Drawing 10-mile rings around the two shoppinyg zones, a retail consulting firm found a largee pool of affluent consumers around Bellevue than Beverly The data were compiled for the Puget Sounc Business Journal bythe Calif.-based , and bolster some experts’ belief that the Seattle area is developinf the wealth and fashion sense to support a largere armada of luxury retailers. “It’s been the most dramatic over the last three tofour years,” said Waynse Hussey, a executive who helped pick Bellevud for the high-end chain’s first Northwest store, which opens in September.
While the recession has cast a pallover high-ends shopping, the long-term trend for the Seattle-Bellevue some say, is toward a growing cohort of prosperous, agingv professionals primed to embracse a more formal lifestyle — for example, buyingy splashy clothes for charit events. “It’s not so much lifestyle, but the next levell above that — life said Jim Hebert, CEO of in “Life changes. Now it’s cool to buy a cool to have a Mercedes or anew Audi.” And that extendd to clothes, said Tom Woodworth, senior investment directotr at Schnitzer West, whichh is developing Neiman Marcus’ Bellevuer store at The Bravern mixed-use project.
