Continent Books and Music: what do users think?

Sergei: Overall, a great book store. The person working the counter was very knowledgeable and nice. While their collection is beyond impressive. Lots of Russian books from fiction to history to philosophy. It's a great place for anyone interested in books. Highly recommend.

Aleria Shadow: This place was such an amazing experience! The man that worked there was friendly and made me feel like I was at home. He also made sure I got to know part of my heritage more which made me feel so emotional in the good kind of sense. I would visit here everyday if I lived in that city.

Daniel Arthur: Very helpful staff, excellent collection.

Jeffrey Dunaway: Love the Russian Chess books!!

Sergei Gumerov: Great cozy bookstore. Gives something back to relatives. Very colorful. Large selection of literature for children and adults. The assortment is huge!

Music & Arts: what do users think?

Michael Perkins: Local downtown Burien shop for musical instruments, supplies, sheet music and private lessons.

Felicia C: . There's ample parking at this location as it is shared with the other nearby/attached businesses. If you live in Burien or the nearby areas, it is extremely convenient. I HIGHLY recommend seeking this Music & Arts out for all their music needs. :

Cara Ivy: Great place for renting school and instruments!

Matteo Griffin: Every interaction I have had with this store has been good. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, MUSICAL! Pricing for rentals is affordable and the payments actually accrue equity towards an eventual purchase.

quin: i get lessons here, really nice

stephanie kuborssy: I am a band director in the area, music and art has been nothing but helpful in times of need not only for my program but for personal needs.I emailed them asking if they had any means to donate instrument name tags one year, and they brought me boxes full of them for free.I asked them if they could help me finance an instrument and they did everything to let me shop/play test before purchasing.Anthony is an incredible worker, he is always helping me out when I call. I recommend music and art over Ted Brown not only for basics but for repairs and purchasing.

Vance: Nice little store. Pretty decent selection.

Shedlie Louis: Great school

S Berg: Always friendly, helpful and enthusiastic staff here.

stephany choi: I am learning piano from this location and I really enjoy coming here. My instructor is amazing and staffs are nice as well.

Jojo Hendrix: The employees here are super helpful, and even helped us string my daughter's violin, for free!

Jason Maroney: Been coming here for years. Lessons for my daughter, instruments, sheet music, and free guitar stringing with string purchase. And amazing customer service. Great with all ages. 😊thank you!

Jaime Muñana: I have been coming to this store for over a year now. Everytime that my daughter and I have been there, the people have been so kind and very helpful. I would like to point out that "Christian" has always been very instrumental in addressing our concerns! I highly recommend this store to any parent looking to either purchase or rent an instrument for their child!

Heather Shropshire: Great customer service.

Timothy Thedford: Evan, Anthony, and Amy. I love this shop, love them. Amazing customer service, just really kind, sweet people. They all deserve raises. Don't shop at stupid Guitar Center. Come to Music & Arts. It's my favorite music shop in Seattle.

Anita Fairbanks: full-size viola in Washington, and the quality is delicious. This month, I purchased two violas with Anthony using our credit, and he was amazing. He helped me find an upgrade, walked me through shipping, was quick to respond, and was very knowledgeable about my rental history and available discounts. Over the years, I figure I probably have saved two or three thousand dollars by using the Music & Arts program that grew with my three kids. I strongly recommend these stores for homeschooling and for personal music education. They really went above and beyond with me.

Ted Brown Music: what do users think?

Aaron Kahn: Matt and his team run a great shop. He generously lent me a high-end Bach Strad trumpet at a very fair price and did so with consummate professionalism and support for my professional needs as I was waiting for my Shires horn to be repaired. I am truly indebted to Ted Brown and will trust them with musical needs I may have in the future!

winnie: Fantastic experience as someone who is disabled! I was unsure if I'd be able to play an instrument again but Nat was incredibly patient, helpful, and made sure I was comfortable. Really went above and beyond, thank you all!Parking lot was big and looked accessible as well- hard to find in Seattle.

Carter: , and having it moved from their Tacoma store to Seattle for me to try out. I was given a private room with the cello to try as long as I needed. All in all, a happy customer. Thanks TBM!

Delanie Montoya: Ted Brown is awesome. I had an old clarinet that needed everything replaced and it came back to me looking brand new! The turnaround time was also fantastic! The staff is super friendly and helpful!

Michael Zou: got my first guitar here and am very happy, staff are friendly and helpful and their products seem to be quality as well. i never review stuff but this place was a standout

Catherine: Got a great beginner’s guitar lesson!

chloe mai: ive had a great experience here. the three times I have ruined my trumpet this year ted brown's repair guy Tim was always reliable, fast, super kind, and very reasonable! the last time, I totaled my bell and one of the spit valves. I went to another repair place that I've heard great things about, and they didn't even take a single look at my trumpet. they just told me that they were lined up with appointments until a month later and that it would be $100. So ofc I went back to Tim and he fixed the whole thing for only $25! I was back playing again the next day. This guy really goes above and beyond. he doesn't try to fool or trick u into thinking that the fix would be hard and costly. hes super honest and straightforward. Ted Brown will always be our go to repair shop from now on.

Will Gross: Very friendly staff.

Lawrence Fosnick Davis: The service is excellent and if they don't have something they are happy to get it transferred from another store. We were there for a tux shirt for band and they were great.

Joshua Lang: Great customer service and support.

william Field: They have a lot of acoustic & electric instruments, sheet music , lessons & practice rooms.

Cary Emens: Great music shop with very informative and helpful staff. A great musical instrument destination especially in these times where a lot of music stores are closed.

Raul Robles: Very happy with my experience here! Found most everything I needed for band/wind ensemble-related activities. Also had to get my instrument serviced, and the technician and people working there went above and beyond my expectations. 10/10 would recommend

It’s rare find newer artists here but there are a LOT of classics for a great price, and I ended buying 7 records.

Jacob Forker: I try to come here whenever I can to pick up more CD’s, its for sure my favorite shop Ive ever been to and I’m always impressed by how much they have!!!

braintwang: Dave is great. The store is great. He gives the fairest prices on trade or 70% of that in cash. Always lots of gems to be found if you're willing to dig, and isn't that the fun of it anyway? Knowledgeable and friendly staff always ready to help you find something. Great selection of many genres. And still lots of CDs! Great store.

Andy Bean: Massive selection of records, DVDs, cassettes and more, with a pretty solid and mostly logical organization system. Owner feels like the OG owner and is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Joe Muckerman: I was in movie heaven seeing all of those movies on DVD and Blu-Ray. Best store ever

Tate: The most intimate open mic night in Seattle. Highly suggest coming by and purchasing a pastry to support the shop

Alina Morgan: У нас с женой были самые замечательные впечатления в Couth Buzzard. Это кафе/магазин подержанных книг/открытый микрофон/тусовка. Здесь проводится больше мероприятий, чем в любом другом социальном кафе, которое мы когда-либо видели! Мы пришли выпить, перекусить и еженедельно послушать открытый микрофон, и все это превзошло наши ожидания. Персонал был очень дружелюбным, как и все посетители и артисты. Атмосфера очень вычурная, необычная и неформальная. Мы чувствовали себя здесь очень желанными и принятыми. Мы даже нашли замечательную книгу, о которой даже не подозревали, что она нам нужна! Мы собираемся возвращаться в Коут Баззард как можно чаще.

Это чувство уюта побуждает посетителей задерживаться, читать и общаться.Вовлеченность персонала:Дружелюбный персонал; они заменяли кого-то другого, поэтому имели ограниченные знания, но были полезны.Общий опыт:Я чувствовал, что этот небольшой книжный магазин, в котором сочетаются книги, музыка и кафе, предлагает нечто большее, чем просто посещение.

Véronique Maucor: Отличный клуб карате

I will definitely be back.by the way, Ghost is fantastic.

Bryan Somerville: Incredible selection of many genres of vinyl with an emphasis on metal. Any time I am in Seattle I make this one of my stops and NEVER walk away empty handed.

This place shed the blood of my children with broken guitar strings and they shall never benefit from the sacrament of their suffering. A truly senseless and tragic closure. I will miss this place forever.

Keala Milles: Nothing to say. This place is the best

Frank: Best

Bouala Keopraseurt: I went here during the day and towards closing. It's pretty busy during the day and staff are everywhere and helping customers. And then there's closing.... Not as many workers, but they didn't seem to care bout the customers, unless the customers was going to buy something. They only ask " how they can help you " once and that's it... I thought it was really rude and unprofessional. My advice is go during the day if you're needing/ wanting help with your music stuff.

JamesDAAH: Great staff. Very helpful.

George Alderette: Best Guitar Center in WA State. Knowledgeable, helpful and Outstanding Customer service and support. Inventory is well maintained and always organized ensuring a great shopping experience.

juan montealegre: Had the pleasure of being assisted by Lizzy, who was proficient and dedicated, had an intimate knowledge of the features and selling points that make a purchase relevant; and even pointed me to a guitar that I wasn’t planning on buying and through objective demonstration convinced me to get a guitar that I am now TEN times more excited to get.Super friendly and patient staff, clean and organized store and really fun to roam around and get lost in it.You guys rock!

Poor Premenstrual Darling: The beautiful man who works here gave me brilliant and thoughtful advice 🙏

Suraj - Progressive Comfort Solutions: These folks are so great. Ryan in the guitar department is the man. So so helpful. Also, the Store Manager Tyler was extremely helpful and gracious. They folks know their stuff and really care!

B L M F Literary Saloon: what do users think?

eric williams: It’s been years since I lived in Seattle, but what I remember the most is the used bookstores. On a recent visit, I discovered the Literary Saloon, and I was reminded that there really are the most amazing used bookstores there.Mr. Johnson is the most masterful curator/literary merchant I have encountered on my most recent trip. He was happy to help, but really happy to let me look through every single pile like a crazy completist freak.Please, must be seen to be believed. If you are a thoughtful, smart, and widely read…this is where you will likely lose two hours of your vacation in the essays section.

--: . I spent an hour viewing different books, which felt doable with the smaller space and foot traffic from many visitors coming and going. Folks with mobility issues may or may not be able to have adequate space to move around in the store. I was not disappointed by the titles I came across, so it looked like there was something for many people to enjoy and pique their interest. The owner was welcoming and chill, they would walk around the store to ask if customers were finding everything ok and offering assistance. There was no overbearing tone or sarcasm from them, they were just a literary saloon owner who wanted to help. I appreciated that, and found many titles to add to my wishlist for a future visit and for purchase. I even got a free B L M F themed bookmark with the book that I bought, which I thought was a nice gesture. The condition of the store was clean, the floors were swept regularly, so the only things left on the ground were mats and books overflowing from the shelves. To me, B L M F Literary Saloon is a book haven and is up there with the bookstores that I have visited, easily in my top five. I will definitely do business here in the future, thank you so much for an excellent experience!

Amanda C.: When you walk in and it’s almost floor to ceiling books, you know it’s going to be good. The best kind of maze and some really cool and interesting books.

Matt Barnes: Stopped by while visiting Pike Place. They had a wide selection of graphic novels, which really surprised me, and I left with some great reads!

Stephan Gonzalez: This is the best store I have visited in years! Wasn’t looking for anything but found something at a wonderful price. The store clerk knows where everything is, very nice guy. A must visit.

Damon Hawk: stories. Thought you’d be interested!

Steven Morris: The fella in the store helped us find local authors, going in depth about their significance and a description of their stories. Great place!

Karin D.: . I found several books to purchase, which is quite the feet considering my current TBR pile. We will definitely visit again!

Ranjani Srinivasan: Cute second hand bookstore. Can find most titles you're looking for, but runs a little pricey in my opinion. Each book is priced ~ 60% of the original price.

Jane Wallis: A fabulous place, lovely selection, and a unique, wonderful and helpful curator. Great music playing, chill ambience. Could have spent all day here.

Bill Richards: Lovely place, love second hand book places with bloody friendly staff

Lion Heart Book Store: what do users think?

Jeremy Webster: Great selection of rare and beautiful literature. I picked up the Tao Te Ching. It changes things if you read Tao as path. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Karma: Great store! Has $1.00 books too ❤️

Trinity The Tuck: Cute book store. Fun location!

Daniel Smith: Love it! Nice little store with a large selection. Friendly and helpful staff. I will say, some signage in Pike Place Market on the ground floor or near entrances would be helpful, as it was a little difficult to locate when the suite # starts with a 5 and the floor the bookstore is on is 4.

Amanda C.: Very cute store with a nice selection. Stop in!

Kris C.: The owner welcomes you and offers direction. I have found some reads along with postcards with lovely art displayed on them here! Bookmarks, journals, and postcards are a must to tie together a bookstore and they're found here. This is a small, quirky little bookstore that you must walk into while in the Pike Place area!

Epic Heart Healing: Highly recommend this charming bookstore. It has an awesome assortment of titles to choose from. Above all, the atmosphere and the owner are vibrant, friendly, whimsical, and welcoming! My husband and I loved visiting this past week and meeting the owner David and browsing through the books! What a lovely bookshop. Also, his books are very reasonably priced. Visiting Lion Heart was our favorite part of this weekend. Check it out! You'll be glad you did!!!!

Angel Olmos: I LOVE bookshops and this is the first one I stumbled past on my trips to Seattle, so I peaked my head in. What happened next was the nicest man poked his head out from behind the counter and greeted me with the most kindness and generosity I would’ve never expected from a stranger. Never before had I met a person with such a bubbly and upbeat personality than him. He regaled me tales of all the books I took interest in, and he was very knowledgeable on just about everything. Unfortunately, I left the store wanting to pick up some Camus but he had just sold his last copy the day before. Despite not buying a thing he was appreciative of me stopping by and hoped I’d stop by again. So two years later, that’s what I did. Out of all the time that had passed one memory stood out to me from pike place, and it was this very bookstore. So I’m my return I went looking for it and lo and behold that same upbeat demeanor found me again. I exchanged pleasantries and he greeted me in that same pleasant attitude. This time however was different, he had Camus! So I stocked up on the books I wanted and with great appreciation sent me on my way. It was fate that I saw him again, recently his mother had become Ill-and so he hasn’t been able to be open all the time, and that’s partly a reason why i believe he enforces a mask policy at his store but it’s a small price to pay for the livelihood of his family and those around him and that’s something I can deeply respect. Rarely do you meet a person who stays in your head over such a tumultuous time and I have got to tell you, this is one such person and place I highly recommend you stop by and do you your shopping at.

Alexander Cole: Came to Seattle for new years. My favorite part was meeting David, the store's owner. We had a lovely chat about the book I purchased. But the most valuable thing I left with was the interaction. Will definitely be coming in here everytime I'm in town.

Neel Venugopal: The owner has a glowing personality and can answer any question you have about anything in the store. Truly a great experience, and can't recommend it enough if you like walking in book stores.

Brian Rowe: Cozy bookstore with a friendly worker behind the counter. I got 3 interesting books for less than $15! My new fav local bookshop.

David Parajon: Buy books here when in Seattle.

tanya marques: Beautiful nook of books! Found two gems and more but only went with two because of the pockets... haha!

Lise: Wonderful and quirky small book store, staff are friendly and the selection is good.

Vivian K: Ophelia's is my favorite bookstore in Seattle in terms of charm. The shop is decorated with homey trinkets and full of well-loved books. They have several used books in near-perfect condition at great prices. The one thing I did notice is the space isn't very accessible- with narrow isles and a steep spiral staircase. If accessibility isn't a concern for you, I recommend checking this place out!

Brittany Kelly: Fun store, great selection, such a kind staff!

Sten: Great inventory of well-priced and cared for books. We enjoyed looking through the many shelves and levels of this quaint bookstore.

Mya Schmitz: A lovely bookstore in Fremont! Always has an interesting collection of books and the staff here are always so kind and friendly! It’s really cozy in here and I love the spiral staircase to the basement. Highly recommend if you’re passing through the area.

The Elliott Bay Book Company: what do users think?

Richie Gowin: They sell mostly new, not used books. Be ready for regular priced books. The selection is great, all highlighted with plenty of personal recommendations scattered about. It’s nice and wide open with tall ceilings, so you feel like you have room to breathe. There’s definitely a reason it’s one of the top bookstores.

Will Oberst: Went to a book release party of a scifi novel base on of east asia had won the space race. Live music by the author, a great host, and home made food by the author's mom was an experience and a half.

Barrett Brooks: Delightful local bookshop with a coffee shop and huge book selection

Heejin Hwang: I was impressed by the handwritten recommendations for each recommended book. The bookstore has a nice atmosphere, so it's a great place to stop by. Just a souvenir? It was a pity that there wasn't much stationery.

Ashley Cates: Such great selection on every topic you can imagine!

Mick Dees (nomad.mick): Really great bookstore! So many books and well organized, and there’s a nice cafe inside.
