• Why Go: Still in need of some new summer digs? This weekend will be the perfect time to hit up the Redmond Town Center, as the outdoor shopping center will host a sidewalk sale featuring Eddie Bauer, Macy's, REI and nearly 50 of its other retailers. But local arts and crafts vendors will also be a major draw, with more than 60 separate entities selling their wares. Food stands and live entertainment are sure to make the event a hit with non-shoppers as well.

As you travel on the shop hop, have your passport stamped at each shop and receive a kit for a quilt block that will include the block pattern created by the individual shop as well as the three fabrics. To be eligible for prizes, turn in a passport stamped by at least 16 shops in Western Washington by Sunday at 5 p.m.  You must be 21 years old to be eligible for prizes.
