Seattle's Wallingford Center for Christmas Shopping

Seattle, WA, 98103

The Wallingford Center is a good place to do it all: you can buy something for your grandma, your parents, your niece, and your boss one of the many shops. It’s smaller than the mall, and the stores are definitely more unique - but it’ll save you driving time, and there’s plenty of parking. Around the holidays, the stores in the Wallingford Center always have great gift ideas, so make sure to check them out. These are few of the more popular stores in the Center (remember, there are 2 levels.) If you don’t find the perfect thing here, make sure to check out the surrounding Wallingford neighborhood, since there are plenty of cool little stores in the vicinity.
