We were visiting from Wheeling, West Virginia. We stayed at the Westin downtown and it was the perfect location for the Market, downtown shopping, Ferry to Bainbridge Island, dinner at Barolo and Canlis. Our sons drove to San Juan Islands for a day. It was the last week of September and the weather was perfect. We had a wonderful stay! As for Bloomsbury, it's one of those bags that definitely looks better on vs in the boutique. It's a beautiful cross body and as someone else mentioned, perfect for travel too since its roomy, good for all weather, yet still light and comfortable to wear. It also looks very nice with lots of different outfits.
