In Short
Most of the Square's upscale shops face out onto the street, including Eddie Bauer, home store Z-Gallerie and Fox's Gem Shop, but shoppers should wander inside the Square for other hidden finds.The downstairs cafe draws daytime shoppers and downtown workers, but if you drop in after 6pm you'll find quiet spaces within a faux living room on the first floor Traverse the tunnel-like concourse and pictures lining the walls will give you a historic look at Seattle.
