I am going to PR Seattle on Monday from Canada and I thought I would check out Hancocks and Joann the day before. Yes, that's right ladies, someone admitting they WANT to shop at the big chain stores! I need to see the giant walls of fleece for myself, I guess.

I will be driving through Bellingham and then southwest to Seattle, so if anyone has a favourite Joann or Hancocks to recommend, advise away.

Cheap fabrics, like cheap shoes, are a false economy.

Hey Vivienne, check out the store reviews too. You may find some other stores along the way.

I believe the closest Hancock on I-5 is in Lynnwood, just south of Bellingham here. Its a good store and everything is very tidy. There is also a Joanns just around the corner from them second one on list. I haven't visited this one but its a "superstore" so there is larger stock.
If you look on the list, there are several smaller ones also that are more intown of Seattle.
Also there is Pacific Fabrics located in the neighborhood of Northgate of Seattle. Very nice fabrics here. There is a location in Everett that is the same company but I've not yet visited there.

Hope this helps!
