Libraries, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
A classic gallery space with white walls and creaky, uneven wood floors, William Traver is like a little slice of Soho in Seattle -- without the attitude. Light pours in from large picture windows. The focus is on high-price (tens of thousands of dollars) glass art from local and international artists. Pieces are exquisite -- never too whimsical or gaudy -- and the staff is extremely courteous to those of us who can only enjoy this place as a museum and not a shop. After you're done tiptoeing around the gallery, head back downstairs and around the corner to Vetri, which sells glass art and objects from emerging artists at steep but much-more-reasonable prices.
