    I don't know how else to describe this place other than saying that Pink Gorilla is just straight up awesome. Here is a list of SOME of the things they sell. - Pokémon, Nintendo and Mario World Plushies. - NES Games. - Sega Games. - All and every version of the Game Boy games. - Games for PlayStation & X-Box. - Game Boys and other other systems. - Cute Kawaii Keychains. - Accessories for all gaming systems. I was overwhelmed with how much awesomeness was in this store. Also, the guy who was working here when I visited was really nice. If you're super nerdy and love nostalgia . This is a place you have to stop while in Seattle.

    WOW! A real import video game store! While wandering around the ID we saw this great window full of anime and video game characters. Eventually we found the entrance. (it's not where you think it is) And discovered this great store. There are two parts to this store and one is on the left, the other on the right. The one on the left is full of video game merchandise. Shirts, keychains, statues, toys, paper. Just a great mix from all sorts of hit Japanese games. The right side houses all the import Japanese games and retro gaming gear. Hanging from the ceiling are old NES controllers, Genesis, even a Dreamcast. I swear these guys probably have a power glove somewhere. All the games are in Japanese so you better be ready to learn the language if you get them here.

    Well, this is the first Pink Gorilla store but the last one for me to review. Wikipedia says that the International District store is the "primary and original" retailer. I remember coming here back when I was in high school, when the store was still called "Pink Godzilla" and the second store in the University District hadn't opened yet. But then the name "Godzilla" infringed on some copyrights or something, and the name was changed and now there are four stores total! The International District store feels especially cramped by comparison to the other stores, and parking is an absolute nightmare. If you don't manage to snag a spot on the street, then have fun paying a ton for Uwajimaya parking. Even after you park, the location may not be immediately obvious; look for the door under the sign that says "Fort St. George" and it's in there. The selection also feels kind of limited; maybe it's because some of their good stuff has moved to the other stores. And of course, with something like old video games, what they have depends largely on what people bring in to sell. That means the stuff is going to change all the time, and they're not entirely to blame if you don't see what you're looking for during the time of your visit. I do like this store a lot, and it brings back a lot of good memories for me. You're likely to see me drive to this one out of all the other stores the least though because I can never find decent parking. If I happen to be in the area, then yeah, I'll definitely stop by to see whether anything has arrived that I might like to buy.

    It may be hyperbole but Elliot Bay Book maybe the best bookstore in the United States. That's…read moresaying a lot but after spending a complete afternoon here, I am comfortable in my decree. EBB is have to visit if you are Seattle. Skip the bubblegum wall and the original Starbucks. If you truly want to see Seattle, visit Elliott Bay Book and you will thank me later. I wish I had more time to visit every section and shelf. I wandered aimelessly at first then found myself in Queer True Crime. I ended up having a fantastic conversation with a lovely human at the information desk. I don't remember their name but they even spoke with my daughter on my iPhone as I was looking for a particular book for my wife. I was also on the hunt for Etna, a novel but it was sold out. I ended up purchasing per a staff recommendation, 'Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris' by Georges Perec Reading the first couple of pages instantly transported back to Paris, a place I know extemely well, and I saw every bus, man, woman, child, server worker, and heard every klaxon and shouted obscenity. Do yourself a favor and search out Elliot Bay Book when you visit Seattle, you'll be supporting a local business and feeding your mind and soul.

The place is massive, with high wooden shelves, endless aisles, and a selection that spans just about every genre you can think of. If you remember the golden age of independent brick-and-mortar bookstores, walking in here hits a really nice nostalgic chord while still feeling vibrant and full of energy. The handwritten staff recommendation notes posted along the shelves are a fun touch, and having a cozy cafe tucked inside makes it easy to grab a drink and get lost in browsing for an hour or two. It is definitely a cool, memorable stop in the neighborhood whether you are hunting for a specific read or just soaking in the literary vibes.
