University Village Shopping

Every new mall being built (see Kent) seems to be modeled after University Village. Huge Starbucks is a winner and I'm a big Ben & Jerry's fan - gotta have chocolate when shopping.

University Village is an excellent and fun place to shop. The variety of stores is terrific and it is a great place to get what you need and have fun while you shop. The restaurants are great also.

University Village is a great place to walk around and casually shop. It does get really busy and parking isn't always very convenient, but it's nice if you're not in a hurry.

The stores at University Village are awesome. I love Land of Nod for great kids gifts, Crate and Barrel for home goodies, there is a Ben & Jerry's and a great Anthropologie. I love walking outdoors, and this mall has super independent stores to compliment the usual chain stores.

PROS: Variety and Outdoors too!
CONS: Not so swell on a rainy day

Okay, so sometimes it gets really busy, and the parking, well, that is not always so easy to come by. However, there are some great little shops to browse about, and you really can't go wrong if you just want to wander around on a Saturday. There's a Barnes and Nobles, a variety of restaurants, a personal favorite of mine--papyrus. Overall cool spot to hang out and do some leisurely shopping and walking.

This mall has tons of great shopping such as Anthropologie, Coach, Victorla's Secret, Gap, Sephora and many more. Its all outdoors, and landscaped beautifully, but only for those sunny seattle days. Its a great place to walk around, and many good restaurants to eat at. There is also a QFC in the shopping area so you really are able to make a one stop shopping trip.
