South Lake Union Saturday Market
University Village
QA Marketplace – The QA Marketplace is truly a one-of-a-kind retail space (that we definitely love to see and need more of). Here you will find ten businesses under one roof in this women’s collaborative retail space, all run by women business owners from the Queen Anne neighborhood.
International District – The International District, or the “ID,” as it’s known in the city, was originally settled in the 1880s by a group of Chinese railroad workers and has since become a mecca for Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean cultures that have come together to form the Asian-American district of Seattle. Here you will not only find trendy boutiques but also an assortment of delicious Asian cuisine and authentic shops. One that might be of interest is Uwajimaya, an enormous market where you can find everything from arts and crafts to live fish to fresh produce and herbs.
South Lake Union Saturday Market – Located adjacent to Denny Park and the SLU Discovery Center in the heart of South Lake Union neighborhood, this incredible Saturday market features over 45 makers, finders and foodies, making it the perfect place to browse for local eats to either enjoy on the spot or to take back to your suite to enjoy.
University Village – The hub of Seattle’s University District shopping scene, University Village is an open-air complex that features popular hometown outdoor clothier Eddie Bauer along with other chain retailers. More than two-dozen local merchants also maintain stores here, providing shoppers a touch of Northwest flavor. Check out Glassybaby for unique hand-blown glass candle holders and drinking glasses, as well as Fran’s Chocolates, chosen as one of Oprah’s favorite things in recent years. Attractive garden areas, numerous restaurants, and ample free parking are additional draws. Or check out The University of Washington campus, a iconic spot to view cherry blossom trees in the spring.
