Check out Made in Washington. Unfortunately the Simply Seattle souvenir stores - like the one near Pike Place Market don't do mail order. Those stores would have a lot of stuff for a 10-year-old.

Could always get her some Fran's chocolate or Beecher's cheese. Although I'm not sure how they ship the cheese in small quantities without it getting too warm. I guess it's fine, though?

Since you live in Ugly ass Texas...I highly suggest you give her Seattle. I lived in Austin and Seattle. There is no comparison. Seattle is one of the most beautiful scenic cities in North America. Only Vancouver BC give a run for the money. Move to Seattle.

Just did a search..Here are the results. Maybe either make her a page that features all kinds of Seattle pictures and info..or print some pictures and let her paste them all over one wall in her bedroom. I'd be very curious how she got obsessed w/ Seattle if it wasn't a TV show.

I'd go with Space Needle... shirts, and there is a Lego toy. There is a birthday dessert that they serve at the restaurant in the space needle.. used to be called "the lunar orbiter" .. It's basically an ice cream Sunday with a dish of dry ice under it so its all misty/cloudy. You could try and duplicate that for her.

Also search online for Pike Place Market.. you should be able find related promo items.

The Puget Sound and the ferry system is big around here too.. so maybe something ferry related. When you visit take the ferry to Bainbrige island and get a treat at Blackbird Bakery and some Mora Ice Cream.

If she's a reader, here are some suggestions:


Amazon.com: Pike Place Market: 100 Years: Celebrating America's Favorite Farmer's Market: The Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority: Books

It Happened in Seattle: Remarkable Events That Shaped History

And I highly recommend this one: Sons of the Profits: There's no business like grow Business

Totally agree on Sons of the Profits although there are minor aspects that may not be good for a ten year old, specifically the "seamstresses" brought to Seattle because the men were lonely. Anyone moving to Seattle should read the book as a way to understand how Seattle got started. Since Seattle is a young city, the stories are not that old which making them even more humorous when you realize this was only about 150 years go. The Great Seattle Fire and rebuilding was in 1889 which tells you how young Seattle is.

Space Needle decorations. Green and blue colors that represent the theme of Seattle. Sounders and Mainers jersery's. Maybe some Starbucks things. Mt. Rainer can be another decorations. A seattle themed birthday can would be nice too.

Put a bike lane through her bedroom

Put a camera in the hallway between her bedroom and the bathroom. Every time she uses that hallway, snap her picture and take a portion of her allowance. If she passes through the hallway during peak hours, take twice as much. Perodically close the hallway for "cross-traffic".
