Accessibility
Is the mall accessible?
Yes! Our entrance is street level and all doorways are wide enough to accommodate mobility devices. We also have accessible restrooms inside with bidet attachments and a lounge with multiple seating options. We aim to make the space as welcoming and barrier-free as possible. If you need specific accommodations, don’t hesitate to contact us in advance.
What’s your COVID policy?
Seattle Fat Mall is a COVID-conscious space. Masks are welcome every day and required on our Mask 4 Mask Days—held every 2nd Saturday and 4th Wednesday—to create a safer shopping experience for our immunocompromised and COVID-cautious community members. We provide free N95s at the door during those events. 💖
Shopping
What payment methods do you accept?
Most vendors accept credit cards, debit cards, and digital payments like Venmo or Cash App. A few may accept cash only. There's no ATM onsite, so plan ahead!
Are kids or strollers welcome?
Yes! The mall is family-friendly, stroller-accessible, and full of color and joy. Please be mindful of small or fragile vendor displays as you browse. Some vendors may have have art that parents should use their discretion
Are pets allowed?
We love your furry friends, but only service animals are allowed inside the mall for safety and accessibility reasons.
Do you have dressing rooms?
We do! There are two large private dressing rooms available for trying things on. We also have mirrors throughout the mall if you want to try something over your clothes.
Do you carry men’s or masc clothing?
Yes! While most of our stock leans femme or gender-neutral, we always carry masc-of-center pieces—and we even host Masc Wear Days, when the racks are extra full of styles made with masc fat babes in mind.
Do you buy clothing?
We do not currently buy clothing from the public.
Vending
How do I become a vendor?
You can apply here. We welcome fat creators of all kinds—including remote consigners and one-day pop-up vendors. You don’t have to be there every day to be part of the mall!
Do I need to have a full collection to vend?
Not at all. Some of our vendors have full clothing lines, while others sell prints, pins, or a small collection of handmade goods. If your work aligns with our mission and centers fat folks, we want to hear from you.
Do I need a business license to vend?
Yes. All vendors must have a current Washington State Business License and seller’s permit. We’re happy to help you navigate that process if you’re new to vending!
How does commission work for consigners?
Our consignment terms vary slightly depending on product type, but most vendors receive 60% of each sale. We do regular payouts and transparent sales tracking.
Events
Can I host an event or workshop at the mall?
Absolutely! We love community-led programming. If you have an idea for a fashion event, art show, pop-up tattoo day, fat joy workshop, or anything else, email us to collaborate.
