The family went down to the Seattle Premium Outlets yesterday, which is just north of the Seattle metropolitan area in Marysville WA, a 75 minute drive from the border. We were at the Pacific Truck Crossing by 8:00AM. We waited less than 5 minutes to clear. Maybe everbody was staying home to take advantage of the sunny weather and the last of the snow.
My primary aim was to pick up some decent running socks, some books, and a watch or two, and to pick up Betty's phone-ordered Coach signature purse that even I would have to admit looks cute. As for the watches, there wasn't anything in the Seiko store for me.
The 50% off sale is misleading. There were additional discounts, so more like 70% off. I did end up picking up a "Swiss Made" Zodiac chronograph from the Fossil store. It's shown here atop a list titled 25 Novels That Stood the Test of Time and Stand Out Still from Betsy Burton's The King's English. Unfortunately, it seems to be running slow, troubling, given that its movement is quartz.
But fortunately for me, this set of outlets is nowhere as large as Woodbury Common. Betty and I were there about 10 years ago with my friend Mike who was living in Little Falls, NJ at the time.
At the Peace Arch Crossing (again, nominal wait), a sign reads: ThinkMetric.
Shaula commented that she was glad to be back home. The women are prettier here, she proclaimed, to which I smiled.
We capped the evening off with Japanese at Taisho, Metropolis. When they get things right (sporadic service), yum!
So, another anti-Adbuster weekend.
