How this list works

Every gift above comes from a Seattle shop in this guide, and every one has a Seattle or Pacific Northwest story: Native-designed goods from a Seattle studio, cards and tea towels by Seattle illustrators, glass hand-blown in Seattle, or a mug of Mount Rainier. Each price was checked on the shop's own site on October 30, 2026. Prices and stock change through the season, so the shop's page always has the final word.

The picks are grouped by budget, under $50, $50 to $150, and a few splurges, and you can filter them by who you're shopping for. Two stops sit on 1st Ave by Pike Place Market, two more are downtown, and the last two are in University Village and Fremont.

Pike Place Market: Native-designed art, jewelry and blankets

Across 1st Ave from the Market, Eighth Generation (1406 1st Ave) is a Native-owned brand that sells only Native-designed goods. Picks here include Andrea Wilbur Sigo's Raven print, Bethany Fackrell's Star Stories earrings, the Forever Connected hoops, Louie Gong's Coast Salish Pattern Scarf, made in the brand's Seattle studio, and Bethany Yellowtail's Sisterhood blanket. The shop is cashless.

Downtown: local makers and the art museum

On the third floor of Pacific Place, The Handmade Showroom (600 Pine St, Suite 330) sells work by local makers. That's where you'll find Lauren Nishizaki's PNW Vignettes card set and Cherry Blossoms tea towel, plus Ilee Papergoods' Greetings from Seattle Lake Union card, printed in Seattle.

The Seattle Art Museum Shop (1300 First Ave) has the Hammering Man tee, a retro tee for the Seattle Asian Art Museum, a Mount Rainier porcelain mug, Winter Wonderland boxed notes from the SAM Collection, a koi plush made for SAM and a striped scarf from Seattle Silver. For a splurge, there's Seattle designer Irene Wood's Jade and Steel Necklace.

University Village: glass blown in Seattle

glassybaby (2623 NE University Village St) is a locally owned Seattle company. Its bring 'em back votive is hand-blown in Seattle, and the Washington drinker is the pick for Huskies fans.

Fremont: an orca hoodie

Portage Bay Goods (621 N 35th St) is a Fremont gift shop with Seattle souvenirs and local artists. It sells the Orca Seattle Skyline Zip Up Hoodie, designed and printed in Portland, Oregon.

For more ideas, see our Pike Place Market, Downtown, University Village and Fremont pages.
