Seattle residents: Don't miss Seattle Shopping Week Out, taking place September 10th-18th. Presented by Seattle Magazine and Fashion First, the first ever Shopping Week Out will feature week long sales and discounts at tons of boutiques and clothing stores all over the city.

Similar to New York's Shopping Week Out, this event is city-wide and intended to help stimulate the local economy while supporting fashion and the arts. A percentage of all sales will be donated to the Rise n' Shine Foundation, which provides emotional support and education to children and teens affected by HIV/AIDS.

While here, be sure to attend Fashion First’s 7th annual runway show on September 16th where local designers and retailers will be featured.
