Fremont, Seattle Shopping Guide

A map some of the coolest independent shops in Fremont, Seattle.

Bitters Co.

If your only experience with globalization involves talking to tech support guys in Bangalore, let Bitters Co. show you a different way. To Bitters Co., globalization means gathering interesting...

Deluxe Junk

Peeking inside Deluxe Junk, the displays and shelves and nooks and corners will appear to be filled with junk, garage sale fodder. Only upon closer inspection will you notice that the junk is in...

Impulse

You have to walk down a flight of stairs or through a narrow hallway to get to Impulse. But when you do you arrive in . . . New York? At least that's the way it seems. Concrete floors,...

Jive Time

We wouldn't necessarily know a rare import record from a poke in the eye, but we know enough to recognize Jive Time as the fine record shop that it is. Maybe it's the abundance of record...

Lambs Ear Shoes

Reader Suggested: Cutting edge, fashion forward lines such as Loeffler Randall, Chie Mihara and Ellen Verbeek make a perfect combination for this store. Interior is very sleek and modern. Best up and coming shoe...

Lola Pop

Reader Suggested: European clothing and shoes. French owner. Exclusive (to Seattle) lines from France and Italy. Tasteful selection.

Sonic Boom

Sonic Boom is the kind of independent record store you would hope to see in Seattle. The cozy (relative to mega-stores) spaces house a little bit of everything. You'll find some pop, but...

Tininha's

It's a good thing that Tininha's specializes in Brazilian bikinis, because they'd need a good three times the floor space to carry American swimwear (what with all the extra fabric...

Deluxe Junk

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/wa/seattle/deluxe_junk_1_web.jpg

Peeking inside Deluxe Junk, the displays and shelves and nooks and corners will appear to be filled with junk, garage sale fodder. Only upon closer inspection will you notice that the junk is in fact deluxe.

Impulse

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/wa/seattle/impulse_1_web.jpg

You have to walk down a flight of stairs or through a narrow hallway to get to Impulse. But when you do you arrive in . . . New York? At least that's the way it seems. Concrete floors, soaring ceilings and a few inspired racks of très hip clothing are worthy of The Big Apple. Browse clothing and accessories from lesser known labels out of New York, Australia, France and other fashionable...

Jive Time

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/wa/seattle/jive_time_records_1_web.jpg

We wouldn't necessarily know a rare import record from a poke in the eye, but we know enough to recognize Jive Time as the fine record shop that it is. Maybe it's the abundance of record geeks, thumbing through the collections with purpose. Or the overflowing 99-cent bin, that keeps us smiling with its eclectic mix of music we'd forgotten about. Or the esoteric conversations to...

Sonic Boom

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/wa/seattle/sonic_boom_fremont_1_web.jpg

Sonic Boom is the kind of independent record store you would hope to see in Seattle. The cozy (relative to mega-stores) spaces house a little bit of everything. You'll find some pop, but that's among a nice contingent of indie rock and electronic. Seattle indie label Subpop is well represented, as are many other indie labels and artists. The Fremont location includes a seperate...

Tininha's

http://www.jargol.com/images/stores/us/wa/seattle/tininhas_1_web.jpg

It's a good thing that Tininha's specializes in Brazilian bikinis, because they'd need a good three times the floor space to carry American swimwear (what with all the extra fabric and all). Brazilian bikinis are not only smaller, but are seemingly cuter as well. Beside teenie-weenie bikinis, the beachwear store carries all your Brazilian supermodel needs--beach totes, hats,...
