The Upper Playground
Used to be it was a Portland or San Fran destination. But now Seattle's got our very own Upper Playground. This distinctive clothing store features contemporary graphic design by urban artists on casual apparel. The artists on their roster include Sam Flores, Jeremy Fish, David Choe, Estevan Oriol and Alex Pardee. Printed on high-quality, robust tees and hoodies, these are clothes that will stay with you for the long haul. They'll certainly survive even the most intense urban lifestyle whether it's skateboard wipeouts or DJing a Lohan party. Who couldn't love their t-shirts that incorporate classic metal band logos with the U.P. walrus? Even if t-shirts and hoodies aren't your thing you can still enjoy the clever and unique art in book form and on bags, mugs, pillows, shower curtains and accessories. They also have an art gallery, which occasionally holds shows and openings. At the very least, it's a great place to find your next tattoo idea. Be sure to check out their website for more information about the artists and upcoming gallery shows, plus some pretty funny videos.
