Made In Washington

Cute little store where I shopped for my Seattle souvenirs. But Chel’s souvenirs wouldn’t be complete without… chocolates. Well one in particular was these Seattle Chocolates. I grabbed a handful of sea salts, coconut macaroons, and toffee. They were all so good but the sea salt was my favorite! Not at all too dark and dense, it was just right for me.
But they didn’t have much selections of magnets which is Chel’s thing when it comes to souvenirs.
Walked out with postcards and Seattle chocolates. So Chel was content.

Great souvenir shop full of hand crafted items. Well priced and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Also, their shipping rate is 4.99 flat for any sized item. Enjoyed shopping there.

I appreciate being contacted by Made In Washington who assured me that making all customers feel welcome is a core value in their stores. I was further assured that my feedback will be shared with their store staff. I look forward to returning for a good shopping experience when I visit Seattle again.

I really didn’t like this souvenir shop; it does not compare to Simply Seattle or the T-​shirt companies elsewhere in downtown. This place is loaded with glass pieces that sell for way out of the normal price range. The glass eco balls are really cool to look at, but they’re like $ 250 a piece. Same goes for the lawn ornaments. Nothing is just really practical here.
They got your Frans chocolate and some other things that do meet souvenir criteria but it’d save your money for Simply Seattle.

Great place to stop and shop for the tourist in everyone. Seattle space needle things and Bigfoot gifts. Take a little of Washington wherever you go. Last minute gifts for family out of town is why I stopped here. Great place for anyone

This place is great if you are buying gifts for people who don’t live in Washington and who like food. There’s a great selection of food souvenirs (chocolates, jam, chocolates, fish, chocolates, coffee, spices, coffee) and non-​food souvenirs (post cards, keychains, soap).
The prices are OK and the quality of the gifts are pretty good, too. Some of the things here might run a little higher in prices (mostly the salmon), but it’s reasonable.

One of the better souvenir shops. Not everything looks like it’s made in China (that’s because it’s clearly made in Washington). I walked out with a few gifts while my friend waited in line at Pike Place Chowder. Perfect way to get a couple things done at once and really take advantage of those long lines you’re going to be waiting in.
Staff is somewhat friendly and helpful, but I already knew what I was going in there for anyway. Only thing is that they didn’t have a good shot glass selection like other stores did.

A large selection of things I didn’t want, and I’m a pretty good shopper! It was nice to see all the things produced in Washington state but I didn’t feel the prices were reasonable.

This location is actually inside the Westlake Center on the first floor in Downtown Seattle. Pretty cool store for tourists who are looking for gifts to bring back home. They have tons of chocolates to choose from, coffees, teas, jewelry, pens, ornaments, smoked salmon, glass art similar to Chihuly’s style, Chukar Cherries, bacon salt, seasonings, dry mixes and much more.
They also sell Seattle Chocolates by piece as well, if you don’t want to get a whole package. A nice little shop to do some last minute souvenir shopping!

I think this store is a nice cross between a «tourist» shop and a «locals» gift boutique. The idea that everything comes from WA is awesome, and the stuff isn’t just trinkets and cheap souvenirs. Very cool snack options like chocolates and salmon, but also really nice blown glass pieces. Kind of a neat place for locals to go and get Seattle/​WA merch to bring/​send to family and friends in other places.
Staff is super friendly, which is also a plus for a shopping experience.

The store is OK, and the staff is always friendly. I can’t help think, however, that it’s gone too commercial. On my last visit there were a few trinkets that had «made in China» stickers on them. Duh. Really? Is that necessary? The whole charm of the store used to be that you really could get hand made items that were made in Washington.

A fairly large sized souvenier shop located in the post alley, near Pike Place Chowder. I didn’t notice a whole lot of standard souvenier stores, so this was the place for me to get my standard trip’s magnet and bottle opener keychain. Prices were really fair as well.

This place is mostly for tourists but I am not from Seattle nor do I live here (at least now, anyway) so I guess I’m one of them!
They have a lot of cool Seattle gifts. I especially like the salmon boxes. They make great gifts and the boxes are usually wooden and look cool. They’re not terribly expensive either (around $ 14-​$ 20 for a 6oz box or so).
I come place to this place whenever I want to send a gift to my parents back home (not in Seattle). Their shipping prices start at $ 7.99 and goes up depending on how much you’re sending. Pretty reasonable, I’d say.

If this was my last stop during the day (or even if we’d go to the car shortly), I would actually purchased some stuff for souvenirs/​gifts! I didn’t want to carry stuff around with me all day! People in here are super friendly, they have coffee/​tea and they offered it to us shortly after we walked in…
It looks like they have a great variety of stuff. I think of this place as more touristy than for regulars who live in the area… but they do have pastas (shaped like the Space Needle), chocolates, teas, glass blown ornaments, etc… that would make great gifts!
Definitely a cute little shop to see what kinds of things Seattle /​Washington is known for! :)

Here, I can break it down exactly what they sell: glassblown ornaments, smoked salmon in a fancy wood box, umbrellas with the space needle plastered on it, and Tully’s/Starbucks coffee. Basically, nobody who lives here needs to buy anything; if you really wanted seafood, go to Central Market in Shoreline, or Pike Place. It’s just so touristy!

This branch is located right next to Pike Place Chowder. I stopped in here to look for some gifty items to take back to the Bay. They have various food items such as Seattle Chocolates, jams/​jellies, tea and coffee, boxed Smoked Salmon, artsy glass and jewelry made in Washington, candles and body products.
Service is friendly and there will always be someone there IF you happen to have any questions. However– I left my Gucci sunglasses here as I was paying for my purchase, walked out of the store, and whilst shopping at another store I noticed it was missing, and backtracked my steps back to this store. The guy at the counter gave it to me when I asked him, but I couldn’t help but feel like he was crossing his fingers that I wouldn’t return for it. lol. Better luck next time pop!

It’s true that this store is exclusively for tourists or for people looking for Washington-​themed gifts to send out of state, but that’s what makes it PERFECT for Xmas presents for relatives or hostess gifts.
Yes, it does tend to be pricy (and you can often get the exact same items for quite a bit cheaper at a certain local drugstore chain with plenty of downtown locations). On the other hand, they have a pretty good selection of Washington-​made jewelry, art glass, gourmet foods, chocolates, coffee, and other things that make very nice gifts.
The other thing that, in my mind, makes them worth shopping is the olde-​tyme customer service. They always have plenty of employees on hand; you get greeted when you walk in the door, and periodically checked in on; and they truly LOVE to answer questions and help. If that’s to help massage tourist dollars out of wallets more easily, so be it! They gladly hand out gift bags, tissue paper, and mailing boxes as well, which makes it extra-​nice for hostess gifts.
Oh, and they give a 10% AAA discount if you’re an old lady like me and have a membership. Don’t laugh, it adds up!

Great selection of souvenirs to take back home!
I’m a «Made In Oregon» fan already (even though I didn’t do a review yet!), so I was happy to see a «Made in Washington» store! They have everything from the usual mugs and shirts, to specialty foods and art work… all made locally!
I did some damage here even after buying goodies from Pike Place Market!

Funky glassworks, smoked salmons, local jams, jellies, wine and honeys makes this shop convenient for the day traveller to grab a state souvenir when they’re short on time. I like that there’s a variety of artwork as well… like those pressed wine bottles.
A tourist spot in a mall. random yet useful to some.

Alright I know tourists are always in the market for a piece of wherever they went to bring back home. Do you really need a big ass copper statue of a salmon though? Would it look great over the toilet or something? Ok it’s not all kitsch entirely but it’s damn close!
