“My partner and I came to Seattle Glassblowing to celebrate our anniversary and had the best time!! Quinn helped us make two ornaments and was relaxed, clear, and supportive of our hundreds of questions. We will absolutely be back!”
“I’m super picky when it comes to tattoos and choosing the right artist. It honestly took me over a year to find a shop and someone I could really trust, someone whose style matched mine, had good vibes, and wasn’t insanely expensive or overly selective. Yesterday, I finally got my 4th tattoo (and my first one in Seattle!) and I’m so happy with how it turned out. I went to Lake and they did such an amazing job, seriously brought my idea to life perfectly. The studio is really open and welcoming, everyone there is super nice, and it’s literally walking distance from my apartment (which is a little dangerous for my wallet tbh). Definitely planning to go back and I can already tell this is gonna be my regular spot for the long run.”
“Had a great experience here. It's quiet and there's a lot of selectioin for different pottery options.
I feel like this place is bigger and has more selection than Paint the Town, but I'm pretty sure it's cheaper than too. Not to say that there's a lack of quality, there's plenty of paint options and the environment is nice. The owner is really sweet too, you can tell she really puts a lot of passion and care to this place.
If you've never done this before, best to slot out a lot of time, this kind of thing can take a while.”
“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.”
“Wa Na Wari is a must see experience for everyone interested in Seattle’s African-American history. They are committed to maintaining the legacy that their ancestors established in Central Seattle when that was one of the few places people of African descent were allowed to live. They are always gracious and share their history generously and proudly. You don’t want to miss it!”

“I love it here! The vibe is great and the owner Eva is so amazing to talk to. I can tell how much she cares about the people and the music. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have been able to play guitar for the summer! Thank you Eva and Ken”
“My K-pop mates flew home this morning, so I was solo for the remainder of my time in Seattle. I finally made my way to Pacific Place, next to my hotel. Alas, it seems it’s another shopping center in search of tenants and customers. Is this the fate of many shopping centers on the West Coast, like San Francisco Centre on Market Street?
Anyway, I found myself inside Pacific Place with nothing to do and I stumbled across The Handmade Showroom on the 3rd floor. Hey, I found bracelets made out of guitar strings from High Strung Studios in Trenton, NJ. I lost a guitar bracelet the day before, so it was serendipity … I purchased one made with bass guitar strings and secured with a magnetic clasp ($57.38). I had to buy one … I would have purchased more but they didn’t have any more in size Medium (for my 6.75-inch wrist). Hah, I ordered two more from High Strung Studios for less money than at The Handmade Showroom.
So, I found at least one interesting store in this shopping complex. I remain hopeful that more vendors will open a store in this complex.”
“Eclectic art gallery. Well curated pieces in all price ranges. Delightful, airy space. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Have been shopping here for over 25 years and highly recommend a visit .”
“I love going there any chance I can get. Regularly, they are a bunch of rented art studios anybody can rent as long as there’s some available. Some larger studios even host their own art classes in painting, graphite on paper, clay sculpting, and more.
It’s only during special events when you can see all the work happening, and that’s when One can witness the magic of artistic creativity!”
“The use of negative space was awe inspiring. I think different uses of color & texture makes art much better to enjoy differently than just cruising to each piece.”
“Went for an intimate local show with Tobias theOwl in this beautiful gallery. Owner is warm and welcoming and I will definitely be back!(It's also 4 buildings down from my favorite tapas place-added bonus) The art was a variety of 50 artists over 50 and I loved pieces from each artist I saw! Gorgeous backdrop for music <3 Thank you for sharing your space with local artists! ?”
“This place carries wonderful pieces of art and delectable delights for your palate in every corner. It’s a treat for all of your senses and perfect for gift shopping. Please check them out, you certainly won’t regret it”
“It's an erotic art gallery. I haven't been in too many but the folks here were really nice, and the art was interesting even when it wasn't a swipe right for me.”
“I love this gallery! They always have new and great artists, everyone is friendly when go in. I go by every Saturday on my evening walk. It is very cozy and nice. I am appreciative that they are there.”
“After a delay in my initial purchase which turned out not to be the fault of the store, the owner went to great lengths to make everything right. The item was shipped to me quickly and she made sure it was packaged with great care. Thank you”

“We went to get our precious glass art repaired and they did a fantastic job, reasonable price, and timely. I highly recommend Bokrosh studio for all of your glass repair and restoration needs.”
“Such beautiful art and such an amazing woman working there! The gallery itself is also layed out beautifully with an interactive display of some videos and art on a tablet in the back!”

“I have come to expect the unexpected from the Greg Kucera Gallery, though I expect find my favorite artists here! Awesome space and supremely focused on what is important - the art. Easily the highlight of my trips to Seattle!”
“Beautiful pieces by beautiful people, lots of emotions are conveyed through each work presented. Always a lovely collection on display. Always be sure to look for a Richard Hutter piece, he has many collections available!”
“I found this place during a trip to Woodinsville, and was thrilled to find how many good quality art supplies they carry! As an adjunct to a small art gallery, I expected there to be a few brushes and markers, maybe some sketchbooks - but they have a great variety of watercolor paints, as well as other paints and dry media.
The woman who helped me and my husband was really knowledgeable and nice, and helped me decide what to buy (I'm an acrylic painter, new to watercolor) - a bonus, since I prefer spending my money at a small business rather than a big corporate craft store. I really enjoyed my visit there and will be sure to visit and shop again.”
“Lots of cool little things in this shop. Pricy, but great quality. The woman who has rung me out a few different times has always been really sweet. I also like that they sell Blackwing pencils individually. Everywhere else sells Blackwings in expensive packs.”
“Apex has done an incredible job with all of my clients. They can look at a peice of art and know exactly the frame style it needs. They take care of arranging and installing art perfectly. My clients are always thrilled.”
“Really nice little shop. Looks like a museum. If you want to buy something, you should definitely budget more money. Still, the store is worth a visit if you're in the area.”
“Absolutely AMAZING destination for anyone who CANNOT be pleased with a standard gift! Handmade goods priced with the artists and the customers in mind, I don't think I could recommend this place MORE! Everything is kept clean, stocked, and the workers don't hesitate to let you know about the stories attached to each artist, if you want to take the step outside of just a "plain" shopping experience. Their website is gorgeous too! But the store experience is worth it, if only because you can see and hold and learn about the pieces in a really cool way. Absolutely 10/10 unique and irreplaceable part of Pacific Place!”
“We booked Axis for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! Erin has been absolutely amazing—she’s incredibly communicative, knowledgeable, and has made the entire planning process so much easier. Same goes for the rest of the team there. We’re beyond excited for our wedding and feel confident knowing we’re in such great hands!”

“Decided to try bidding in an auction. Since i have only once (back in the early 70's) gone to an auction...and (managed to bid against my husband!),because of our "stay-at-home" edict placed on the population of CA-decided to give it another shot.Saw a sweet little Lalique "Happy Cat" up for sale, decided that i have at least two people who are very much cat lovers that would love owning it and made that my "ease into" the auction game. The people at Mroczek Bros. were very helpful and patient with me, and made the process easy. i was the winning bid (!), they did a wonderful job of shipping it with a lot of protection, and arrived in perfect condition!! i had done some research into Lalique and when it arrived i can say without any hesitation it was 100% Lalique and not a blemish on the item. i have it stashed away as a very special gift and i know it will be much loved by whomever is the lucky person that gets it!Thank you Mroczek Bros. for helping make my first "real" foray into the auction world a very happy experience!! i highly recommend their company for anyone looking to sell or buy. Very professional and helpful. Carol R.”
“My niece hosted her 30th B-day here. Nice place, The art there was good but unfortunately not in my price range. Great place to have a party at and thank goodness they have 2 bathrooms.”
“One of my favourite places to take a stroll through, the Columbia City Gallery is a mainstay of the community and provides a unique, open space for art. The exhibits are free and often rotate, featuring mostly local artists.
If you need to pick up a local, artisan gift, this is the place to do it. Don’t forget to check out the upstairs gallery as well.
Definitely take a look at the cool mural of the 7 bus outside too.”
“What a lovely store! It is warm and welcoming and the selection and variety are unmatched on the Eastside. Prices are fair and service is outstanding. Svetalana helped us with a few framing projects also. It feels good to support local, small businesses!”
