I went to the Uniqlo Downtown Seattle that opened three weeks ago yesterday, the third of December. I had imagined, hoped actually, that it would be occupying the entire Macy's building, but it covered only one side of the ground floor of the massive building.
Quick comments: it was very very very busy. Every row there were like eight people checking things out. Possibly because the store was so compact, I very much hope they're planning to expand the space into more of the building.
The items: as usual I freaking love Uniqlo and it's products, and nothing to complain about. I have limited preferences so it was kind of great for me.
The favourite part of the whole process was the checkout -- they have self checkouts, you walk to the counter, put your clothes in the bucket and that's it, it automatically detects them and puts in your cart, you don't have to scan them or anything which has traditionally been the most stressful part of the shopping experience. And then you pick a paper bag from the side (they charge extra for those paper bags, something that burnt a bit, but whatever) and off you go on your way!
Highly, highly recommend the store, lovely experience, great products, only hope they expand into the larger space.
