Fremont, which up until 1891 used to be a city in itself, is now a neighborhood of Seattle bordered by others like Queen Anne and Ballard. The statue of Lenin and the Fremont Troll are two of the main attractions of this area, and there is lots more to see and do as well. If you're in the mood to shop, you would definitely like to check out the many, varied stores in the area. The Sunday street market is another highlight of the area.

As a sleepy suburb of Northwest Seattle, Ballard still remains one of the city's best kept secrets. Some of the major attractions include the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, Golden Gardens Park and the Nordic Heritage Museum. If you're here to shop, head down Ballard Avenue and you can check out stores like Lucca, Horseshoe, re-Soul, Ketch and Clover Toys.

Situated to the northwest of Downtown, Queen Anne is a neighborhood named after the architectural style the city's early elite built their homes in. This neighborhood is where the Seattle Center, probably best known for housing the Space Needle, is located. However, if sightseeing is not what you're interested in, the neighborhood's retail potential should definitely impress you. You can shop at boutiques like Adelita, Rhinestone Rosie, Stuhlbergs and Beverly Hunnicutt Studio.

The neighborhood immediately to the west of the University of Washington attracts students and locals for shopping, snacking and strolling. The main thoroughfare, University Way (formerly 14th Avenue) is usually referred to by its nickname, "the Ave." Neptune, Varsity and Grand Illusion cinemas are located here, as are numerous coffeehouses: Cafe Allegro and Perkengrüven among them. Shops sell futons, trendy shoes and cheap clothing. The large University Bookstore anchors the neighborhood.

The Pine Street stretch from 1st Avenue to 9th Avenue is a major shopping street. Here you will find more major chains than boutiques. Flagship stores such as Macy's (3rd and Pine) and Nordstrom (5th and Pine) and shopping centers such as Westlake Center and Pacific Place Shopping Center dominate the street. A bonus: walk one block past 1st Avenue and you'll find yourself in the famous Pike Place Market.
