Above, Elizabeth Lopez shops for back-to-school supplies Tuesday at the West Seattle Target store with daughters Breanna, a fifth grader, and Bianca, in kindergarten.
The Chihuly glass exhibit brought cash and crowds to a Nashville site, and Seattle Center is wondering if it would do the same here.
