Pacific Place

A glitzy addition to the downtown shopping scene with upper-crust tenants such as Tiffany & Co. and Cartier.

The Scene
Polar fleece-garbed Seattleites window-shop alongside millionaires who actually buy. Terra-cotta pillars, marble floors and a stunning glass ceiling dazzle shoppers, diners and moviegoers.

The Goods
Flashy stores such as Club Monaco and Bally may turn heads with grandiose price tags, but Brookstone will entertain shoppers on a budget. Even grungy gawkers are treated like Visa Gold Card holders by these perfectly coiffed clerks. Too upscale for a food court, eateries ooze panache: Il Fornio, with a staircase connecting the Ristorante with the Risotteria; and popular chain Gordon Biersch. The best deal: parking. During weekdays after 5pm, rates are $2 for four or fewer hours.
