The Pulp Lab
Almost everything on offer here is the fruit of an exclusive-to-Pulp Lab collaboration (the shop fronts a creative agency). Highlights include clog booties from Swedish Hasbeens and hand-stamped blouses by Lina Rennell.

Red Ticking
Provençal-sourced striped linens are arranged in tidy color-coordinated stacks along the wall, and vintage chandeliers drape from the ceiling at this thoroughly romantic spot. The shop does a brisk business in made-to-order pillows, crafted from vintage South-of-France fabrics.

Sway & Cake
After years working as a stylist in New York City, native Seattleite Tamara Donaghy returned home with a mission to open a boutique stocked with little-known lines that complement her sleekly feminine, superhip aesthetic. Her keen eye ensures that Sway & Cake is the first in town to sell the most up-and-coming labels.

Totokaelo
Owned by a former graphic designer, Totokaelo (which means "reaching to the edge of the stars" if your Latin's rusty) traffics in a studied mix of labels that are quietly cool (Maison Martin Margiela, A.P.C., Raquel Allegra) and under-the-radar (Hope, Uzi NYC). Don't miss the spot-on jewelry from Mociun and Lauren Manoogian.

Velocity Art & Design
It's famous for its exhaustive website devoted to every facet of modern home design, but the shop itself is just as impressive. George Nelson wall clocks and Alexander Girard trays are bestsellers.

Watson Kennedy
The Seattle-based mini chainlet Watson Kennedy has won all sorts of awards for artful store displays, which makes absolute sense: It's one of those places that can sell an entire aesthetic, meaning you'll want to buy it all—the obscure cookbooks, antique dominos and lusciously wrapped hand soaps.

Alhambra
As the name suggests, the prevailing vibe of this decades-old spot is Moorish, from the arch-laden and sand-tinged walls to the exotically worked Gary Graham dresses and intricately beaded bracelets from Miguel Ases.

A Mano
Owner Nealy Blau makes biannual trips to Milan—though she stocks a few labels from other cities as well—to handpick the gorgeously crafted leather goods that fill her unfussy sliver of an accessories shop. Expect the latest, most sought-after styles from insider brands like Il Bisonte, Fiorentini + Baker, and Roberto Del Carlo.
