I'm heading there for a weekend and I'm looking to find out some good clothing and housewares shops downtown.
I'd like to find some stores that carry designer denim, shoes (vans, dunks, converse). Stuff more along the lines of urban fashion like the store GOODS sells.

Goods - 1112 Pike Street about a 5-10 minute walk from "downtown" There's a decent coffee shop a few blocks down Pike Street from there too.

or maybe the seattle people - if there are any - are just not very friendly or helpful.

I did the 5 course chef meal - it was spectacular, ate for 2 hours and felt not full but just happy afterwards.It is a little spendy, but damn was it worth it.
Also I can't recommend Ace Hotel enough, it was a great place to stay a great value for the moeny. http://www.acehotel.com/seattle/…

there's a pretty good snow/skate shop up on capital hill - 35th Ave/North. forget the address exactly.
Then, across the street from the REI flagship store there's snowboard connection. they used to be under the alaskan way viaduct but have since relocated to this new spot.
another really good snowboard shop is evogear. it's a little bit off away from downtown (but so are a bunch of things) up in fremont. a lot of their selection is online though. they do have rotating art shows each month and have some good shit up.if you're looking for a greazzy burger, head over to dick's. there are 5 or so scattered around seattle. one is right next to the seattle center and actually has indoor seating (all other ones you eat in the car). their fries are rather tasty too.

The best place in all of Seattle is a Men's boutique called Blackbird, which is actually in Ballard. They have stuff that I have never seen anywhere else. Some of their denim includes Acne, Nudie, Paul Smith, Nom De Guerre, etc as well as the other crazy brands that I have never heard of or can't remember. There is also another store in Downtown seattle called Ian, which is really good, and has G-Star, Modern Amusement, and others too. Both shops have been written up in GQ, and Mens Vogue. Not cheap though either.
Blackbird is located at 2208 NW Market St, Seattle, WA and their phone is (206) 706-4555.
Ian has two stores, one is at 1919 2nd Ave # 100, Seattle, WA and their phone is (206) 441-4055. I'm not sure of their other address, but they can tell you at the store.
There is also one other shop called Zebra Club, which is slightly more urban, and has more graphic tees, and that sort of thing. I dunno, I've only been there once. It's only about 2 blocks from Ian though, and it is at 1901 1st Ave, Seattle, WA. Their phone is (206) 448-7452. I would suggest going to Ian, and Zebra Club first since they are close into town. If you like Ian's style more, then I would suggest the trip out to Ballard (Seattle Suburb) to check out Blackbird. If you like Zebra Club more, then the trip out to Ballard is probably not worth it.
Definitely though Blackbird is a world class shop if you like that style. They can tell you how much each brand of jeans will stretch on average, and have tons of knowledge. They are also extremely friendly. When I go and and don't buy anything they never get moody or anything, and they understand that I am poor and can't always drop $150 on a shirt. I would definitely recommend them to anybody.
