“Incredible resource for maps and all things map-related. I was impressed by the selection of sky charts and historical maps. Wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable staff.”
“Super cute book store ! As a book lover I was obsessed with! It's fairly big with a great big selection of books to choose from . Everyone is so friendly and kind . The price isn't far off from Amazon either and you get to support a local bookstore ! It's truly every book lover dreams come true . The cafe however was okay . My drink was overall too sweet even after asking for diff options. But books made it better”
“A great store, anything and everything modern you will find here. By modern, I mean the comic books. If you are looking for older comic books you won't find them here however, loooots of modern and up to date comic books available and plenty of other books as well. DnD / Pathfinder merchandise and a good selection of dice. Good collection of MTG and others sold here and some single cards are in showcases if you want to buy some goodies to beef up your deck. Lots of board games here so if you want an awesome game for a gathering / party, give these guys a chance. The friendly staff made me feel welcome and spend as much time going through their store which is always an A+ in my book. Come on by and support our local comic book stores wherever they may be! ?”
“This place was such an amazing experience! The man that worked there was friendly and made me feel like I was at home. He also made sure I got to know part of my heritage more which made me feel so emotional in the good kind of sense. I would visit here everyday if I lived in that city.”
“We were impressed with the variety and curation; often used bookstores have a lot of crippy crap but these shelves were filled with great options. The space was cozy and had three levels to peruse. Most of the used books we picked up were $8-12 for paperback and $12-20 for hardback. The shopkeeper was so kind and also gave us a tote for our purchases. Hopefully we can wander the aisles again soon.”

“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.”
“What a fun and inspirational place. Good place to open your mind. Lots to see and learn from other points of view. The employees are nice and helpful.They have a food area inside and outside.”
“Great shopping experience with nicely curated selection. I also went here for a book signing event as a one off with some friends and it was a great time. A nice intimate bookstore experience in Capitol Hill that I'll definitely be back for.”
“TONS of CDs! I was really surprised at how big their selection was here. The staff were super friendly. Everything was fairly priced, if a tiny bit more than I've seen elsewhere. Not the worst though considering how vast the store is.”
“Ada's is such a hidden gem in north cap hill! I've been several times and have always enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. It's such a good place to go when you want to wind down and take yourself on a solo date. With that said, I have also seen people bring their laptops and study here! I remember liking their sweet cream latte ($7) but I had to continuously mix the foam that kept settling on top! They are also one of the few places I know that are tip-free which is really cool. There is such a good selection of books but every time I come here I have slowly made my way through The Cruel Prince! If you're stuck in a reading rut, definitely pick up this book or browse the rest of the cafe :)”
“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.”
“This bookstore was a great surprise! Manga, collectibles, posters galore!! I absolutely love the choices. Only thing is because they are packing in so many selections there are books everywhere!! Tables are filled up. They deserve so much more space for all the entertainment and materials they are providing us!!”
“The dude running this place is awesome! Had a really good conversation with him, very passionate and knowledgeable. Respects everyone’s tastes too, great selection and organization. Good prices too”
“This is what a used book store should be like! Anyone can walk in and leave with a book they're going to enjoy while browsing a carefully curated selection. You'll find a lot of great books there that you probably wouldn't find at other bookstores. Also, the store is very well organized and clean. It just feels good to shop there. I do sell a lot of my books to the store and that process is easy and very fair. You get a good deal if you take store credit. Selling my books there has made me better appreciate the curation of the store. They won't accept books that are in less than good condition so you know you're going to buy a book there that is in great shape and probably a book you won't find easily elsewhere.”
“Really enjoyed this bookstore and we walked away with books the two times I went while visiting! Super nice that they are used and have a huge selection. I was shocked by their ample cookbook collection and found one by bad manners for a great price ! The owner was very friendly and offered to help us with the stack to get our book we wanted. Definitely stop here! They have lots of new releases and popular books!”
“Hands down one of the best spirituality bookshops in Seattle. Wide range of material well organized. Linda and Greg are warm and welcoming. I've been patronizing Quest since high school twenty years ago, and have lost track of the hours I've spent just hanging out and talking with these wonderful people.”

“I am confident when I say this is the prettiest bookstore in seattle! I wasn't even looking to buy any books, but I still had a great time stopping in and browsing around. I recognized some old favorites and spotted some books I was interested in as well (good mix of modern and classic books). My friends and I even browsed through a children's book and it was so cute! What I love most about this bookstore is the architecture of the arched ceilings and how aesthetic it is. The space is also filled with art and I especially loved the watercolor prints of farmers markets!! There was a constant stream of people without it ever getting too busy or crowded. I highly recommend having a pioneer square shopping day and coming in :)”

“I love this store. I managed to find a complete set of Zoe and Sassafras books for my daughter for last Christmas at a great price. And now that we've read through them all, I see that the books are almost like new. My daughter loves going to this store and almost always finds a great book. 10/10 would recommend”
“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!!!”
“Lots of great stuff to buy and super helpful and knowledgeable staff. I needed to buy some binoculars and the staff spent over 15 minutes with me trying out a couple pairs and patiently explaining the differences. Great cause, great shop, great staff!”

“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.”

“There's a reason this bookstore is considered one of the best in the PNW! Anytime I hit a reading slump I can come here and pick 2-3 solid reads (mainly from the staff recommendations, I gravitate towards Torrin's picks!) All staff is helpful, kind & it's a great little atmosphere for a read on any type of day”
“Vicki,Thank you very much for your hospitality. Looking forward to coming back next time we are in Seattle. When Nobody's Home is a great asset to anyone looking to be emotionally free from childhood trauma and Own Your Dreams will assist you in finding inner peace.”
“Twice Sold Tales is an amazing bookstore that has both new and used books in all genres. The guys who works there is super nice and informative but the star of this establishment is of course Beau (hope that's how you spell his name) the cat who seem to love people. Love having this wonderful place in the neighborhood.”
“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.”
“Awesome Store! Lots of jewelry for the holidays! Robert always has a large selection of books, jewelry, pottery and more. Need Tarot cards he's your one stop shop?”
“I love this cozy little book shop! They always have a great selection of books and the cutest goodies. The cafe in the back has some of the best fries I've ever had and is a perfect spot to hang out and work or read.”
“Small but awesome book store with a great selection of modern books. They have a nice children's and young adults section too. They also have cool puzzles and stationary cards. Great place!”

“Wonderful locally owned cookbook store. Also, a small collection of quality spices and other pantry items such as Kari Kari chili crisp (local product). Cute kitchen towels, gift cards, etc. Great place for gift shopping for yourself or others. They also host author talks.”
