Seattle Holiday Shopping Guide: Queen Anne


Queen Anne is one of my favorite neighborhoods of all time. Nevermind that I live and work here on the hill (that in itself makes me only slightly partial), but rather, it's the amazing business owners on Queen Anne that work hard to curate the best mix of products in order to create a unique shopping experiences for their guests. In Seattle we are lucky to have so many independent boutiques to shop from this holiday season. Here's a list of Queen Anne boutiques you won't want to miss on your holiday shopping adventures.

Queen Anne Dispatch
Queen Anne Dispatch has been a staple on the hill since it was founded in 1987 by Jan Paolini. They just recently celebrated 25 years on the hill. The store is filled with an amazing assortment of apparel, shoes, jewelry and gift items from brands like French Connection, Kelsi Dagger, Butter London and Vince Camuto. They even gift wrap and ship all over the world making any gift giving occasion a breeze. The staff is well-versed on product knowledge and always eager to help you find what you need.
