http://www.freemanseattle.com/ is great if you're heading over to the Capitol Hill area. I love their stuff.
-
Definitely go to Blue Owl Workshop. Getting my 666XHS hemmed there on Friday. Owner/Curator Jay and his staff are all very friendly and super knowledgeable.
If you make it over to the east side of Lake Washington Asher Goods is also a good spot to check out.
Freeman On Capitol Hill is a pretty good little shop as well. A good selection of Left Field denim.
If you are purely looking for a denim place then nothing can touch Blue Owl. It's closest competitor would be Self Edge Portland.

Wow, late to the party. Agreed with the above. Blue Owl is amazing. Asher is good, and those guys are tight with the Self-Edge guys.

@Snowy as far as shops I would recommend checking out Blue Owl Workshop, Asher Goods, the Filson flagship, Freeman, and Glasswing.
Food:
Cheap and good - Paseo (cuban sandwich), Musashi (sushi), bol (pho), El Camion (burritos), Green Leaf (Vietnamese), Delicatus (sandwiches), Salumi (sandwiches), Tats (sandwiches).
mid range - Ba bar (asian fusion), Walrus & Carpenter (seafood), Oddfellows (american), Canon (cocktails), Knee High Stocking Co. (speakeasy - booze and small plates), Bathtub Gin (cocktails), Revel (asian fusion), Tamarind Tree (Vietnamese)
Spendy - Matt's in the Market (seafood/American), Salare (seafood/American), The Corson Building (American), Sitka and Spruce (American (near Glasswing)), Canlis (Seafood/American really expensive), The Herb Farm (local seasonal and really expensive), Shiro's (sushi).
Coffee:
Vivace is the best in Seattle in my opinion. Others - Cherry Street, Ladro, Herkimer, Zoka, Migliore, Stumptown, Fiore, Revolutions.

Thanks very much @BloodnThunder solid list there!
Most of my time is focused around South Lake Union so haven't branched as far as some of those places would take me. Exciting!
-
No problem at all @Snowy. South Lake Union is nice and centrally located. A number of these are just up the hill or across the Fremont bridge from there.
