How Luxury Shopping in Seattle is Now an All Inclusive Experience

Shop ‘til you drop…into a cozy eatery or full-service spa at Seattle’s impressive array of all-inclusive shopping destinations.

With such luxury stops as Neiman Marcus, Jimmy Choo and Hermes, as well as homegrown favorites like Nordstrom and Eddie Bauer, the shopping is oh-so-good in Seattle. In recent years, the finds have gotten even sweeter, too, as area shopping centers have complemented their vast selection of chic boutiques with top-notch spas, world-class eateries and other amenities to further elevate the shopping experience to new heights. Whether you are on the hunt for housewares, looking to nosh on a nibble or just meander at your leisure, these all-inclusive shopping destinations make it a snap to shop, dine and play all day long.

Shoppers unite at Pacific Place (Downtown, 600 Pine St.; 206.405.2655; pacificplaceseattle.com), the airy, five-story center that is not only downtown’s best bet for easy parking, but also home to such landmark tenants as Barneys New York , Tiffany & Co. and Kate Spade New York. Start on the first floor at the aforementioned Barneys, where handbags and accessories are displayed like works of art and the upstairs women’s section houses pieces from favorites like Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Helmut Lang, or Michael Kors—which is filled with the American designer’s fine leather bags and impeccable resort wear—and then work up an appetite as you shop level by level. Notable stops include famed athletic and yoga wear purveyor lululemon athletica and J.Jill, which offers classic, cool contemporary wear for women.

The center’s fourth level is home to an AMC movie theater and five restaurants of varying persuasions, including the brand-new Din Tai Fung. One of Taiwan’s most celebrated restaurants, the eatery churns out the succulent steamed dumplings that made this spot a legend, in addition to fried noodles, potstickers and other Taiwanese favorites perfectly for filling up before taking in a flick.

Pacific Place is soon to receive a top-to-bottom facelift, to boot. The multi-million dollar renovation, which is now underway with the first phase to be complete by fall of 2018, includes the remodel of the center’s common areas, plus a grand new entrance that will allow for added shop space and more dining options.

Located twenty minutes from downtown in the heart of UW Husky country, University Village (2623 NE University Village St.; 206.523.0622; uvillage.com) is the city’s go-to outdoor shopping center, offering free parking, a dog-friendly environment and a vibrant mix of 120 stores and restaurants. The picturesque village is the only spot in the state where you can shop homegoods at Room & Board and Pottery Barn Kids), pick up chic athletic gear from Oiselle and peruse Scotch & Soda, which offers Amsterdam couture-esque garments to well-dressed gents. In addition to classic haunts such as Anthropologie and Crate & Barrel, new favorites here include: Joie, a understatedly chic boutique offering the latest women’s fashions; California-cool Brandy Melville with its graphic t’s and laidback accessories; and b8ta, an innovative new retail experience that allows customers to discover and try out new tech devices in store before buying.

For a taste of home, fuel up at one of the U Village’s many Asian eateries, which includes yet another outpost of Din Tai Fung; Seattle favorite Ba Bar’s newest location here churns out incredibly-fresh Vietnamese street-food-with-a-twist, while Blue C Sushi and Hokkaido Ramen Santouka craft soul-satisfying fresh sushi and savory ramen, respectively. Those looking to expand their horizons would do well to devour a classic American sammie at the charitably-focused new Even Stevens or slurp down a just-tart, delightfully-sweet ginger beer float from Seattle’s own Rachel’s Ginger Beer. And if it’s time for a little R&R, look no further than the on-site Gene Juarez Salon & Spa where a pedicure would sure to do nicely after all that shopping and sampling.

Located across Lake Washington from Seattle, the once sleepy suburb of Bellevue is now a bustling metropolis, boasting a world-class art museum, gourmet restaurants and the area’s premier shopping Meccas. The first of which, the expansive Bellevue Collection (575 Bellevue Way NE; 425.454.8096; bellevuecollection.com) encompasses 250 retail brands in three different locations—Bellevue Square, Lincoln Center and Bellevue Place—making it a true shopping destination. The shopping is plentiful here with an expansive Nordstrom, plus Diane Von Furstenberg and Madewell for her, and Hugo Boss, Vince and Tommy Bahama for him. The addition of Japanese apparel retailer Uniqlo has lent even more stylish appeal to these bustling spots.

And the dining? Divine. Upping the ante from typical mall fare, the recently expanded Lincoln Square is now home to the ritziest food court in the land. The Lincoln South Food Hall on the second level features gourmet fare from seven vendors with offerings ranging from Pacific Rim bowls at Avo-Poké to al pastor pork and pineapple tacos at Barrio Luchador. Within the same South building expansion, there are myriad fine dining spots to enjoy at your leisure, including Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão, Chinese noodle house Baron’s Xi’an Kitchen and Bar and local powerhouse chef’s Jason Wilson’s new local-produce-driven project, The Lakehouse. Sublimely sexy (there’s even a speakeasy on the first level), The Lakehouse is attached to the newly-finished W Bellevue hotel, which is about as swank as can be and perfect for catching a few z’s in utter style.

Bellevue’s spin on the famous Rodeo Drive, the nearby open-air Shops at The Bravern (11111 NE 8th St.; 425.456.8795; thebravern.com) are something out of a fashion lover’s dream with a rich collection of luxury designer brands, plus the center’s Mandarin language-available website makes it all a snap to navigate. Highlights include Parisian favorite Hermès, whose expansive boutique is filled with finely-crafted accessories; American designer Tory Burch brings her trademark boho-chic apparel and accessories to her brightly-accented space; and, true to their Italian heritage, Salvatore Ferragamo offers an impeccable selection of leather handbags, goods and shoes. It all buzzes around The Bravern’s keystone tenant, the Northwest’s only Neiman Marcus location, where shoppers fawn over designer finds from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik, all expertly displayed in a gallery-like setting.

Finish your day with something sweet from the new Sugar Factory, a combination candy shop and cafe famous for its Hollywood celebrity endorsements. Snag a lollipop to go, and belly up to the bar in the Brasserie, where you can order rainbow burger sliders, towering club sandwiches or kooky, colorful cocktails accented with such candies as gummy worms or peachy rings—cheers!
