Seattle Shopping

Shopping

There is no shortage of shopping in Seattle. Downtown blends major department stores and small boutiques, while smaller neighborhoods offer independently-owned shops. The crown jewel of downtown shopping centers is Pacific Place, with its shops, restaurants, and cinema. The lively Pike Place Market sells items from 190 businesses.
