Seattle has plenty of pop-ups, but the best examples are still the Seasonal Pop Ups in our own Nordstrom flagship. Rather than the bazaar-meets-trunk-show admixture that one sees at plenty of pop-ups, Nordstrom models how to unite a lot of different products under one concept that is timely, fun, and beautifully displayed. Yes, the store has a lot of advantages over independent vendors making a go in temporary spaces. But it’s still a Seattle institution, and it gives the pop-up shop a polish that ought to inspire independent merchants and buyers alike. 500 Pine St., nordstrom.com
