Default Seattle Info?

Hi All!

My girl and I are planning a day trip down to Seattle tomorrow, and I was hoping some of you could please let me know where the primary shopping area is? A name, area etc. that would be included in a map would be great!

Also, she would like to visit the shops with "designer labels" (Prada, Gucci, LV etc.), so any info as to their location would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Oh -- and if you could please let me know where the "Crabpot" (or something like that) restaurant is, that would be great!

I don't shop there all that often - but Bellevue Square is going to make her happy and you broke!

There are a number of restaurants with "Crab" in them. One is in Bellevue - about 5 minutes from Bellevue Square...

Have fun!

For the high end shopping, Bellevue Square might work, but downtown is the real deal. You want to be near the flagship Nordstrom and Pacific Place; we usually park in the Pacific Palce garage, at 6th and Pine.

The general area is bounded by 4th to 7th, Olive to Union.

Tiffany and lots of other good stuff...

What did you end up replacing the S2000 with?

Too broke these days for the really good stuff. I haven't bought a suit from Butch Blum for 5 or 6 years now.

I wonder if being married has anything to do with that ?

Crabpot is also on one of the Piers downtown. It's crappy seafood. If you are in Bellevue, check out Seastar for some good eats.

In downtown Seattle, check out 6th avenue. It's a mini-Robson. If she's running these brand label shiznit against your credit line, dude, just get her some fake breasts and call it a day. Even brand labels can't make an ugly Asian girl pretty (I see it all too often in Vancouver-land and not directed to yours at all since I don't even know you guys).



Cheers,

Thanks again guys -- I appreciate it!

Ok -- looks like the day will go down like this:

1. Bellevue Square
2. Pacific Place
3. SuperMall (time permitting)

Still dunno about this "Crabpot" place given WRS2K's critique...but oh well.

lig -- I went with a Boxster S.
