Seattle winter can be rough for many but the good news is that we are just weeks away from its end. While spring in Seattle typically means lots of rain, it’s also the start of longer and warmer days. If you’re looking to add florals for spring or lighter sweaters, whatever you might need for spring, Seattle has plenty of great places to shop.

Instead of heading to your regular big box store why not check out a local vintage shop? You’ll find one-of-a-kind pieces while being eco-friendly and supporting local. That’s a win-win-win if you ask us. Here are 10 of the best vintage shops in Seattle to refresh your wardrobe

Fremont Sunday Market

Sure it’s not exactly a vintage shop but it is reliable in that it has tons of vendors and happens every Sunday. You can find clothes, home goods and much more. So grab some new pieces and bring some fun new trinkets home for yourself or friends.

This long-standing spot for Seattle vintage has it all. Seriously they have clothes from pretty much every decade and they also claim to be Seattle’s biggest vintage clothing shop. Honestly, it’s probably true as the store has an overwhelming number of racks that are definitely worth sorting through.

Where: 4560 University Way NE
Hours: Sunday-Thursday 11 AM-7 PM, Friday-Saturday 11 AM-8 PM

Lifelong Thrift

Yet another spot that’s not exclusively vintage. But we love lifelong for a few reasons. Firstly, they have a great selection of items and secondly their proceeds go to help those with HIV/AIDS and other chronic conditions. So shop for a good cause at Lifelong!

Where: ​312 Broadway East
Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11 AM-7 PM

Fremont Vintage Mall


As the name suggests, this spot is truly a mall for vintage goods. Beyond tons of clothes, you can find unique vintage furniture, small goods, and other cool vintage stuff you didn’t know you needed. So grab some new sweaters and a cool vintage cozy blanket because why not?

Where: 3419 Fremont Pl N
Hours: Daily 11 am-7 pm
