My kids and I had an absolutely awful experience at this store today with one of the employees!! My…read morekids and I were looking through the children's books when a female employee DEMANDED that we move to a different section of the store so she could take inventory behind us. Not even of the books we were looking at. She literally said, "I need in this section so you're going to need to move to a different area." She had the most awful and rude tone. She was extremely rude in how she asked and then proceeded to literally argue with me in the store because I tried to explain that those were the books we came to the store to look at. I have never had an experience with an employee like that literally anywhere in my entire life!! That woman should not be interacting with customers in any way shape or form. I didn't say anything to another employee and we just left because it was so upsetting. But I probably should have because if I was the owner or manager of the store, I would want to if is one of my employees was speaking to my customers that way.

I had to use the restroom while there and while the handicap restroom is very spacious there were multiple mini flies circling the trash and thus the sink (so washing your hands was gross because of flies circling your head). I also noticed a few flies towards the seating at the middle/back of the store too. The flies kind of gave me the ick, I was wishing for some measures that showed they were trying to take care of their fly problem, but didn't see any. This is a fixable problem. 3 stars for the flies, 4 stars for the overall vibe.

So, I decided to head to the Everett Mall (I was meeting up with some friends in Everett to game that night), because someone told me about Wishes. I was concerned that it would be a toy store with a few games in the back. No way! This place is Boardgame heavy. In fact, I saw titles and expansions I wouldn't expect to see in any Boardgame store. Dice? Not much of a selection. At all. I wanted a block of 36 D6s from Chessex. They might have had a handful of Chessex polyhedral sets. I was disappointed. But I decided to walk through the boardgane section. Again, Wow! Lots of depth of titles. I think I saw Twilight Imperium from a row away, and I thought, 'Would they have any Cthulhu Wars expansions? Nah, not in a mall, right?' OMG. I was so wrong. I found a shelf practically dedicated to Cthulhu Wars and Dark Souls! I highly recommend Wishes in the Everett Mall! The two employees I met (Zack and John?) were both friendly and helpful. I ended up buying a Cthulhu Wars expansion - The Sleeper. I still can't believe they had it in stock.

It's what every neighborhood needs, really. Ridgecrest Books is located in the Ridgecrest neighborhood of Shoreline, which isn't huge, but has just what this cozy area needs. Among other businesses, Ridgecrest Books is one of the few businesses on a central street with plenty of street parking. My friends and I visited during the Seattle Independent Bookstore Day, so it was pretty busy in the small bookstore, but was still a welcoming experience. They even had discounted books on racks outside the store, in addition to the collection inside. They don't have the largest book collection here, but it's curated well. I also love that this bookstore is dog friendly! Anytime I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop by and check out what's new at this wonderful, neighborhood bookstore.

There are also store merch like onesies, Tshirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, cards, and stickers. It was nice to stop by and get an overview of their offerings. It will be nice to be able to place bookorders in my actual city, in addition to my faves in Seattle and Lake Forest Park. There's ample street parking, located at 165th & 5th near Crest Theater, Cafe Aroma, and Drumlin. Nice retail area growing in Ridgecrest!
