Our Central Market (in Shoreline, WA, just north of Seattle) has a small
cookbook section, along with some housewares. This Central Market is
similar to Wegman's (for you east coasters) in that it's huge, with a
food court, sushi bar, and massive produce section. The Uwajimaya (the
Asian equivalent of Wegman's) chain has lots of housewares. Friends of
mine from Boston were in town over the summer and never imagined the
variety of rice cookers that Uwajimaya has. The flagship Uwajimaya in
Seattle has a separate Asian bookstore with a good selection of
cookbooks.
