Whether you’re moving to Seattle from across the country or are just relocating across town, chances are a need for cheap, budget-friendly furniture and décor is still on your radar. Although the city’s Pacific Northwest locale can leave things chilly and drizzly, don’t expect Seattle’s décor style to be all flannel and corduroy. From antique shopping in the trendy Capitol Hill neighborhood to the funky boutiques in Fremont, Seattle has a plethora of home décor stores to fit your price range.
