I have used Central Market Bakery for all my cake needs for the past 2 years. All of my friends have started using them as well, but tasting the fresh cakes that I have had at Baby Showers, Birthdays, Graduations, & Weddings that I have hosted. The cake is made fresh the day you pick it up. The decorating of the cakes is unblievable. They are also so friendly, and try to accomodate your request. I usually use the Central Market Bakery in Mill Creek, but did use the one in North Seattle as well. I will definately be using them to order my wedding cake this next year.

I've been going to Archie's as long as I can remember, ever since it was on Stone Way, and it's never failed to disappoint or provide anything less than a stellar visit. There are so many good gift items here, from the novelty toys to the strange foreign instruction posters to the assorted odds and ends (New Kids on the Block trading cards, fingertip rubber monsters, magic 8, bacon strip band aids). There's also a deep and wonderful selection of postcards, including scenes of old Seattle, old movie posters and other strange scenes--buy some and send 'em to your friends. I seriously do about 50% of my holiday shopping here, year after year.
Pros: The amazing selection
Cons: Can be waaaay busy around Christmas

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.

Do you think you've seen it all?! Well, not yet until you've stopped by The Old Curiosity Shop down on Pier 54 in Seattle. The things you only think happen in fairytales, you'll see preserved in Giant Jars. Three headed pigs, shrunken heads, who wouldn't want to go peruse the shop?

A terrific selection of learning toys, the ones you'd never find in a Toys R Us. Those are mostly junk with a few redeeming qualities. Top Ten Toys only stocks quality toys with maybe 1% junk. As an adult, I loved going to this store when my first child was a baby. We could have spent all day here (the adults) looking at these toys, and blowing our wad. Quality demands a higher price, because it will last longer (probably till your grandkids), so this place is worth it.

This is by far my favorite department store. The shoe department never fails to impress and I love that the departments don't try to simplify the myriad of body types down to a few labels such as "petite", "junior", "plus size", etc.

I love the U Village - It is my favorite shopping destination in Seattle. It has many unique upscale boutique stores, while having the convenience of a few of the more popular chain stores. The staff is always courteous, pleasant and helpful. The open air setting is relaxing and less oppressive than the fluorescent lights of enclosed shopping centers and there is lots of parking and complementary umbrellas to use on location when it rains. This is not a bargain shopping experience, but instead the perfect place to find unique one-of-a-kind personal and gift items.
Pros: unique one-of-a-kind items, boutique stores
Cons: moderately expensive, no bargains or discounts

I would say this toy store is the best in the country, but I'm from Canada, and anytime I get down to Seattle, I HAVE to stop there. It's better than anything I've been too. It has everything and anything a toy store should have. It has model horses, stuffies, board games galore, puzzles, books, awesome gag gifts, dollys, puppets, and anythings else you can thing of. My first trip there was when I was 19!, and I was still like an awestruck child. "Two stories of toys, you have to be kidding?!" This place is paradise for anyone with a young heart and a young mind! Check it out for sure!!!
