“I could spend all day in this store. It's local, community-centered, and they have everything you're looking for plus many things you didn't know you needed ? You can even take a break in the little food court. My favorite is the Mediterranean place. But back to books. Buy them!”
“I could have spent more time here, but we were with a group, and I wanted to be cognizant of others. This is just a warm, cozy, environment with a larger collection of books than it seems possible.”
“Overall great store for MTG players, tabletop gamers and comics fans.Exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable staff. Simply put- They just get it, and they just do things right. Every one of the dozens of times I have purchased something, usually singles, it has been a fantastic experience among multiple different staff members. Thanks yall!Wednesday night commander usually fills the place. You can easily go solo and find a game within minutes if you do things appropriately. Just sit and wait or ask around.Ofcorse it's downtown Seattle and prices are a bit higher, but they also have some great deals. If the prices and prize support were a bit better, I would give them 5 stars, even 6 stars if I could. But again I don't fault them for it. Retail rent is expensive in Seattle, and its not the most lucrative type of business. Don't get me wrong the prices are fair, just a lil bit higher than most shops I go to outside of the city.I would love to see the pauper and modern event turn out increase a bit. I wish I could make it more often myself. Players, let's make it happen!”

“The wonderful curation at this bookstore keeps me coming back. I have found so many lovely gems I may have never done otherwise at their themed recommendation tables in the front. The employees have great taste, and seem super passionate about the store and the books they're selling. This is absolutely my bookstore of choice.”
“I am so grateful for the friendly, helpful staff at Bellevue Half Price Books. I brought 3 big batches of books in for my friend who is moving. They were heavy and each time, a staff member offered to help me. Every step was made easy. Special thanks to the manager, I think her name is Leanne, (hope I got that right). She is a real Jewel!”
“A great local option for cookbooks with a diverse selection. Every cookbook that I have wanted to purchase in the past few years I have been able to get at the store or through their website. Visit and browse, you'll find something you love!”
“A wonderful bookstore and one of my favorite bookshops in Seattle. The inside is incredibly beautiful, and you really feel like you have stepped into the quintessential used book store. They have such a wide array of books in the store I am always able to find something be it for myself or for a gift. While the fiction section is the largest, other sections are not left lacking.I have also sold some of my read books here, and I the exchange they offer is quite nice. I usually opt for store credit since I know I will be using it soon anyway (sometimes the same day).”
“A lovely bookstore in Fremont! Always has an interesting collection of books and the staff here are always so kind and friendly! It’s really cozy in here and I love the spiral staircase to the basement. Highly recommend if you’re passing through the area.”
“I do enjoy the layout of this store vs their other chain stores. Has quite a charm. Their role playing books are heavily overpriced in this area unfortunately so its more of a whole priced books really. Record selection is great but smaller than most.”
“It's a physical bookstore it's interesting to browse and the smell of books.
Selection is good prices are average it's just a nice place to wander and maybe pick up something to read that you wouldn't have noticed online.”
“Quaint little bookshop in downtown Edmonds, WA. We went here for those last-minute stocking stuffers, and they didn't disappoint. Wonderful staff, very eager to help, and a great supply for most readers.”
“I stumbled upon this charming bookstore and instantly fell in love with its cozy atmosphere. The shelves are filled with a diverse selection of books to suit every taste. What sets this bookstore apart is its support for local artisans, offering a range of locally made items that add to the store's unique charm. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the browsing experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a welcoming bookstore with a great selection and a commitment to supporting local businesses, look no further. Highly recommended!”
“I’m ashamed to say I didn’t check out Ada’s til last year. I got the po’grrrl w/a side arugula salad 3 times in a row bc it’s that good. I also enjoyed the breakfast burrito on their current menu (bold roasted potato vibes). The arugula salad had herbs mixed in, so I thought the spinach salad would have more going on than a $4.50 handful of spinach, but no, I won’t be getting that again. I love that they have a no tipping policy bc they pay their staff a consistent living wage. I wish more restaurants would do the same.”
“Just what you're looking for in a shop-around-the-corner kind of bookstore.Great selection and friendly folks behind the counter to help you find your next read.”

“I LOVE this place. It is a wonderful bookstore with a strong community event focus too. It's reasonably priced, a great place to hang out and peruse the books and engage with others. I've seen high quality musical performances and the monthly events calendar is packed full of great jams, intellectual and cultural events. This is a place well worth supporting and telling your friends about!”
“I stop by here on occasion to look for their varied selection of incense and oils, and the staff is incredibly kind and friendly every time. There is one man with long gray hair who occasionally works the cashier who's always a joy to talk to whenever I come in. I remember coming in wearing a NiGHTS Into Dreams shirt once and he was fascinated by it and asked who the character on it was. I'm going to miss this place when I leave.”
“There is something special about being able to browse books in person and expose yourself to new authors and titles. Staff is friendly, helpful and ready with recommendations.
Northgate location is very convenient, with plenty of parking and public transportation close by. This store has music too (Vinyl and CD's).”
“This is such a great bookstore! They have a wide variety of topics, all excellently stocked. The staff is super helpful as well! There is a great cafe/restaurant connected to the bookstore that you should definitely check out during you're visit! I would recommend the Chai!”

“Amazing little theater with super friendly staff and comfy seats. Only about 50 seats though, so I’d recommend buying tickets ahead of time. So far I’ve seen two films here, and I plan to keep coming back.”

“My sister and I were drove down to Seattle from Vancouver, BC for a daytrip. We stumbled across this cute bookstore and decided to check it out. We both had a very pleasant experience here and the gentleman at the counter was friendly.”
“Absolutely LOVE this place!!!! One of the best bookstores ever and the library is even better. The younger guy working the library was such a bright lovely light and made my visit there so amazing. He was friendly and told me all the history of the shop as well gave me a brochure for the classes and workshops there are. Can’t say enough about the experience i had here, highly recommend, love the staff, love the book collections, love the tarot collections. They have it all! 10/10”
“The dude running this place is awesome! Had a really good conversation with him, very passionate and knowledgeable. Respects everyone’s tastes too, great selection and organization. Good prices too”

“Absolutely wonderful little bookshop with great prices, a wide selection and deeply knowledgeable and passionate staff. Highly recommended for any and all literature lovers!”
“Great staff, all very friendly and considerate.
I had one employee go out of his way to get me a few volumes of a book I wanted. Even after I told him not to worry about it, he caught up to me with the books in hand!”
“Great hidden gem bookstore right next to Cowen Park. The books in the store are organized by vibes rather than genres! It’s so cute and has a huge selection of books for all ages, gifts, stickers, cards, umbrellas, games, puzzles, etc. Owner is so sweet and has great recommendations. Comfy chairs + whole table for reading/chatting. Would recommend for anyone who loves bookstores, gift shops, or just needs to kill some time around U-District/Roosevelt!!”

“It's a good comic book store. There are lots of items to look at, and a good collection of back stock comics at decent prices. My only gripe, they won't let you look thru the silver age boxes behind the counter. They respond with, "What are you looking for in particular?". When I just want to see what they have, maybe find something worth buying. Other than that. It's a good store!”
“The University book store is an extremely nice University book store. Very well kept with an amazing variety of student study need supplies and an amazing, very helpful staff. Love this store.”
“Lots of helpful books. Birding supplies. Centrally located, north of UW. More than birding, they provide information that explains the ecosystem in which birds live their cycle of existence.”
“There is so much stuff here, I don't even know where to start!! But the staff is always ready to help you find that perfect thing that you didn't even know you were looking for!”
