“My K-pop mates flew home this morning, so I was solo for the remainder of my time in Seattle. I finally made my way to Pacific Place, next to my hotel. Alas, it seems it’s another shopping center in search of tenants and customers. Is this the fate of many shopping centers on the West Coast, like San Francisco Centre on Market Street?
Anyway, I found myself inside Pacific Place with nothing to do and I stumbled across The Handmade Showroom on the 3rd floor. Hey, I found bracelets made out of guitar strings from High Strung Studios in Trenton, NJ. I lost a guitar bracelet the day before, so it was serendipity … I purchased one made with bass guitar strings and secured with a magnetic clasp ($57.38). I had to buy one … I would have purchased more but they didn’t have any more in size Medium (for my 6.75-inch wrist). Hah, I ordered two more from High Strung Studios for less money than at The Handmade Showroom.
So, I found at least one interesting store in this shopping complex. I remain hopeful that more vendors will open a store in this complex.”
“I recently visited Pema Kharpo for the first time and am SO happy I finally went. I have been meaning to buy a first singing bowl and found many great options, and one of the perfect size to bring home. I've only had it a few days but it has made my daily meditation time that much better.
However, I think my favorite part of my visit was meeting Rigdzin, he is truly a special person to get to chat to, and it was a pleasure to meet him.”
“Been going here since 2006 one of my most favorite shops other then radiance in Washington state my dog anubis really enjoys it haven't been here physically in 3 years but it is a wonderful place”

“This is an amazing spot to shop in Ballard. They support all kinds of local creators, so you know when you buy something here you are also contributing to a thriving arts community in Seattle! They have everything from small gifts to incredible original paintings. Highly recommend!”
“Luca is a great place to find that unique gift for someone special or for yourself! I feel like a kid finding treasure when I visit. I really enjoy shopping here.”
“Perfect spot for last-minute gifts — you’re bound to find something for everyone! Especially handy during the holiday season. The store is full of fun little knick-knacks, and you could easily spend a lot of time browsing through everything. I love that everything upstairs is color-coordinated — makes shopping even more enjoyable. It can get a little overstimulating on weekends with the crowds, but that’s part of the lively charm of the place.”
“Such an amazing store!! They have much cute and useful home accessories! (Personal fav is the duck umbrella ?)
Staff is also amazing and friendly!!
Also also, heads up, if you do email or call them to make a phone order and need to cancel, let them know!! I did and they where very understanding!!”
“Absolutely incredible experience here - went in to find a gift for my incredibly discerning aunt and received wonderful guidance from more than one employee. Left with a delightfully wrapped gift! Thanks y'all!”
“Today I found this beautiful one-of-a-kind vintage bag at a lovely little antique store. It was handmade by the shop owner herself! She creates so many amazing things beyond just bags — her craftsmanship is truly impressive. She’s also incredibly kind and warm-hearted. This is such a wonderful place to enjoy French-inspired vintage pieces and local art!”

“These are the most beautiful handcrafted books I have ever laid eyes on. I bought one a few years back and have absolutely loved it so I could not pass up the opportunity to get my hands on another. You can even water color on the pages after you are done writing/journaling in it--that's my next step for the first one. Anyways absolute love--made with extreme care and quality”
“Highly recommend this store! The website is basic and they were so lovely to work with and even wrapped the presents for my niece with the shipping. Thank you again it was great service and a pleasure to shop small ? 5️⃣⭐️”
“I went to Station 7 in search of some well made rings and found what I was looking for! The woman working there was very kind when I asked her about the rings tarnishing. She was upfront about the gold plated tarnishing faster than the gold filled. I love that she gave me an honest answer! It made me want to support the shop even more. I went with the gold plated one because I liked the design better. She gave me tips to prevent it from tarnishing faster, which is appreciated. I recommend this spot if you’re on the hunt for some cute, unique finds!”
“If I could give this place a 100 stars I would! The owners are absolutely amazing, seriously the kindest hearts you will ever meet. They are all about helping people and it's genuine. The wonderful things they have done for my mom and her health, I couldn't be more grateful to have had the pleasure of coming here. Also, they have better prices then any other compound in the area. Thank you Mike for all you have done!”

“This is one of my favorite stores in Kirkland!! I love the mission behind the store of supporting Hawaiian artists and entrepreneurs! This place is truly a mini hawaiian oasis in the PNW! And the owner is so genuine and sweet! Highly recommend stopping by, whether it be for clothing, jewelry, snacks, decor etc.”
“I stumbled upon this adorable gift shop while in the area, and I was pleasantly surprised by the vast selection of Pacific Northwest (PNW) gift items available. They offer a variety of products, including food, home decor, ceramics, books, and much more! Most of the items are locally sourced, which adds to their charm. I had a wonderful time exploring the store, which features many fun and unique items. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a souvenir or a special gift. Some items are priced slightly higher than usual, but the selection is impressive overall. Just keep in mind that they don't have a parking lot; however, street parking is available a few blocks away.”

“Went in today with my mother to find some specialty olive oils for our pasta. Rebbeka was amazing and very friendly. She sold us a number of oils and even a blackberry vinegar for salmon dinners (highly recommend). Rebbeka’s client service was top notch and she deserves to be recognized. Highly recommend checking out this shop if you’re in the area or planning a shopping trip to Bellevue Square mall. Thanks, Rebbeka!”

“I was over the top impressed with the associate, Jax, who helped me with my purchase at The Alderwood Mall location. I've always loved this store and have visited many locations. However, I've never had an experience like the one Jax gave me. She went above and beyond the call of duty. I left there a completely satisfied customer. I was also truly delighted with all their merchandise. They have the most amazing and beautiful items. There's always an abundance of items that catch my eye that I want to purchase. Thank you Made In Washington and thank you Jax.”

“SUCH a cool shop! You can see the passion and care that the curators put into the shop, too. There's a little section that has a display of some history from WW2- it caught my eye and as I read through it, I learned a lot. One of the employees saw me reading it and told me a little more context about the story behind the display.
I bought two beautiful ceramics bowls here and I am very excited to try my new teapot. This shop has beautiful sets of ceramics and plenty of fresh tea. They also have a rotating tea sample.
I highly recommend shopping here! I'm looking forward to remembering this place for my sister's birthday.”

“I was a little bit suspicious about the value of a place like this but when I finally went in to pick up the free composting kit I was very impressed. A lot of different merchandise with a green theme, even essential oils andtoys. A woman who was very interesting giving talks about different concepts on the fly.”
