Bud's Jazz Records

Fodor's Review:

Bud's is a Seattle institution (it's over 20 years old), and the store almost makes up for the fact that the city doesn't have a great jazz scene. A narrow set of stairs leads to a tightly packed underground store that sells just jazz (equal parts vinyl and CDs) and lots of it, including hard-to-find recordings. And there's always something good playing on the sound system, making this a great place for a leisurely browse.
