“One of the coolest shops I found during my trip to Seattle. I felt like there was a map here for every location, every niche interest.
I purchased mostly neat postcards and stickers as mementos of my visit to this city, but I imagine this would be a delight to many other map-appreciators like me — whether you’re local or beyond. Spent a lot of time poking around various spots in the store, which was overall very well-organized.
Staff was super friendly and welcoming, and good music playing!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“Great vibe, but the mural on the back wall is something else… an incredible piece of art that celebrates so many of our home-town musicians. Thank you for helping keep music something you feel and touch.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 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 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).”
“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.”
“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. ❤️”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“The staff was super friendly and helpful! Interesting history behind the taxidermy birds. They have educational kits you can borrow for outreach or homeschool programs. There is also a gift shop. Parking on the street in front from 10-3 or paid parking across the street in the mall parking garage.”
“Three Trees Books is a true gem. The store is beautifully curated. You can tell the owners have worked hard to create a space that radiates friendliness. Their online ordering system is also fantastic—easy to use and a great way to support a local treasure.”
“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).”

“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.”
