Depending on who you are, walking through Swanson's can either be really boring, or really expensive. A high-quality, they have a huge variety of plants, but, (un?)fortunately for me, I tend to kill most flora my fingers come in contact with. That doesn't keep me away from the rest of their selection, though - in particular, they are the only place in Seattle that regularly sells intact wine barrels (which are useful for rain catcher systems).
