Seattle Official Visitors Guide 2008-2009 - (Page 54) SHOPPING SEATTLE CHIC A DAY OF DOWNTOWN SHOPPING Shop yourself silly with an itinerary that leads you right to downtown’s best shopping — and other hot spots along the way. Morning Stop by one of the hundreds of downtown coffee shops or stands to kickstart what will be a marathon shopping day. Now you’re ready to hit some of Seattle’s most upscale boutiques — St. John, Louis Vuitton and Luly Yang Couture — many of which are sprinkled around the posher downtown hotels. Keep the theme of indulgence going by sampling treats at one of downtown’s emerging artisan chocolate shops.

Stroll through the upper-level stalls of flowers, fruits, veggies and handmade goods (such as honey-infused bath products and blown-glass jewelry), then head down to the lower level for a collection of out-of-theordinary and charmingly kitschy shops. Rest your feet with a break for lunch. The Pike Place Market area is a perfect spot to grab a bite to eat, as foodie-favorite restaurants, cafes and food stands abound. Then stop by the first-ever Starbucks 54 WWW.VISITSEATTLE.ORG http://WWW.VISITSEATTLE.ORG
