We arrive the day before our cruise from Seattle and would like to buy wine to take on board. Is there a place to buy wine within walking distance of our hotel?

Is this the Hampton Inn Airport North & cruise port?

if it is there is a strip mall very close by with some semi decent wines.

Suggestion - post the full name of the hotel/hampton inn. Most of us don't remember the address but we remember the full name:D

Addresses on XX Ave. North are north of downtown, as I recall, so I didn't think it was near the airport. I did a Google search and believe I found what I think OP is referring to -- there is a Hampton Inn at 700 5th Ave. North, near the base of Queen Anne Hill, about one block north of Mercer St., near the Seattle Center and Space Needle therein.

When in Seattle, I usually buy wine either at the Washington State wine tasting room in Post Alley near Pike Place Market (they ship), or in grocery stores in Roosevelt/Green Park area, well north of the city center (it's where one of our sons live).

However, I saw from the Google map of the hotel that there is a Whole Foods at the corner of Westlake and Denny, several blocks south and east of the Hampton Inn, but that area of town is pretty flat, so it should not be a hard walk. There are no doubt many places within a half-dozen blocks or so. Anybody else remember one?

Sorry for the incomplete address. It is the Hampton Inn in Downtown Seattle, 700 5th Ave North.
