PITAYA
CLOTHING
( 206-548-1001; 4520 University Way NE; 11am-9pm Mon-Sat, to 8pm Sun; 72)

Locals in the know come to Hardwick's to explore the rows and rows of
buckets filled with bizarre little gadgets and gizmos. Some people probably know what
these objects are for, but most shoppers are looking for things to use in their art pro-
