A practical and enjoyable way to upgrade your wardrobe or pick up unique gifts, the Private Shopping Tour from Seattle to North Bend Premium Outlets offers a relaxing, customized experience.

The tour is fully private, which means your group gets undivided attention, and the vehicles are clean, well-dressed, and comfortable — a big plus when spending hours on the road.
What we love most about this experience is the convenience of hotel pickup and return, saving you the hassle of figuring out transportation on your own, and the opportunity to shop at prestigious boutiques with unbeatable prices. Plus, the outlets’ location just off I-90 makes for a scenic drive with beautiful views of the Cascade Mountains—a nice backdrop to a day dedicated to retail therapy.
One potential drawback is the fixed 4-hour shopping window, which might feel hurried if you’re someone who loves to browse leisurely.
