This is one of the coolest book stores around! The sections are huge and you could get lost forever in a genre that isn’t even your go-to, there are just that many books to pick up! There are some small food and seating options by the books, and it looks like they have a little stage where they’ll host performances of some sort also. If you love books or are simply looking for a way to spend an hour or two, I recommend checking it out!

This is a great place to stop in and relax, read a bit, sell your used books and rare books, very fare and always accommodating. Bathrooms are great and there is a good court for a snack! We stop in weekly. Hot tip, you can also grab a schedule for what's on the stage. We've been going here for 20 years and free live entertainment is fun with an inexpensive dinner is a bonus! I recommend the middle Eastern place, the Honey Bear bakery and the Asian food place, you can't go wrong and prices are between $$-$$$ Very Nice, come out on the weekend and make a night of it with the kiddos, some dancing on certain night's with no cover charge👍😎😀

Despite living in Seattle proper and living much closer to another outlet of this amazing local chain, I often make the trek north to this location, which is their flagship. Amazing selection, friendly staff, rare books, a food court! This is a great place.

There simply is not a better bookstore in Seattle. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they have an amazing selection of books and the most browseable and inviting setup. Their live author events totally rock, too. I could not recommend this bookstore more highly!

Do you have events to support authors with readings or author events? If so, I would be glad to become part of your events or readings. My book, "Accidental Travels of a Single Woman" has been getting 5-star reviews! Terry Woods

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

People are asking | Aug 11, 2022
Tracy Conway | Aug 12, 2022

They have a sign with their COVID rules & a staff member asks if you've been there before. If you have not been there they go over their precautions with you. Everyone has a 30 minute shopping time, and they monitor how many patrons are in the store to avoid crowding.

My 8 yr old grandson is interested in Dungeon & Dragons. Are there any D & D groups that meet at Third Place Books? Thank you. I love Third Place.

No DnD that I know of, but a boardgaming group that meets in Wednesdays, and a word gaming group that meets on Sundays.

do they sell college textbooks?

Tamara Wood | Aug 11, 2022
Third Place Books (Owner) | Aug 12, 2022

We do not typically sell college textbooks. We often have books that are used in college literature classrooms but usually not traditional textbooks. But the best way to find out if we carry a title is to give us a call! 206-366-3333

I have several true crime and various other books in good/very good condition. Ann Rule, Gregg Olson, etc. How much do you give for such books? Ann

Ann Delmore | Aug 11, 2022
Julie Paley | Aug 12, 2022

Yes, it depends on how many copies they have, etc. You bring them the books and look around while they figure out what they are going to offer you. You can accept it or not.
