Professional shoppers know that the best place to go to get a good deal is an outlet mall. Outlet malls are often a grouping of retail stores in one location offering products that have been overstocked, outdated, or discontinued at a discounted or reduced price. Have a favorite lotion that Bath and Body Works only carries seasonally? A favorite style of jeans that Gap stopped making? Chances are you will find these items at a local outlet mall. Below is a list of local outlet malls in the Puget Sound.
