Seattle Premium Outlets

This place is just too far away to consider it «Seattle.» 50 minutes north of Seattle without traffic makes this place quite the trek to hunt for some deals. They do have quite the selection of brand names, ranging from Burberry to Kenneth Cole, Nike to Abercrombie, Coach to Michael Kors to name a few. But just like any other outlet mall is the selection is either last year’s models/​styles, or you can’t find your size (if you’re considered average in American sizes).
Outlet pricing is arguably not that great. It’s cheaper than paying full retail I suppose but you almost feel forced to buy something just because it’s a good deal rather than something you want/​need only because you have to drive so far to get here in the first place.
Maybe it’s just me though, there seems to be quite a few people up here that don’t have a problem finding stuff to buy. My second gripe would be the lackluster food court. A slim selection of 4 fast foods isn’t the best choice of fuel for a day of shop til you drop. Given that there are a few chain restaurants in the parking lot as well as Tulalip Casino next door. It’d be a better place for foreigners to shop and gamble and stay versus a local trekking 2 to 3 hours in traffic from the south end to end up with $ 30 of savings and coming home with two t-​shirts and a pair of socks.
I suppose overall the place is okay if you’re in the area. But bang for buck to travel ratio isn’t justifiable. I’d rather spend the extra $ 100 and stay locally and get the newest styles closer to home.

It’s an outdoor mall. It’s right by the Tulalip Casino. A lot of the times traffic getting in and out can be pretty busy. But you got all your stores and lots to do. I still don’t know why they’re called Seattle Premium Outlets because it’s nowhere near Seattle. That’s kind of deceptive.

I love this store. The manager greeted me soon as I walked in the door. I bought several dresses that I could wear to work. Hope that I could return to this store before heading home to Hawaii.

Like this outlet mall. I think that it might be the best outlet mall in Washington state period. Plenty of restaurants around the area as well.

Two reasons for a star deduction: It’s in BFE, and there is little to no cover over this OUTDOOR shopping mall. If you’re not a fan of being in the rain and getting a little wet, this place isn’t for you.
On the upside, this place has EVERYTHING and really great deals! There are several places to eat, including a few Starbucks, a hotdog stand, and a little food court that has a Subway and a teriyaki place.
The variety of stores that SPO offers is great too. Pretty much anything you’d need to find, you could find here. A few of their stores are being renovated right now, but they make sure to accommodate for customers and keep everything open despite construction.
Every time I’ve gone here I’ve had a great time and have walked away with several purchases… Definitely one of Washington’s best outlets!

I had an amazing time shopping here especially, at the True Religion store where I received great deals and customer service. Every store I entered all the employees treated me with care. I would shop here again if I’m ever in Washington.

This mall is an outdoor mall. Check the weather before you come! Bring jackets & umbrellas if necessary.
I don’t necessarily think the prices were outrageously cheaper than you find at regular stores.
However, I do find it necessary to share these two photos with you. LOL!
1. Check out THIS deal at TaylorMade.
2. (Perhaps I am a num nut)…but, I have no idea how to pronounce the name of this other store.

The Outlet Mall is getting worse with the car break-​ins and Security needs to be increased. I know of 8 incidents in the past 6 months where people’s vehicles have been broken into, two right in front of a store. Most recent, was on Monday when this nice couple parked AND LOCKED their Jeep Renegade. The thieves used a device to punch into the door locks including the read door and took the luggage and other things. The folks were from Tillamook, OR on their way to Friday Harbor for three nights. This put a damper on the start of their mini-​vacation. One of the items stolen was a one-​of –a-​kind suitcase shaped like a miniature saddle. Unique and was a special gift from her friends.
The other area that is bad is the actual casino, where the valet parking is located. Several cars have been stolen over the past few months. There should be more security for this area as well.
This is going to take away business unless more security and the Tulalip Police Department patrol more often.

I think this is the hugest outlet mall in Seattle that lots of brand named stores. However, because of it’s popularity, it’s super crowded and all the things I wanted to buy were all out of my size, whether it was shoes or clothes.
No brand foods though to take home since we have the same candy stores in hawaii.

I really like this outlet mall. Many name brands are here like Nike, L’Occitane, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, and Ann Taylor. There are other shops that I like too like Guess, Hot Topic, Lane Bryant, Le Crueset, Skechers, and Swarovski.
It’s in Tulalip, not Seattle, right next to the Tulalip Casino. Be prepared for a drive if you were thinking this is in Seattle.
Sometimes sales are crazy like 70% off and other times it’s just a few dollars less than a regular store. You can check out the outlet’s website for when they are having sales. Back-​to-​school sales is going to be 7÷31−8÷9.
The only cons to the Seattle Premium Outlets is that it’s really far away from Seattle, 60 – 90 minutes north, and all of the entrances are outside since it rains here 6 – 9 months of the year. I don’t want to be packing around clothes and other things that I bought in the rain.
They have a really big parking lot but it gets totally full during holidays or when the Tulalip Hotel is having an outdoor concert. I was surprised when I came here on Columbus Day and found out British Columbia had all decided to come shopping as I had forgotten it was their Thanksgiving. Be prepared to walk really far away when it’s a holiday.

My suggestion would be to get there very near to when they open to avoid the crowds. Yes there are a lot of Canadians, but so what… they shop too. There’s a little bit of everything here.
So pack your patience and go window shopping, people watching or whatever you want.

«Meh. I’ve experienced better.» about sums up my experience here to a T.
Driving back from Vancouver, we decided to drop by this Outlet store to check out their merchandise, specifically, Nike.
Pro: The place is HUGE and if you are looking for a particular name brand, chances are, they will have it. The Con — and I can’t help but snicker as I wrote that word here since I think THIS IS the con of this place: EVERYTHING has a BIG 70% off sign!!! The catch? the words «up to» before it. And sometimes, you can’t even see those words until you’re about literally two or three steps away from entering the store of your choice.
In EVERY store I went in – Nike, Jockey, Perfume place whose name eludes me at the moment and Calvin Klein — there was NOTHING I like that was ACTUALLY 70% off! To aggravate things, I honestly think that the prices of those merchandise where actually «bumped up» so that the prices you will pay after the advertised «discount» is actually the same as those at any department store! What a rip off!
As I was driving away, it made me wonder if the word «Premium» in this joint’s name actually is the hint that you will be paying «premium» prices that are in my book, NOT synonymous with «outlet» prices. Premium Outlets are OXY MORON!

The first couple times I came here I wasn’t too fussed, but it has grown on me. I had to figure out the deals /​get my bearings. I’m 24 and just starting my career, so I’m always looking for business casual clothes.
I walked away with a pair of Cole Hann flats that were originally $ 180 for $ 43, two nice tops from Ann Taylor for $ 65, a pair of black pants from American Eagle that were originally $ 50+ for $ 32, and a Kate Spade phone case for $ 20 instead of $ 40 this past Sunday.
I got a car coat from Theory last fall for about $ 100, super super nice and originally around $ 500. Coach always has great deals, just gotta be careful about purses that are made for the outlet. Nike is worth while too, every year I find some nice trainers for kicking around in for about half the original price or less.
They have a whole selction of brands from Forever 21 to Burberry. I find coming here about twice a year is perfect to stock up on deals.
The Starbucks line is always out of control, but the food court isn’t bad. I always just eat at the pizza place, a Greek salad and a slice of pizza. Not the best ever, but not horrible!

Yes, I am one of the Canadians supporting the American economy. We love our «free» healthcare, but our taxes are too high to do clothes shopping, and there’s better variety down south anyway. Teehehehehehehehe.
I went to Seattle Premium Outlets on a Tuesday, and it was (not surprisingly) pretty empty. However they have a 10% off deal in participating stores, so we took advantage of that quite well.
As someone who’s been to many of the premium outlet stores in Canada and the US, Seattle is rated around the middle. There’s decent variety such as Seiko and Hollister, but it definitely pales compared to Desert Hills or Woodbury, though those two are considered the top tier premium outlet malls in the US.
However considering the surrounding area and the not-​so-​large amounts of tourists that come by (at least, from my visit), this outlet mall does its job well.

Seattle Premium Outlets have really improved since I visited 2 years ago.
They have tons of new stores and I’ve had the most successful shopping trip in ages. I ended up buying a beautiful wrap dress from Dianne von Furstenberg, a purse from Kate Spade, runners from Nike and heels from BCBG. That’s definitely a score for me!
The only thing I wish they would improve was their food court. It’s still the same sad food choices without any healthy options besides Subway.

Been here couple of times before. Every know end then they would have very good sales but for the regular season not much to look for.
Very last season selections and not much choice.
It gets so crowded during Holiday Sales that is overwhelming.
Went there last time to get couple of shoes for my cousin as a gift.
Find nice one at the Nike Outlet Store and got couple in Adidas Outlet Store just cause they were chip :)
Would recommend to go early in the to avoid crowds and ask for extra discount coupons in stores, online or in food court — will help you to save extra $ 10 – 25 on each transaction.
Food court is not appealing better to go to Tulalip Casino and get food there.
When it is busy it is hard to find a Parking !

As a Canadian who comes down to shop occasionally, I’d judge an outlet based on selection of stores, comfort while you’re there, and customer service.
For Seattle Premium Outlets, I was very pleased with the selection of stores where there was a good balance that catered really to all ages I have come with. I also like the stands that rotate products. Only thing is that there isn’t full coverage so I can’t make it a one stop shop. Four stars.
As far as level of comfort, there is a food court, nearby restaurants, clean washrooms (relative to other outlets), plenty of parking, and ample coffee available. Also has a good number of resting spots indoors and outdoors. Food court food is very meh for shoppers who are here as a group and without a car. Still, overall good. Four stars.
Service is the only thing that lacked while I was here. Cleaning staff do a great job and are very on top of things. Store staff overall is pretty meh and seem tired or removed all of the time, at times not even answering questions you ask. Three stars.

Disappointed. So disappointed!
Drove up to the outlet from downtown Seattle on the last day of our stay for some retail therapy…
Entry way: Seriously this complicated? There’re two circle ways to pass before you get the the entrance to the parking where ¼ belongs to the restaurant in the area. Be careful because your car might get towed.
Stores: The only nice thing here is that there are HUGE signs all over the area telling you which your favorite stores are located at. Beside the signs, I find there’re less selections/​items to choose from comparing to the ones in CA.
Restrooms: Need I say more? Dirty, out of service and all. Disappointed!
Overall: I wish I could’ve had my an hour drive time back. Such a waste of my valuable time being at this «premium» outlets…
Seattle peeps please don’t get offended. I’m from LA, so you know my standards are high.

What’s the best way I can put this without sounding mean? I know! This is a very boring mall with no redeeming qualities! I think that’s the nicest way I can say it while still being honest. And actually, it is quite kind of me to be honest because the mall’s name lies twice. It is not in Seattle, and it is not premium in anything except ways to waste time. The people who drive two hours to come here are out of their freaking minds, I tell you.
And that’s probably the most obvious thing about this place. The mall probably has almost as many Canadians as Americans. And I really have to wonder why. There is a myth that Tulalip is close to the Canadian border. Is it not blatantly obvious how wrong the people who perpetuate that myth are? The place is 75 miles away from Blaine, and obviously it’s going to be more if you’re driving from distant places like Vancouver or Chilliwack.
So here’s my question. In what world is 75 plus miles not that long of a distance? In the magical world of Canada? Is Canada such a miserable place that to drive all the way here is like visiting paradise? I’ve been to Canada before and it’s not that bad; why do those people think they have nothing to do in their home country so they have to come to a god-​awful outlet mall in the United States to live better lives?
Okay, so that was like three paragraphs of ranting about Canada. It’s time to rant about the mall itself, which should be easy because it is a mall with nothing to do. What’s the most important thing about a mall? How about having a diverse selection of interesting stores? Seattle Premium Outlets has nothing but generic clothing store after generic clothing store. Seriously, doesn’t this get old after a while? Did the people of Canada run out of bears to hunt in their homeland, so they have to come here to shop for clothes instead?
Sorry. I promised to stop making fun of Canada. Now let’s talk about how the mall directory clearly illustrates how more than 50% of the place is made up of designer fashion, sportswear, and shoe stores. The majority of the remainder consists of children’s stuff, leather, accessories, jewelry, houseware, and gifts. In fact, the only other things that the mall has beside those are food and information. That’s pretty pathetic for any mall, not just this one.
I was going to try to find a way to avoid mentioning the food court, but since we’re on the subject, I guess I have to talk about how poor your options for food here are. The food court has five restaurants, all of them terrible. The Chinese one on the far left is outrageously bad and heavily rips off Canadians in its exchange rate. The Canadian dollar having only 80% of its value when converted to the American dollar is absolutely ridiculous. And the worst part is that everybody allows this to happen. Nobody cares because they’re here for the clothing, and so they’ll turn a blind eye to any crime that happens here. Arson, murder, shitty overpriced food.
Well, I won’t stand for it. It is simply not fair that so many mindless people are driven miles like sheep to such a mundane place. There is absolutely nothing interesting here. There is nothing here that you won’t get anywhere else. For that reason, I condemn the tour guides who send people en masse to Seattle Premium Outlets. I condemn the businesses for pretending to offer bargain deals. And I condemn the people who support those businesses, i.e. the customers who don’t even know they’re getting ripped off. Just let this place be wiped off the Earth and be done with it.

Free parking, huge lot, and tons of stores to choose from.
Again if you haven’t already sign up for the VIP club with Simon Premium outlets and print off individual coupons for special offers to the different stores, and make sure you print off the voucher for the free coupon book (regularly $ 5 at customer information).
My Favourite Stores:
1. Vince Camuto — seriously LOVE their shoes. They have recently closed a couple of their outlets in California because Vince bought the company back from Wilson’s Leather or something so the Seattle premium outlet location is your best bet. The pumps/​heels are full leather so SUPER comfy. They usually have great deals on boots/​sandals that range from 20% to 40%
2. Cosmetic Company Outlet — This is where I go for my bobbi brown palettes and eye shadows. Prices are beyond reasonable and lots of selection. I noticed that the single bobbi brown eyeshadow palettes are $ 15.50 here versus the $ 17.50 price point you see in the California outlets.
3. Nike — awesome prices on runners, this is a pretty large store so usually there are lots of size options. I find that the prices at this Nike are better than the Burlington outlet Nike store — plus they have special promos often on already reduced goods. I love picking from the kids section for shorts (they’re like $ 14) so if you’re a skinny mini you can definitely get killer prices on running shorts/​pants
4. Forever 21 — this is a newer store on the promenade section of the outlet. There is a huge section for clearance sale stuff at the back of the store near the cashier’s desk. Even though most of the stuff here is just regular price Forever 21 the American price points are still better than Canadian. Even with exchange rate conversion the lower tax rate makes it more worthwhile to buy here (plus I have better luck with finding my size in the south anyways)
This outlet seems to have gotten a light face lift with the addition of «The Promenade» (more luxury stores that face the highway) and I think they added quite a few more stores so this outlet is definitely worth stopping for. More so than the Burlington one.
**Before heading down to this outlet make sure you do your research, go to the website, check the map to get an idea of the layout so you can plan your attack. There are so many stores to choose from so it is definitely worth pre-​screening to save time when you get there!

110 Geschäfte und alles was das Herz begehrt!
Das einzige Problem? Wer außer Software-​Ingenieuren und Kaffee-​Junkies verirrt sich schon nach Seattle?
Für diese und alle anderen, die sich in die überaus bereisenswerte Stadt mit ihrem legendären humiden Klima verirren: Hier muss man hin! Ein wirklich schönes, großes und entspanntes Outlet mit dem kompletten Programm von Aeropostale bis Zumiez.
Auch von Vancouver aus ist das Seattle Oulet recht günstig gelegen.
