“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!”
“While looking for a thank you note with a fish motif, I scoured Annie's Art and Frame's vast selection of cards to no avail. I asked the associate working if she knew of any secret stash that I might've missed. She asked me to wait while she rummaged around the back and came out with the perfect card! Thank you for the kind and patient service. And of course, the cute card, too. PS I tried to upload a photo of the card, but Google kept rejecting it, so you'll just have to go to the store and see the selection for yourself.”
“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.”
“Great place for framing! After getting multiple quotes it is more reasonably priced than other places. And they know what they’re doing! They did an excellent job for me and the staff were extremely nice and helpful. They also do have local art and gifts for sale! Highly recommended.”
“Whether you’re looking for handmade or conventional art supplies, this store has it all. In particular, I love their selection of fountain pen inks, journals and pens.”
“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”
“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.”
“Fantastic photography on canvas or metal. They can use your picture and do the same too
Beautiful landscapes. We bought a metal picture and delivery came very well packed, with simple instructions for hanging
We visit every time we’re in Edmonds”

“Love supporting local artists and love that there are more and more stores that connect artists to the community.
Super fun store for unique gifts!
Only things to note is the upstairs area that isn't easily accessible & then relying on street parking or public transit to get there.”
“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.”
“I've shopped around, and these are the best quality canvass (and metal!) prints I've been able to find, I literally cannot recommend Stretch and Staple highly enough. I'm a wildlife photographer in the Seattle area, and they are the only shop that's been able to print colors and details up to my slightly OCD standards. They will go the extra mile to make sure the colors come out right, and the detail is good enough to see reflections in the eyes of hummingbirds. Ten out of five stars, would print again.”
“Very neat store to browse! Plenty of artist made knick knacks, pins, buttons, and printed shirts. The curators are very personable and will give you introductions based on artist you are viewing. Would recommend a visit.
The only negative thing was not necessary pointed at the shop, but the mall it was located in. You can tell post-covid that the Pacific place mall and the surrounding area is struggling to keep up with inflation and rent. Plenty of closed shops and not enough thriving businesses. We found paid parking at garage belonging to the mall on 6th Avenue.”

“This is a great shop to get your art supplies and for support, advice and encouragement. They have great classes. They're not the biggest, but you won't find a better place, and it's family owned.”
“Parklane has some beautiful and interesting art. Uniques pieces. We bought some handmade jewelry, that is unique and one of a kind. Not overly priced. Right in the middle of the action in Kirkland.”

“So much talent in this little gem of a gallery. We own several pieces from various artists. It's always lovely to support our local artists. Please visit and enjoy.”
“Well curated collection of modern era art and antiques for sale. Great place to find one of a kind gift items. Prices are reasonable. Gallery owner is not only extremely knowledgeable but very helpful without any pressure to purchase. It's rare that I leave this shop without either wanting or purchasing some fantastic item.”
“The owner listened carefully to what I wanted and was able to come up with the perfect frame for my very special painting. I highly recommend his work if you're looking for excellent quality.”
“I love Artisan Custom Framing, specifically Mark, he has done all our frames since we moved up to Washington and I won't go to anyone else. Not only is he a masterful framer but he is so great at helping finding the perfect piece for your artwork and we always have the best customer service experience with him. Go here and ask for Mark, you won't regret it !”
“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!”
“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.”
“One of the best furniture stores in Seattle! They're full of high-quality, very nicely restored, unique pieces. We've even brought in pictures of areas of the house we're working on and they give amazing recommendations, can make renderings to help visualize the space, and keep an eye out as new things come in.”
“What a beautiful, inviting gallery. Local artists and amazing quality. Started my early holiday shopping. So many options and price points from $3 to $20k (I looked). They have high end fine art, fun whimsical art, paintings, water colors, ceramics, jewelry, cards, soap, magnets, etc. My favorites for my budget were a beautiful ceramic bowl that was only $50, and a funky weird found art creation that some people might think is creepy but I think is amazing (doll heads anyone?). Friendly helpful staff. It’s just all around it feel good space. Shop local!”
