Great shopping center in the heart of Downtown Seattle. Have large merry-go-round in the public square during the Christmas season. Always a protestor or something outside. Large pedestrian area outside the mall, great for meeting friends or just hanging out and watching people. Easy access by most busses that go to/from Capitol Hill and Downtown. Many very interesting shops that you don’t normally find in a mall. Very large food-court area with several dozen restaurant choices that, again, you don’t find in most malls: Indian. Cajun, Curry, Soup, Seafood, Mongolian BBQ, etc. Very nice place that is strangely often overlooked by tourists. In the main shopping area of Pine Street. A must-stop!

Because it is nearly that time of the year again, I may be visiting Westlake more often. The outside is always festive around Christmas time, and the stores inside usually have a lot of deals. If you are looking for gift ideas, you should walk around inside and hopefully one of the stores will give you big ideas. In other times of the year, though, the prices can be a bit hefty.
