“My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Lars to find just the right pieces for our home. He was thoughtful in his approach to helping us consider the ambiance and feel that we wanted to convey within each space we were considering. The complete experience was top notch!”

“Went for the holiday native art market. It was lovely, as it has been in previous years. Parking is easy. There's a nice variety of art from jewelry to scented things like soap to original wall artwork to a some pottery, etc. The gift shop also has a nice selection. There are some food options offered. It takes about 30-60 minutes to peruse everything. Thank you to the Duwamish for doing this.”
“While looking for a thank you note with a fish motif, I scoured Annie's Art and Frame's vast selection of cards to no avail. I asked the associate working if she knew of any secret stash that I might've missed. She asked me to wait while she rummaged around the back and came out with the perfect card! Thank you for the kind and patient service. And of course, the cute card, too. PS I tried to upload a photo of the card, but Google kept rejecting it, so you'll just have to go to the store and see the selection for yourself.”
“I’m super picky when it comes to tattoos and choosing the right artist. It honestly took me over a year to find a shop and someone I could really trust, someone whose style matched mine, had good vibes, and wasn’t insanely expensive or overly selective. Yesterday, I finally got my 4th tattoo (and my first one in Seattle!) and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I went to Lake and they did such an amazing job, seriously brought my idea to life perfectly. The studio is really open and welcoming, everyone there is super nice, and it’s literally walking distance from my apartment (which is a little dangerous for my wallet tbh). Definitely planning to go back and I can already tell this is gonna be my regular spot for the long run.”
“Had a great experience here. It's quiet and there's a lot of selectioin for different pottery options.
I feel like this place is bigger and has more selection than Paint the Town, but I'm pretty sure it's cheaper than too. Not to say that there's a lack of quality, there's plenty of paint options and the environment is nice. The owner is really sweet too, you can tell she really puts a lot of passion and care to this place.
If you've never done this before, best to slot out a lot of time, this kind of thing can take a while.”
“While in town visiting family we came across this amazing store . The owners were so friendly and helpful . We have bought glass around the world and their glass ranks up there with the best we have found . We purchased quite a few pieces and they look even better in our home than they did in the store . We will be a frequent buyer for sure .”
“A Seattle institution, founded in 1976, and located in a charmer of a brick and mortar in the historic Georgetown neighborhood, sharing opposite sides of a space with Georgetown Records, Fantagraphics is a great place to visit! Full of art,history and just plain fun publications, readers of all ages will find something cool.”
“Who said Seattle lacks culture? Maybe they’re right, but they’d be wrong about white center. Blown away but the colorful art and exuberant energy that any patron would feel as soon as they enter this beautiful space”
“Whether you’re looking for handmade or conventional art supplies, this store has it all. In particular, I love their selection of fountain pen inks, journals and pens.”

“Wa Na Wari is a must see experience for everyone interested in Seattle’s African-American history. They are committed to maintaining the legacy that their ancestors established in Central Seattle when that was one of the few places people of African descent were allowed to live. They are always gracious and share their history generously and proudly. You don’t want to miss it!”
“Eclectic art gallery. Well curated pieces in all price ranges. Delightful, airy space. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Have been shopping here for over 25 years and highly recommend a visit .”

“I love it here! The vibe is great and the owner Eva is so amazing to talk to. I can tell how much she cares about the people and the music. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have been able to play guitar for the summer! Thank you Eva and Ken”
“Went for an intimate local show with Tobias theOwl in this beautiful gallery. Owner is warm and welcoming and I will definitely be back!(It's also 4 buildings down from my favorite tapas place-added bonus) The art was a variety of 50 artists over 50 and I loved pieces from each artist I saw! Gorgeous backdrop for music <3 Thank you for sharing your space with local artists! ?”
“I love going there any chance I can get. Regularly, they are a bunch of rented art studios anybody can rent as long as there’s some available. Some larger studios even host their own art classes in painting, graphite on paper, clay sculpting, and more.
It’s only during special events when you can see all the work happening, and that’s when One can witness the magic of artistic creativity!”
“It's an erotic art gallery. I haven't been in too many but the folks here were really nice, and the art was interesting even when it wasn't a swipe right for me.”
“The largest collection of back issues in the area. Also nice that they have bundles of them too. Plus friendly knowledgeable staff. Two things I love in a comic shop, the first being harder and harder to find these days.”

“I have come to expect the unexpected from the Greg Kucera Gallery, though I expect find my favorite artists here! Awesome space and supremely focused on what is important - the art. Easily the highlight of my trips to Seattle!”
“Such beautiful art and such an amazing woman working there! The gallery itself is also layed out beautifully with an interactive display of some videos and art on a tablet in the back!”

“Love supporting local artists and love that there are more and more stores that connect artists to the community.
Super fun store for unique gifts!
Only things to note is the upstairs area that isn't easily accessible & then relying on street parking or public transit to get there.”
“My K-pop mates flew home this morning, so I was solo for the remainder of my time in Seattle. I finally made my way to Pacific Place, next to my hotel. Alas, it seems it’s another shopping center in search of tenants and customers. Is this the fate of many shopping centers on the West Coast, like San Francisco Centre on Market Street?
Anyway, I found myself inside Pacific Place with nothing to do and I stumbled across The Handmade Showroom on the 3rd floor. Hey, I found bracelets made out of guitar strings from High Strung Studios in Trenton, NJ. I lost a guitar bracelet the day before, so it was serendipity … I purchased one made with bass guitar strings and secured with a magnetic clasp ($57.38). I had to buy one … I would have purchased more but they didn’t have any more in size Medium (for my 6.75-inch wrist). Hah, I ordered two more from High Strung Studios for less money than at The Handmade Showroom.
So, I found at least one interesting store in this shopping complex. I remain hopeful that more vendors will open a store in this complex.”
“Beautiful pieces by beautiful people, lots of emotions are conveyed through each work presented. Always a lovely collection on display. Always be sure to look for a Richard Hutter piece, he has many collections available!”
“I've shopped around, and these are the best quality canvass (and metal!) prints I've been able to find, I literally cannot recommend Stretch and Staple highly enough. I'm a wildlife photographer in the Seattle area, and they are the only shop that's been able to print colors and details up to my slightly OCD standards. They will go the extra mile to make sure the colors come out right, and the detail is good enough to see reflections in the eyes of hummingbirds. Ten out of five stars, would print again.”
“Apex has done an incredible job with all of my clients. They can look at a peice of art and know exactly the frame style it needs. They take care of arranging and installing art perfectly. My clients are always thrilled.”
“This place carries wonderful pieces of art and delectable delights for your palate in every corner. It’s a treat for all of your senses and perfect for gift shopping. Please check them out, you certainly won’t regret it”

“Today I found this beautiful one-of-a-kind vintage bag at a lovely little antique store. It was handmade by the shop owner herself! She creates so many amazing things beyond just bags — her craftsmanship is truly impressive. She’s also incredibly kind and warm-hearted. This is such a wonderful place to enjoy French-inspired vintage pieces and local art!”
“I freaking love this place!! Every time I come in there’s always some cool new jewelry, art or decorative home items out. I love that the owner pulls from different local artists and jewelers. It really makes this shop a place to stop by every few weeks. You never know what will be there next!”
“Absolutely AMAZING destination for anyone who CANNOT be pleased with a standard gift! Handmade goods priced with the artists and the customers in mind, I don't think I could recommend this place MORE! Everything is kept clean, stocked, and the workers don't hesitate to let you know about the stories attached to each artist, if you want to take the step outside of just a "plain" shopping experience. Their website is gorgeous too! But the store experience is worth it, if only because you can see and hold and learn about the pieces in a really cool way. Absolutely 10/10 unique and irreplaceable part of Pacific Place!”
“Lots of cool little things in this shop. Pricy, but great quality. The woman who has rung me out a few different times has always been really sweet. I also like that they sell Blackwing pencils individually. Everywhere else sells Blackwings in expensive packs.”
“My partner and I came to Seattle Glassblowing to celebrate our anniversary and had the best time!! Quinn helped us make two ornaments and was relaxed, clear, and supportive of our hundreds of questions. We will absolutely be back!”
