    Interior
    Courtney M.

    Mood - Going home Souvenirs Upon entering it was so chill and laid back. The owner Dave chatted us up about how things have changed since the last time I was home. It was nice being able to talk shop with someone who gets it. Looking around there is a little of everything. Even Sex wax so yes that was a must. And they had the right flavor Strawberry. You know when you open up something and smell it then all of the memories are flooded to your mind instantly - well this most certainly did that. I will admit I got a few items. Shot glass for my friend in NY, hoodie for the fam, and some other trinkets to remind me of home. Interior is pretty awesome. Everything is bright and colorful, and the owner is pretty amazing. It is nice to have great customer service. There are so many items in here, even beverages for that hot sunny day that comes at times. Would recommend- pricing was reasonable. You will def find something unique in here. And the logos on their clothing is custom made. Now dont get this one confused with the one from down the street over 10 years ago. This is a different location and new owner. Location is Alkai Beach Ave/ Lander - parking is streets, but it is ample

    Top 5 Reasons to Stop Here. 1. The owner 2. The customer service 3. The glasses 4. The vibe 5. The send off The owner made us feel so at home and I was just getting a pair of sunglasses because mine from home had broken. We walked upstairs and took a look around to see what all they had and I found a really cute pair of black sunglasses with some gold accents. They fit me perfectly and I couldn't be happier with them now 3 months later. We went to check out and had to wait a little bit for him to finish filling up floaties for someone... He blew up their stuff! So nice! We got up to the front and he started chatting with us. He seemed very hospitable and we talked about where he has lived and gone. He was just so great. He also has a cute little sign in book near the register. He is one of the only people to pronounce my name correctly. After the interaction he did something special for us. He brought out his conch shell and blew it and said some cool things in Hawaiian maybe and it just made the day. Such a cool little shop off the beach. Hopefully you can stop by too and get a special send off.

    I had an excellent experience shopping at West Seattle Runner. Yes, I'm guilty of buying shoes…read moreonline, but sometimes you need to shop in-person to get the correct shoes for your feet! The store is located in the Admiral district, across the street from Hiawatha Playfield. They are on the ground level of the Orion Building, with plenty of free street parking nearby. I just walked into the store and someone started helping me immediately. I could tell she was a runner and had tons of experience, so I felt comfortable trusting her guidance. In addition to measuring my feet, she also watched me walk (without shoes on) to analyze my gait. She gave me several brands/styles to try on and asked for my input after each one. I selected two pairs and I'm happy with my purchase. I think the price I paid was close to the online price and I am glad that I can support a local business instead. They also have a loyalty program, so if you spend a certain amount of money, you get a discount for the next year. In addition to being a retail store, West Seattle Runner is also involved in the local community. For example, they offer free weekly running groups and events with physical therapists. I would definitely shop here again.

    I'm a big supporter of local businesses but in this case it backfired on me. I'd always bought my…read moreshoes at Super Jock n Jill in Greenlake, but tried the local shoe store in search of some new Hokas, excited as I'd never owned any before. The sales guy was interestingly high pressure to sell me larger sizes than I'd ever worn. He measure my feet and assured me I now needed 10.5 and I'd never owned anything larger than 8. He convinced me it was the right thing to do. Imagine running with clown shoes, that's how my Hokas feel when I run. I'll not go back, and would kindly steer you to other outlets. These are not cheap shoes so make sure you go somewhere that sets you up with the right size.

    Wardrobe stylists might seem like something exclusive to celebrities in Beverly Hills, but I have…read moreused two stylists since moving to Seattle. Style By Wendy was a pure delight to work with. I hate shopping. My stress level goes through the roof when I am in the racks or in the dressing room. Wendy made the experience a lot of fun -- and I walked away with great items -- from Marshall's no less -- that I would have never bought on my own. Wendy is an expert at body shape and color coordination and how it relates to clothing and accessories. When something doesn't work in the dressing room, Wendy hits the racks while you relax until you find something that works -- or move onto the next store. For casual work wear, she steered me into v-neck tops (I've always been exclusively crew neck) that my wife absolutely adores. I picked up some dress shirts and pants as well. Wendy then helped me floss my closet and clean out all the clothes that no longer fit or are no longer hip (I've been holding onto some business attire since the mid 90's). Wendy's specialty is women, though I've seen two other men whom she's dressed and they look fantastic as well. She also offers compassionate and empowering advice and moral support to people exploring their gender identity. For a good friend, having Wendy by her side was just the courage boost she needed as she walked into the women's section for the very first time. Talk about a life changing referral. Best advice -- don't shop for a full day -- bring snacks or plan a lunch break to recharge your batteries. Most importantly, have fun and step outside your comfort zone even if you don't buy it!

    Absolutely amazing! Wendy isn't just a stylist. She's a transformationalist!

Meeting her at Nordstroms isn't just shopping-- it's an experience, where everyone knows your name. Trying on is a pleasure because all the work is eliminated. Returning home, she'll build you outfits blending your old and new items. On the outside, your transformation is quick and visible, but it's Wendy's magic that starts your real transformation from within. Thank you, Wendy, for guiding me toward being my best self. Invest in yourself. You are worth it. Hire Wendy.
