lane with Johnny Rockets' 1950s themed restaurant.
