They had a small package of salmon sashimi there in a small pack with two pieces in it for $3.49. The produce section was nice too. The beer & liquor selection is huge, but they don't have any light beer a available there. Weird. They sell fresh flowers and plants there too. The cashier was friendly. He wrapped up the soup in rubber bands so it wouldn't spill. There are more stores in this shopping center as well as some teriyaki place upstairs. I think that this place is open 24/7, or late at least.

Worthy of an occasional visit with its a convenient ATM, customer parking lot, and located on a major Metro bus route. My recent visit yesterday included Crackerjack Contemporary Crafts and Trophy (6/23/18). I have stopped in also to Yazdi to browse and to dine at Chutney's. Sometimes got to shake it up from malls, outlet centers, box stores and online e-commerce...discoveries await you with a visit to Wallingford Center.

A sweet, quaint and cozy center with a handful of boutique shops. The building is reminiscent of an…read moreold schoolhouse, converted to host shops and a cafe, restaurant downstairs. It's quiet and cozy and seems that the shops are quite specialized, many items feeling more like small gifts you may wish to give rather than items one would purchase and keep in their own possessions. Shop staff were friendly and greeted us warmly as we peruses their specialty selections.

Crown Hill Plaza is quickly becoming my favorite local hangout. It's a miniature shopping area with…read morea Chevron gas station, a Blockbuster, a Papa John's Pizza, a McDonald's, and a few other businesses. What typically happens is I pick up some movies at Blockbuster (we have that movie club thing) and then go to either McDonald's or Papa John's for food and then get some gas. Sometimes I pick up a paper at the convenience store connected to McDonald's. The only troubling aspect is that some fucker always decides to park his or her car in the middle of the shopping center, NOT IN ANY PARKING SPOT but right in the middle of traffic. This shopping plaza gets a fair amount of traffic, so every time some ASSHOLE does this it's a huge inconvenience to everyone else and an accident waiting to happen. No one expects to drive into a shopping plaza and find a car right smack in the middle, 50 feet from the nearest parking spot. It's happened twice now and the cars have been parked there for several minutes at a time. I don't know if it's someone returning their videos or what, but that's why there are parking spots. Societies have rules, and when you break these rules there are consequences. If it happens again, fucker, I'll have my wife key your car (which she seems to have a fascination with) or I'll buy some tacks and leave them strategically placed near your tires.

I have no clue on what happened to Northgate. I used to love this cozy alley way of a mall and it…read morewas vibrant and rich with diversity in shops and clientele. The kiosks were fun and it was one of the only places I could get a watch chrystal replaced. JC Penney's used to be cool and the smell of Ivars, Subway, Taco Bell and Panda Express brought back the 90's nostalgia of cd's and getting new kicks. Fast forward to 2025 and the indoor mall has been closed for a long time. The only thing left is a shell of Red Robin's, Nordstrom Rack, and the outside businesses such ad chipotle AT and T and Barnes and Nobles. I was reminiscing on Blue Finn buffet, Azteca and Bed Bath. I guess there's lots of remodeling going on and the Kraken ice rink is built which draws a different vibe. It feels more disjointed as a mall and more of a huge lot with random businesses that are mismatched. Target across the way is still going strong but the crime in that area is high. I miss the old Northgate and the community vibe it attracted.

It's a great alternative for indoor play space in the small play area at one end of the mall, but can get busy and the older children have a tendency to plow into the smaller ones.

I have been coming to University Village, and its surroundings, in Seattle for approximately over…read more30 years now. The store offerings have changed over the years, though not everything. Parking has been consistently stubborn. The parking garage I used on my visit today, North Garage on Tuesday 24 March 2026, had themed levels. I opted for the C Level which was color of pink and animal of cow. At the elevator, a cow "moo" sounded when I pressed the button for the elevator. By this level, more spaces were opened up, so a better day for parking of recent times. Walkways in the village are open to the natural elements. Some of the businesses have umbrellas available for use in shopping. The grounds and pedestrian spaces have tended to be clean in my experiences. In 2010 and 2011 when I was a student at the University of Washington, I walked to University Village so parking was a non-issue, those were quicker turn around in time visits though I did not have the carrying/storage space of a vehicle.

It's a good mix and something is bound to catch your eye even if you weren't planning on getting something in particular. I came here for lunch over the weekend and it was bustling. There was plenty of seating around outside for people to lounge around with their families. It appears pretty kid friendly too, with some water installations for children to jump around. There are also courtesy umbrellas to use for inclement weather - a thoughtful gesture. I'm not sure how they manage cold-ish weather though. Probably not as fun to shop when it's freezing out, although this is a pretty rare situation. I also spotted a security guard, but I felt pretty safe throughout my visit.

It's a hip little indoor market at Capitol Hill with a few restaurants and a handful of retail shops. Although we mainly window shopped and just browsed around, I couldn't help but fall in love with all the lovely aesthetics. There were meats, cheeses, wine, cute little household goods, art pieces, oh my! I also noticed a few familiar names like Sitka and Spruce, a popular restaurant that I stumbled upon while researching 'must eat' spots in Seattle. I wish we had more time to look around. We didn't get to go upstairs, but I'll just have to plan for that on my next visit to Seattle. It's just down the street from the Starbucks Reserve and an easy add-on to any itinerary. Whether you're looking for snacks, coffee, or a complete dining experience -- you'll find something to enjoy here.
