Metsker Maps is a long-standing Seattle landmark and icon located in the historic Pike Place Market. This excellent store is small but very well-stocked with lots of stuff, specializing in maps of all kinds, travel guide books for anywhere in the world, and globes of many different sizes.

A fantastic map and guidebook store in Pikes Place Market. Map lovers has better guard or be prepared to open their wallets. Not only guide books and traditional maps and atlases but also map artworks as well which are mainly focused on the PNW
