Elliott Bay Book Company

Local bookstore with a comfy reading and browsing atmosphere and an in-store cafe . Hard to resist leaving without buying a few books . The store also boasts author readings and autographing sessions.

I love this place-everything to love about a local bookstore . They also have great gifts . Locally made Torch candles and a ton of fun, handmade cards are perfect for anyone.

Used to be located in Pioneer Square , the Elliott Bay Book Company is the local bookstore for those who live on Capitol Hill . You'll find odd titles and local authors here. Don't forget about the café

This. This. This. This is my favorite bookstore . They do so many things right: open spaces and comfortable seating , huge staff recommendations, amazing selection, even in the discount stuff.

This is my go-to bookstore . Absolutely beautiful space, friendly and helpful staff , lovely cafe , and they have nearly every book — or if they don’t, they’ll order it, and get it in a day or two!

My favorite bookstore in Seattle! It SMELLS like a bookstore , and it has those good creaky floors. The selection of books is wonderful, and there's a little cafe in the back for a coffee or pastry .

Seattle's best place for book lovers from all over the world. Even more so, if you happen to come all the way from Belgium's university town of Leuven, where this beer originated... :-)

Insanely beautiful, large variety of books and genres. Great bookstore to visit when in Seattle ;)

Absolutely incredible. Fantastic selection with handwritten notes from the staff about featured books . Definitely stop if you're walking by!

When I'm looking for a book , I usually stop by here. The staff recommendations are spot on and they know the books they sell. A great space to chill out .

Perfect bookstore setup. Love the wall of recommendations. They also have a shelf for zines. Worth stopping by.

This place is my heaven. Don't miss the turmeric lattes at the cafe . They also don't mind if you browse with your pup!

You can find almost anything here. The staff is helpful and they have a good collection of graphic design books .

This is the best place in Seattle. I love reading books and this is the place where you can find any type of book .

Relaxed atmosphere . Great coffee in the back. Love the tips left on the shelves. It’s a great way to communicate with other readers.

Don’t forget to go upstairs for the fantastic history and biography sections.

Wonderful wood-trimmed space, quiet place to meditate and enjoy from a wide variety of books , not unlike a beautiful library !

Elliott Bay Book Company, at home in new digs on Capitol Hill , is a local treasure. Step inside and find NW outdoor books and hiking guides -- and get outside away from the urban bustle on the Hill . Read more

Great spot to catch up on some reading and explore some new books

Super knowledgeable staff ! Looks like a great spot for reading and grabbing a coffee with a friend or two.

Amazing indie bookstore that was full of locals! Huge selection, creatively curated, and plenty of room to sit and read.

I really like the atmosphere, good coffee , and nice interior. This is a good place to study or chill with friends.

Best bookstore in the U.S. Can be pretty busy on weekends, but staff is knowledgeable and friendly . Been going there 16+ years aka since toddler-hood and it's still brilliant.

Got some nice books on Seattle and the Pacific Northwest for my kids here. The place has a lot of character and some great stationary.

Always love to pop in and browse after eating next door at Oddfellows. Don't miss the stock upstairs, too!

A great study spot ...when there's a table available. Also, be warned - the wifi can get VERY spotty at times.

Great selection and a fantastic sale section as well . The staff knows their stuff. Very helpful.

New books , magazines, and zines. Very spacious store with a lovely cafe at the back.

Wonderful assortment of journals and postcards, as well as some cool + off the wall games.

Stays open as late as coffee shops in the area (10p). Free internet. Great place to relax and recharge.

One of the largest local bookstores around. Be sure to read up on staff recommendations.

If you belong to a book club you get a discount for books ordered through EB. Also their staff can do a presentation of suggested titles tailored to your group's reading interest

Fantastic store with great selection and plenty of spots to relax.

Great selection of cookbooks and books on PNW

My favorite bookstore ever. Staff recommendations throughout help you find your next book !

Incredible bookstore - wonderful place to waste an afternoon.

A very eclectic independent book store , which is a refreshing change from all the carbon copy chain stores that seem to be taking over.

Great collection of books ! fun place to just hang out and read before you purchase

I'm almost surprised that bookstores even still exist. This is a particularly fine specimen.

The cafe in the back is a great low key place to get a sandwich or a coffee and read

Lovely store with a great selection for a wide range of audiences. Great cards too

Nice selection of books , but I wasn't blown away. I think NYC bookstores set the bar high for me. May have also been disappointed by the slow wifi connection ...

Great selection of books and stationary supplies. Support local!
