“Lots of selection across many different genres. I've purchased many older, harder to find sci-fi/fantasy books from this store. Definitely recommend this store if you are a book bargain hunter and can't find the books you've been looking for at Value Village & Goodwill.”
“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.”
“This place is gonna own a significant share of my total earnings over my lifetime just you watch. Ever since I out grew video game posters and decided I wanted to appear more adult by hanging maps on my walls this store has been my kryptonite. they got everything. You want a map of various American cities? Cool, they got you. You want a map of our galaxy, they got you bro. You WANT A MAP OF THE CONTINENT OF ANTARCTICA THAT IS LARGER THAN YOU ARE TALL!?!?! I own one. thanks to these dudes.”
“Absolutely love this bookstore!! The kids area is especially great - my kids could play here forever and love discovering new books. The staff is super kind and helpful, especially Laurie who helped us when we had an issue with our Independent Bookstore Day prize. The cookbook area is my personal favorite but there is always something new to find here.”

“Cozy, welcoming, exhaustive, not overly precious. Love Paper Boat. It's my local bookstore and go to place for all kids birthday gifts. The place isn't huge, but they always have the things I want or can get it shipped asap. They also have very well curated cute ephemera, tchotchkes, and gifts, and I always leave with at least one sheet of/ large puffy sticker as a motivation prize for the Child.”
“My name is Don Lim and I purchased two small crosses from here about two weeks ago..However, the elderly woman cashier was so kind and comfortable that she was like an angel. Because of that woman,I want to call this store angel's house ...”
“We have found our favorite music and movie store! This place is amazing! I could spend the entire day browsing their massive selection! I found some very rare used music and the CDs were in wonderful condition. They do have new CDs and the prices are great but man, what a selection of used media! So worth a trip, especially for die hard physical media fans.”
“Great bookstore, I wished I had more time to browse the whole shelves. Excellent collections, categories, genres,etc. On our short visit to downtown Seattle, this stop was very satisfying, I did purchase a couple of books.”
“Has more figurines and merchandise than what I'd seen from Portland Kinokuniya. Absolutely loved the selection of Nenderoids! The upstairs/staircase are a tight squeeze sometimes and it can feel a little stuffy but otherwise great!”
“Lovely place with kind staff and a great greeting card selection in addition to books! Olde Burien is cooler than ever with lots of eateries, cafes, home goods and more.”
“Great for anyone interested in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or Christianity in general. The artwork available is inspirational as are the books.”
“Best used and new bookstore I've ever visited! Pegasus is where I go anytime I'm moving on to my next read. No more online or big box book shopping for this household :) They also have the most reasonable and affordable trade-in programs! It actually encourages folks to buy used. The staff are incredible! They know books well -- ask for suggestions! You will not be disappointed. Their location is not convenient for me, but the 25 minute drive is worth it, every time. As long as we live in Seattle, Pegasus is the place we'll shop for books. In fact, I'm going today to get a couple books I have on hold. Thanks, Pegasus!!!”
“It’s been years since I lived in Seattle, but what I remember the most is the used bookstores. On a recent visit, I discovered the Literary Saloon, and I was reminded that there really are the most amazing used bookstores there.Mr. Johnson is the most masterful curator/literary merchant I have encountered on my most recent trip. He was happy to help, but really happy to let me look through every single pile like a crazy completist freak.Please, must be seen to be believed. If you are a thoughtful, smart, and widely read…this is where you will likely lose two hours of your vacation in the essays section.”

“Lovely local bookstore! Good selection of books for children and adults, (did not really see any comics, but that's ok!) They sell a nicely curated collection of new and used titles and the clerk I spoke to was excited to have us! An excellent experience overall and a real gem of a bookstore!”
“I love used bookstores and this one did not disappoint! They had a wide selection, it was very organized and the store was clean and well maintained. Because it was so organized I was able to look through the store quickly and didn’t feel overwhelmed with the amount of books they had available. Book seller Emily was very nice and helpful!”
“A Seattle institution, founded in 1976, and located in a charmer of a brick and mortar in the historic Georgetown neighborhood, sharing opposite sides of a space with Georgetown Records, Fantagraphics is a great place to visit! Full of art,history and just plain fun publications, readers of all ages will find something cool.”
“Absolutely loved our visit to this bookstore at Pike Place Market! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They have a delightful selection of children's books, like the adorable Bernstein Bears Valentine's edition we found for my son. A charming spot to explore and find treasures!”
“I enjoy going to Third Place Books. Heck, you can even get a burger and beer without leaving the building. I just discovered that many of their used books are interspersed amongst the books on their shelves (look for the yellow stickers), so it's a bit like an Easter egg-hunt ? I got lucky and found a copy of Game of Thones for $4, and Dune for $5. The bookstore isn't huge, but the selection is solid. The location, somewhat near Seward Park is quite nice with a nice coffee shop, pizza, pasta and other things nearby. It's a win-win. You'll probably have to park somewhere close-by as the parking lot seems perpetually full, though.”
“Lamplight Books has a wide selection of genres to choose from with cleanly-printed labels along the bookshelves. Some have more titles than others. You can find both older and more recent books along with their price written on the first page in pencil. Given the nature of Pike Place Market being a large gathering of both large and small shops, the smaller area dedicated to the store was expected. If you don’t have issues with mobility, you can walk through the bookshelves; the spaces in-between are narrow. This store is more for passing through than a place to sit (or stand) and read. There is a book cart with discount titles for $1 each outside the store front and a table with regular-priced books as well.”
“There's a great variety of new and used children's toys and clothing, some toys are out on display and for kids to play with. There's a consignment/donation option as well, with potential for store credit. Check out their Instagram for details.
Prices are sometimes cheaper than a regular store, but often in the same range. Is it worth it? If you want to support a local small business, recycle good clothing, and get many things that are overall better quality (or vintage) for a similar price to what you might spend at a department store, then I'd say why not?
Really friendly as well.”
“I visited here for a gift for my kids while visiting Seattle, and I was very pleased with the options. The shop owner greeted me as I walked in and was very helpful in helping me to find a great toddler shirt for my son. I was surprised how hard it was to find a toddler shirt in the area, but this store had both a decent variety as well as cute options. I left very pleased with my purchase and my son wears his Seattle shirt as often as he can! I highly recommend this store.”
“Excellent selection of graphic novels/comics, plus political theory, history, and gender studies, but even beyond their areas of focus, they always have something interesting I've never seen before or elsewhere.I personally really appreciated the mask policy, especially considering how hard it must be to ventilate that space.Customer service was excellent, and the vibes are immaculate.”
“I LOVE this store. It has a wide & available supply of African foodstuffs, beverages, etc. They also supply my favorite rose oil perfume that I get so many compliments on when I wear. Highly recommend.”
“Really attractive and comfortable independent poetry store. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and more than happy to suggest works of interest. They can also special-order any book not in stock.”
“A thoughtful selection of architecture, design and books about the Built environment.Maybe the best selection of unique note pads I've seen. While including the classics.Staff is professional and helpful.Ground level entrance, in Post Alley, just East of Alaskan Way.Accessibility, ground level, brick pavement, slightly uneven to get to the store. Small Parking lot right next to the store. Store tiddy and easy to navigate.”
“Friendly, helpful staff & great selection of merchandise! Remembered my phone call from a couple of weeks ago and provided excellent customer service, resolving my problem quickly and efficiently.”

“I love going into this Barnes and Nobles! The staff is so nice, they KNOW their books and give great recommendations that you wouldn't think of, AND they are so clean and organized. This is my regular hideaway. ❤️”
