cpl100 Posted July 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Would like to buy two bottles of champagne while in Seattle. Will be staying at the Kimpton Palladian. Any recommendations for nearby liquor store? What hours do are your liquor establishments usually open? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeva Posted July 18, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I plan on going to Total Wine and getting our bubbly before our cruise to carry onboard - they have the best prices. There are a few of them in the Seattle area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherryf Posted July 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2016 You do not have to go to a liquor store for wine/champagne. It is carried in grocery stores, convenience stores, Target, etc. Quality may vary by location. I prefer to buy at Trader Joe's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted July 18, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2016 There is a wine store at the north end of Pike Place Market called Pike and Western. Also a Target on 2nd just a bit south of your hotel. If you go through the market, there is also a DeLaurent's which may have some champagne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANCING GRANDMOMMY Posted August 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2016 We are not going into town, just SEA and then to Cedarbrook Lodge. Any place along there? How about the airport? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're sailing from Pier 91 have your driver stop at the Wine Outlet on Elliott Avenue just before the turnoff to the cruise terminal. http://seattlewineoutlet.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notentirelynormal Posted August 31, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Don't do it man! I bought a bottle of brandy and butterscotch liquour. Normally, in California my brandy is around $20 and the brandy around $9. I walked out of Fred Meyers thinking, what the heck did I buy for $90? I would put the website in. Then put in a Washington zip code and see what prices come up. Then make a decision about buying in Washington as opposed to having it in your suitcase or buying on board.

PNW Traveler Posted August 31, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2016 We are not going into town, just SEA and then to Cedarbrook Lodge. Any place along there? How about the airport?Thanks for your help. Cedarbrook Lodge is a superb lodging choice, but I can't think of any wine shops or other stores stocking a nice selection of wine that are within walking distance. Minimarts may have wine, but selection is usually basic and limited. There is a "Made in Washington" store at SeaTac airport outside security in the main concourse. There should be Washington wines available for purchase. (We Washingtonians are proud of our wine!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when WA privatized their alcohol sales, they put some hefty taxes on it, along with rules on how the prices must be presented. If you're going to buy here, ask how the taxing works so you at least know what the surprise will be at the register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we pay high sales tax on certain items, but we don't pay state tax. Being from Cali. originally, I would rather pay more for alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted September 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 2, 2016 When I'm in downtown Seattle I buy wine at the Kress IGA grocery store at 1427 3rd Avenue. Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequim88 Posted October 19, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 19, 2016 A little bit old thread but for future searchers... Total Wine has recently opened a store pretty close to Pier 91. About 2/3 mile each way. Walk-able for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
