Seattle Area Indpendent Bookstores

haven't been in this one for years...but I loved their location by Greenlake when my children were small. Now they're located in Ballard. Best children's bookshop in Seattle.

Small Roosevelt-area bookstore with titles on things like meditation and yoga with a large selection of crystals.

University Bookstore likes to boast of their (deserved) title of being Seattle's oldest bookstore. They started out in UW's Denny Hall in 1900 and have been in their present location since 1924.

OK, this isn't really a bookstore...but its assortment of vintage magazines and ads will appeal to a certain type of book lover.
