Fodor's Review:

Many Seattleites consider this enormous independent bookstore the literary heart of the city. More than 150,000 titles are arranged on rustic wooden shelves in a labyrinth of brick-lined rooms. A side room contains used books -- about 22,000 of them -- on all subjects; some are signed first editions. The store is well known for its popular lectures and readings by local and international authors. As you enter, check out the great selection of Pacific Northwest history books and fiction titles by local authors, complete with handwritten recommendation cards from staff members. The café in the basement is one of neighborhood's best options for lunch or a quick bite.
