I'm an avid runner, and finally checked out Super Jock 'n Jill from a friend's recommendation. In the past, I just bought whatever was on sale at Big 5, but the service, fitting, and advice you get from the employees is unmatched. Every employee seems to be very knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about running.
I bought a pair, took it home, and was unhappy after a few runs. With NO QUESTIONS ASKED, they apologized and allowed me to fit a new pair, which I am very happy with. ...and they're very reasonably priced. Sure, you might find the same pair of shoes online for $15-20 cheaper, but the service you get here is incredible. Most pairs I tried on were right around $100.

Buffalo Exchange is one of the better stores in Seattle for used clothes. They have a great selection that is fairly constantly turning over, so you always see new things. The prices are very reasonable, but you can get some good things here. I even got a great Kenneth Cole watch after trading in some clothes. They also have a service to donate the clothes that you bring in if they don’t buy them from you.
Worth a visit!!

Great customer service!!! Angela, Megan, (and their dog, Charlie!) are far from your typical, stuck up boutique employees. I'm new to the boutique world of clothing (moving up from good old American Eagle & Abercrombie); They were so patient with me, deciding between a pair of jeans and a few shirts (all on sale!) - they're eager to offer their opinion and lend a hand, but not pushy AT ALL. I HIGHLY suggest you stop by The Industry before checking out the other boutiques in the area. It's tough to find (I stumbled in by chance), but well worth the search.

Wow...seems like the fear of speech has settled in Fremont based on the comments. If you'd rather try on clothes by yourself, I'd suggest trying Target. If you'd like to serve some fashion that might get you noticed, Bliss is there. I come in from NYC all the time and I'm always impressed with whats on the racks. Of course, it's not Target prices but its cute and sassy which makes every dime well worth it! Plus you can score a few things on sale almost every time.

Nordstrom Rack has a great selection of name brand shopping at low prices. It's the best of all of the markdown/label stores. The location in Auburn has a good plus-size collection, too, which unfortunately the downtown location seems to lack. The particular strength of both stores is their great name-brand shoe selection. I have also found really good bras here.

Oslo's on the top of Queen Anne opened a couple months ago and it has the best collection of stylish hip clothes for men around. The owner is a guy named John and he's there everyday with his dog Oslo (store namesake). Great place for gifts for yourself and others. He's also got a barber chair in there for a haircut--Chad there cut my hair a couple weeks ago & I was pleased with it.

More
Because shoes are always on my thrift store shopping list, I prefer a store that saves me time in this department, and because Value Village, like Volume Shoe Source and other discount stores, organizes by size, I’m able to go straight to the shoes most likely to fit me and glance around for the four to six pairs in the style I want. Good Will, for some reason, organizes by style and color. This means that I often have to try several sections (though I’m usually open to different colors and styles, I have no say in my shoe size), and, once there, try on everything I like that seems to approximate my size. So when I’m shopping for shoes, which is usually, this one waste of time is reason enough that I prefer nearly all other thrift stores to Good Will.

Skip the Bon and Nordstroms and try out Zebra Club. They have clothing from the likes of Paul Frank and other urban wear. For fans of Urban Outfitters (both male & female) you will likely take a liking to Zebra Club.
They carry shoes and usually have alot of markdown items as well.
If you are a tween or a 30 something you will likely find something you like if you dress with flair.
Zebra club is just one block up from the Pike Street Market.

It's becoming more and more acceptable for men to be interested in grooming and looking good in clothing. Finally, women have a place to take their boyfriends/husbands to find jeans that don't have the saggy butt--a complaint by many women I've found concerning men's jeans. It is also a cool place because while you're there you'll notice other straight men browsing clothing. The stereotype is that only gay men know how to dress well and straight men need a lot of help so it is refreshing to see other straight men seeking out fashionable options. Gents: you'll need to get over the whole "this isn't manly" idea when visiting and possibly adjust your perception of what being a man truly is. I believe there is general discontent from certain females that men have gone too casual. My grandma thinks this is a disgrace as men in her day used to dress to impress.
My experience with Blackbird has been from their Fremont location. Immediately this store gained popularity with male friends of mine because at that time there wasn't a true men's boutique that catered to young professional men with an urban twist (not just suits, but casual streetwear)
I first met Suzy the mother of Nicole whom I later met and had a great discussion about brands and clothing. I purchased my first Coal hat there and was later invited to an exclusive sale (windows were covered with paper, a guest list, a bottle of water, and a survey) that was only available to past shoppers. It was at this sale that my Brown Sound jacket was on sale which I spied one of the first times I visited the boutique. I got it for a good deal and have been happy with it ever since.
The staff is really helpful and they make you feel really comfortable while shopping. Plus, they know and love the brands they carry so they can tell you all the backstory behind each brand and if Nicole is there she'll tell you why she bought the brand and even a bit about the politics that went into it.
For a guy who's the least bit interested in dressing well this is a great place to start. Fellas, there's more options out there than fleece and bad denim!
