Take me with you, you are in for a great trip. Yes to all that has been said,
We were told to take the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle, that was a great insiders tip. You are on the water for over an hour in beautiful scenery, and arrive I Seattle from the water site, and best of all it only costs 4 dollars for the return trip.
Have fun

In the Beginning is located in Seattle and they have there own fabric line(s). It would be a good starting place, and they might be able to refer you to places in Victoria, etc.
Also, That Patchwork Place/Martingale publishers are there and used to have times when folks could go buy the books at a discount...best thing would be to do a search on the internet for the towns you’re going to visit.
Gossypium (Latin word) in Issaquah is one of the top rated shops in the USA this year. Might be worth a side trip if you can plan to be there when the roads aren’t clogged.
Pacific Fabrics has several locations and is worth visiting.
Belleview, Bothell, Woodinville...all have nice shops. Best thing is to do a search.
Just reading through this reply.... In the Beginning in Seattle hasn't had a store front for some time, as far as I know.... so before you head out on your journey... maybe google each shop and call to confirm they are still in business or an actual store. At least 5 and maybe more years ago, I have also visited many of the places mentioned.... some are not there anymore .... and some areas even have new shops.... enjoy your trip!
