Oh joy! I have always been a diligent outlet mall shopper but have had yet to travel up to Marysville/Tulalip to shop around the newest outlet mall addition to northern Washington. I was completely blown away. The stores were high-end (Puma, Banana Republic, Coach, Calvin Klein, Nine West etc etc) and did not spend rack space on unnecessary irregulars and just plain hideous clothes some people would not like to be caught dead in. But these stores were filled with some awesome (let me repeat- awesome) finds. I walked out of Banana Republic with a pair of white gaucho shorts and a nautical-esque striped off-the-shoulder shirt for only 60 bucks... compared to the regular stores, the outfit would've set me back around 150. Just great deals all around. Watch out for the crowds though! We arrived just as a slew of tour buses were arriving and had to battle our way to get to the clothes in the stores. Weekends get extremely busy so if you have a day off on the week or just get out of work early, I'd shoot up to Marysville to avoid the crowds. Hope your shopping goes as well as mine!
