University District shopping
TALK TO US
University Way Northeast or "The Ave.," as it's known to everyone in Seattle, used to be the center of the University shopping district. Now many locals prefer the slick University Village down the hill, but there's still reason to stroll the traditional promenade.
American Apparel
American Apparel's basic, no-nonsense T-shirts, tank tops, swimwear, jackets and underwear are comfortable, durable and smart-looking. And did we mention inexpensive and guilt free?
Buffalo Exchange
One of the city's largest buy-and-sell used clothing boutiques, with a huge selection of tank tops, going-out clothes and your occasional full-length fuzzy neon-green coat.
Coffee and Comics
A great hangout for animation and comic fans, where you can get a cup of coffee too.
Curtsy Bella
This shop features witty greeting cards, desk accessories, frocks, lingerie, baby clothes and other pretty gifts by new and established designers.
Red Light (University District)
Red Light has brought the art of used duds to a new high, to feed right into your every disco diva/fashionista/cowgirl-with-an-attitude/street punk/goth goddess/heroine-in-a-halter fantasy.
Spa Scotta
Simple elegance is the best way to describe Spa Scotta. There aren't a bunch of chatty bridesmaids running all over the place; it's low-key with little to distract you.
University Book Store (University District)
The coolest bookstore in the city, with floors of literature and nonfiction, strong academic shelves and a basement of textbooks and art supplies.
University Village
With its leafy walkways, benches, fountains and boisterous playground, the U Village is an enticing upscale chain mall popular with young parents, neighbors and college students.
