Seattle
Four good rooms in Ballard alone, a general store in Pioneer Square, a nursery up Aurora, and a Sunday market that runs all year.
Ballard holds four of these on its own. The rest are spread from Pioneer Square to Shoreline.
Seattle's good rooms cluster and then scatter. Ballard carries the most of them — a kitchen shop on Ballard Avenue NW, a consignment room a few blocks over on Leary, a design showroom on the corner of NW Market Street, and the farmers market that runs the length of Ballard Avenue every Sunday of the year. Pioneer Square holds two more, a general store on South King Street and a plant shop around the corner on Jackson.
After that they spread out: a ceramics studio and gallery in Wallingford, a fine living shop on Pine Street by Pike Place, a garden shop inside University Village, a vintage furnishings room out on Airport Way in Georgetown, a furniture maker on the Interbay side of Magnolia, and a full nursery up Aurora Avenue in Shoreline, past the city's northern edge.
It's grouped below by what you're after — makers, home and kitchen, vintage and provisions, or garden, plants and the market. Nothing here paid to be listed, and we haven't been through these doors ourselves. Where hours are published we've noted them; where they aren't, we say so. Confirm before you cross the city for one.
