| Who's been to the moonlight madness sale at the Seattle Premium Outlets?
I'm planning on going to the moonlight madness sale at the Premium outlets and I've never been there for that, I was just wondering if anyone can share any experiences they had down there, how busy it was, how early you had to go, and how busy the borders are. I don't want to go too early just because basically everything will be closed because of their Thanksgiving, but I don't want to miss out on deals and go too late. Anything you can share would be great! Thanks for the help in advance.
JL

Basically it's crazy busy at midnight and crazy busy at 8am onwards. If you want to shop in peace, I recommend around 3am as the "hardcore" people have left but there is lots left to check out and with WAY shorter lines. I got there around 7 last year and it was just starting to get busy and by 8 or 830 it was crazy. Hope that helps.

Damn, that's exactly where I wanted to go too. I just really wanted to go to the Burberry store and that's about it. Got a baby on the way and wanted to get it some Burberry clothes.

Actually although I'm not a huge Burberry whore, I have been downright unimpressed with their sale for the past 2 years that I've gone. They have a huge line outside and just havent seen that much stuff that was discounted that heavily. Disappointing imo.

Thanks for the input! Do they basically have a percentage off? or are they all in-store markdowns. Do you think it's even worth waiting for that sale? Because it sounds like a huge hassle

I went two years ago, jeez christ it was a gong show filled with people
We ended up parking on the grass cause they're were no parking spots..
Is Seattle Premium your only option? Cause you'd have a better chance at malls I'd say Seattle Premium has gone down every since like five years agos..
Theres honestly nothing special about the Burberry Outlet there either

If you're going just to check out the Burberry store I don't think it'd be worth it. Their selection is pretty disappointing and their prices were barely discounted. I think even with the sale you most likely won't find anything you'll like.
You could check it out though and head south about 30 mins and check out Bellevue Square, they've got a couple good stores there including a Burberry store.

I'm pretty sure the Burberry store in Bellevue Square is going to be crazy expensive like the one in Vancouver. Well, I guess you should expect that when wearing a brand like that but don't feel like spending THAT much for something my baby will wear half a year.

Yea I went couple of years ago, regardless of what time you go its packed! Arrived around 2am-ish and the parking was difficult. All the big stores you have to line up to get inside then line up to purchase, depending on the store it may take 3+ hours just to buy something at one store.
Not really worth the time or effort.

most stores offer Pre-Black friday deals online to prevent the massive rush on the day. I know macys does.

I went last year with some friends.
It was the craziest thing i've ever done.
If you don't get there early, you will NOT find parking!
Solution.. Go to the casino and do Valet. It is free just be sure to tip the guy after =D
Unlike some stores in Vancouver, the stores in premiumoutlets do not restock during the night.
side note; if you want anything from Columbia be prepared to wait 90-120mins to checkout. I know because that's how long I waited to get some jackets and fleeces. Prices were really good though!

OMG - I'm never doing Black Friday shopping ever again.
Saw someone get trampled @ a Walmart for $10 DVD players one year.
