Apparently, they only do a few of these a year, and in different cities. I'm not sure if it has come to Seattle before or not.
The prices weren't great, but not bad, either. This is Lululemon, after all, and their stuff is pricey (but good quality!). We had seen the price list before we went, so we knew what to expect. I bought two items for myself (a fleece vest, which I've been considering getting all Winter, and a workout/beach/tote bag) plus I got a nice blazer jacket for Blane, and a hoodie for Nicole. Two of the more pricey items that I bought (my vest and Blane's jacket) were at least 50% off original price.
Gina found some great deals, too! She bought a couple of jackets, and was able to take advantage of a special 1-hour sale they were having: two for one scarves and two for one girls sweaters for her nieces.
Overall, we were very happy with our experience today! The sale started at 8:00 this morning (doors for the lines opened at 6:00am). We intentionally decided to wait until late morning, hoping the crowds would die down. It worked! I had seen on social media that it was at least an hour wait this morning, but when we arrived at 11:30, we only waited 30 minutes, which wasn't bad at all.
The sale was in Seattle by Pier 91, where some of the cruise ships depart from. Parking was available for $10, then they arranged for shuttle buses to the main terminal. It was all pretty well organized and ran smoothly for us.
The selection was pretty huge. They certainly had more selection in some of the smaller sizes, but that wasn't a huge surprise. They also had a decent selection of mens and girls clothing.
The sale will run through Sunday evening. Hours are 8:00am-8:00pm each day.
Gina and I had a great time, and are happy with the merchandise that we found. It certainly helped that we already knew what size we were (there was a short line for the dressing room, but we didn't need to try anything on) and that we knew prices, and our budget before going in.

We're on a school bus! Haven't been on one of these in a few decades!
the line when we entered. We got through this in just under 30 minutes. We were very pleased that the line was all indoors! It was chilly and wet outside today. They also had music playing, and random contests to help keep the crowd entertained.

The puffy, fleeced-vest that I bought. There weren't mirrors in the warehouse (except in the fitting room) so we had to take photos of each other so we could see how the jackets looked!).
Gina's cute jacket!
more inventory - these were full of water bottles, socks, bags, leg warmers, scarves, etc.,
