Seattle record shops are often picked over, so come over here to find treasures and better pricing. They also have the new records here too, and vinyls seem to be priced according to quality as you can find the same vinyls priced differently. Selection is great without being impossible to browse through. The owner is pretty friendly. There's also nice ambient music playing in the background (on a record player, of course). I bought some records where the album cover was very worn, so I wasn't expecting much but miraculously they played without any noise. Amazing!

Came here killing some time between shifts in the area and what a cool little shop that takes you…read moreback to the mid 2000's and prior. There is wall to wall media of music both CD's/cassettes, DVD's movies- including box sets of shows. Some of which are new or are in great condition. It's a relatively small shop but it's packed with so much media, you could spend a bit of time here if you're looking for something specific or even if you're browsing. It's just on the other side of 405 but still considered part of Totem Lake. What's nice is Vortex would be considered a small business, I mean what other major retailer these days buys and sells physical media like this presently? furthermore, I'm all for the preservation of physical media with so much of everything going digital now. If I'm looking for something in particular and need it for my DVD or CD player, I'll probably try here and perhaps you should too.

I don't live in the area, so it had been a while since I had set foot in a Silver Platters, and…read moreBellevue was the only location I had previously known of. So, I was thrilled when I found that, not only did the stores still exist, but they had a Lynnwood location when I was in that part of the metro Seattle area. It was fantastic to be able to browse a huge collection of music and movies, and find great titles at wonderful prices. On the music side of things, they had loads of used titles, and I was exstatic to see how many new discs they had in stock. I asked at the counter if they had a section for SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) music, a format that has always been a niche product, and has very few titles being released any more. The person behind the counter not only knew what I was talking about, but he apologized for not having a separate section for these discs, and told me I would find them mixed in with everything else by the same artists. I am very much looking forward to my next visit to the Seattle area, and being able to browse some more.

My collection is huge yet I always managed to find something interesting to grab. Like Alice In Chain LP BURT ! Still amazing today as it was in the 90's when I bought it then on cd... Now behind the counter space is some rare items. Nice thing is the staff can locate you items to pre order or from another store so don't hesitate to test their skill and knowledge. And last but not least you'll always find a great value in the used merchandise. Some of the coolest stuff now is used and some of that stuff you can flip on EBay ! Just don't share that data.. Anyways LOVE SILVER PLATTERS!
