    Open Signs @ Art Primo Seattle
    Angelina V.

    THEY ARE OPEN!!! I'm so thrilled Art Primo Seattle is open during this time. I'm working with small businesses and trying to stay artistically productive for my mental well being during this time. Being able to get the art supplies I need and support local business is such a bonus. I'm also really happy they are able to ship orders if they don't have what I need at the physical location. Seattle orders are almost always next day and I appreciate this so much. Thank you Art Primo Seattle for keeping the community here artistically supplied and I N S P I R E D!

    Such a dope shop!

    A Graffiti Artists HEAVEN.... First and foremost, I am a HUGE supporter of Art Primo and his work. I've learned a lot of my spray etiquette from his YouTube videos, and adventures. So when my homie told me he had a shop I was FAN GIRLING. I had to go no matter what. We traveled to Seattle by ferry and modded it straight to the store. Driving there from the ferry is like a 10 min drive, and walking there is like 30 mins. Lol! (Uber or Lyft my friends) When we pulled up you can see a crowd of artists sitting around tables just sketching, drawing etc. Sooooo dope. Felt in my element. I walked in and was overwhelmed with excitement. They have any color you could imagine. The store was small yet big enough for its purpose. The young lady helping me was very informative with merchandise and matched my needs with things she'd recommend, and things she'd think I'd like. I went a little ham and bought one of everything basically. Haha! They have everything from pro markers, drips, spray paint, caps, stickers YOU NAME IT! FYI: These are professional materials. Think sharpie times 100. Lol! I'm telling you. These are no joke. They will stay forever and do damage. Definitely do research on what kind of product your looking for but most likely the workers here will help you to the best of their abilities. Prices are soooooo affordable. They have weekly deals on cans as well. I got a couple spray cans for $3. Branded and Good quality. If you're a graffiti artist that's a f*ckin gold mine. That Walmart price for gooooooooooooooooood quality paint man. IF ONLY I LIVED HERE... I'd be here everyday. Just chillin, painting, and spending so much money. Lol! I'd highly recommend this place to my fellow artists.

    Picked up a few supplies to get some work done. Paint was outstanding like normal for a low pressure can. The lady who was working there I didn't get here name but she was a very big help not only with the store but also with me being able to have a few places for legal work prices are a little up there but for quick supplies its worth it

    Any oil-paint fine tip markers?

    Art Primo carries Deco Color markers, UNI Paint Markers, and Magic Ink markers, all of which use a xylene base.

    I love this place! It's like a thrift store for your crafting needs. Yarn, fabric, art supplies,…read morestickers, papers, embroidery, needlepoint, used stamps, vintage photos, international paper money, etc. They also have used books/magazines for crafts and plastic containers. I found some themed collage packs - valentines and Disney themed and a plastic container to store my washi tape! Everything is super affordable too.

I only bought two little pens and a sewing pattern, and I'm not even sure what the subtotal was. I assumed it was 75c with tax, so just in case I pulled out two dollars. The lady told me "I need 4 cents." I thought she meant the total was $1.04, so I told her "Oh I don't have coins, I'll pay with card so you don't have to make change." She gave me a pointed look and said, "...then I'll have to charge you an extra 50c" I was super confused, but that was fine. I thought it over a little, and then she told me, "Your total is only 96c" Totally fine, I gave her one dollar and told her to keep the change. Usually... you tell the customer their total and they can figure out what to give you. Not a weird vague comment. She's not mean, she helped me find a nearby bathroom, and she told another customer she's worked at a paint store before, so I think she's just... odd. I think staff needs a little more consistent training, it was somewhat uncomfortable.

    I am an UW alumni and have been to this bookstore location several times a long long time ago when…read moreI was a student. I never realized or appreciated how amazing this store was. About two weeks ago, my favorite K-pop group, LE SSERAFIM, was in town and during the encore, they came out in full UW gear. After researching, I found out that the gear was from University Book Store. I really wanted to buy the hat that Chaewon wore and was able to find and buy one there. It was a University Book Store exclusive printed/embroidered on '47 brand Hat. There is a reason I am telling this story though! While I was there, I looked around and see what kind of merchandises they were selling and I noticed that they have done collaboration with quality brands such as Lululemon, Champion (reverse Weave), Adidas, '47 Brand, New Era, etc. Clearly, whoever is in charge of designing the fan gear here knows what they are doing. They also had a clearance section upstairs with items marked down up to 50%. If you're a current UW student or UW Alumni and haven't been here in recent years like me, I highly recommend checking it out. Check out my photos of all the UW gears that LE SSERAFIM members wore during the concert.

    I'm not a big book reader, so take this review with a grain of salt. However, I do appreciate the…read morehusky gear and the coffee shop in the store. I've also noticed that books are arranged similarly to Barnes & Noble. I've been told that the books are carefully arranged and sorted via subcontracted by Barnes & Noble, so if you're interested in that, this is definitely the place for you. The prices are a bit high, but they do go back into student support and activities, so it's a good investment. Also, there is a 20% discount or specific dates and timelines along with promotionals for students. but I don't think that these discounts apply to text books. I definitely recommend a university bookstore.

I went to get some pop tape for a project. Not only was I shown the exact place to find it in, but also the one that would work best for my needs. The lady asked me what I wanted it for and went above and beyond by grabbing a piece of paper and showing me other ways to do it. What I had imagined to be too much work, seemed very simple after all, after the little demo from her. So thankful for this store and its employees!
