What the community has to say about Elliott Bay Book Co

Information about this business (3)

This independent bookstore is one of the best in the city. Its inventory boasts a fabulous range of books on Seattle and the Northwest, and if you're lucky you may come across limited editions or signed books. The bookstore also frequently hosts poetry readings, book signings and literary events for contemporary authors.

As the anchor of Seattle’s Pioneer Square District, the Elliott Bay Book Company is, fittingly, housed in the historic Globe Building, one of the first to be erected after the Great Fire of 1889 destroyed the original neighborhood. The wood floors creak from room to crevice to alcove where, in addition to the formidable fiction section, you’ll find gems in every category from both major and...

The cafe is located in the middle of Seattle's historically famous Pioneer Square. This charming grey stone is a favorite with locals, especially those who love coffee. This cafe also hosts several different events, including book signings.

“Cozy up with a book or laptop” at these Pioneer Square and Capitol Hill siblings where owner Tamara Murphy focuses on “tasty” New American dishes, including creative options for vegans and veggies; the Pioneer Square branch is underground, while the Capitol Hill branch is in Elliot Bay Bookstore.

A quaint cafe and bookstore in heart of the historic Pioneer Square District, with over 150,000 titles to choose from. The cafe is actually in the basement of the Elliott Bay Book Company, and is the ideal setting to check out your new purchases. Cafe serves fresh fare with some options for herbivores, and gut-busting donuts from the Mighty O are also on hand. Perfect place to spend a rainy...

You could easily spend hours here, wandering among the numerous wooden lofts and mezzanines piled high with books (more than 150,000 titles in all). The welcoming space—a historic brick warehouse—has wooden floors that squeak as you walk and an underground café that brews strong coffee and attracts local intellectuals. The event calendar is extensive—typically two or three author readings per...

Citysearch Editorial Review

This Seattle landmark has settled comfortably into its new location, looking as though it’s been here for years between Pike and Pine among Capitol Hill’s many coffeehouses, taverns and boutiques....

This traditional bookstore looks huge, but stays intimate by giving equal attention to local readers and international writers.

Very good selection of books. I also enjoy having so many authors come to discuss their works. But I do miss the old EB Books with its labyrinthine aisles of books.
