Shopping
Neighborhood Shopping
New stories mean new ideas, new looks and new approaches to design—not to mention new places for us to spend all of our free summer time. Here, we show you four of our favorites

It’s no secret that we love to shop. And our favorite way to turn a mere outing into an adventure is to take a neighborhood approach. Embracing the spirit of mid-season leisure, we visited four retailers in different parts of town—all opened within the year. From Wedgwood and Redmond’s charming accents and gifts to Georgetown and Bellevue’s elegant furnishings, each destination reveals a wonderfully independent style.
