I don't get to Des Moines very often (my cousin used to live there, she grew up in Burien and moved back near the 5 corners area), but I usually get to Carriage Quilts about once a year -- haven't been to Running Stitches before but will soon now that I know about it!
We haven't had a store in Renton for years, ever since Pieces closed
Quiltworks NW in Bellevue has moved and reduced their fabric selection, they just have a tiny shop now. Pacific Fabrics moved into their old location. Recently I went to Gossypium in Issaquah, they were nice and had a great selection, but sort of difficult to navigate with about as many bolts on the floor as there were in the shelves.
I'm trying really hard to use the fabrics I currently have -- but somehow you always have to buy something more to use up what you have! Although I believe in shopping locally, more and more I'm buying on-line especially when my closest options are Joann, Walmart, and Hobby Lobby (Issaquah).
