    corner of some vinyl LP gems
    Melissa G.

    This record store made my list of "Must Go-To" spots when I came back through Seattle for a work trip. I did not realize this was my 2nd time at Spin Cycle until I walked in. This Texas girl was happy to be back here as I found some really great gems while digging here. Pricing here is fair but I was not expecting to really come under what I wanted to spend here because I was able to find a few albums I had on my Discogs Want List at half price. One of the records I was able to find was an early 1990's copy of a Beastie Boys LP. I held on to that record so tight as I continued my browsing. I was able to walk out with an early pressing of Pacific Northwesterners / riot grrl band Sleater-Kinney. I took so good care of these records as I flew back with them to bring them home with me to Austin. Staff here was friendly and super cool. I saw several people come in to sell things and they navigated that sale with checking me out super efficiently. The area was cool to hop around too. Thanks for the fun browsing! I will definitely be back when I am back up this way again.

    Overdue post for Spin Cycle, located along Broadway on Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. I've stopped in several times with The Homie. Nice indie shop where the inventory changes often enough, there's always something to discover. Also, pretty chill and never dour counter staff at Spin Cycle. May not be as vast inventory as other indies, but usually have stopped in when wandering the vicinity. We've purchased assorted CDs, DVDs, cassettes, vinyl, and stereo accessories. Make sure to stop by and also use that initial Yelp discount when you check-in.

    So far one of the better record/media stores in the area. One of my favorite stores to visit on a whim. Seattle in general is great for this stuff, but this store is a great example of why that is.

    I was walking southbound on Broadway one day when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on a shelf. That is my second favorite video game (first is Final Fantasy VII), and it's far from the most widespread game around, so I really appreciated seeing this little gem for sale in a store on a busy street. Too bad the rest of the store could use a lot of improvement. The place is rather tiny and crowded; I know that it's only possible to work with however much space is available, but navigating this store is somewhat uncomfortable. I don't know how a name that sounds like it would belong to a laundromat came to belong to a store selling games and discs, but I guess weirder things have happened. Their selection isn't all that great, either. I did not see much in the way of Nintendo DS games or actually any newer systems at all; they seem to specialize primarily in older consoles. The condition of some of their merchandise is questionable; they put some of their stuff on the floor. You know, where everybody on this busy street walks. I swear that if I ever buy any of those used PS2 games, the cases are getting trashed. I don't care so much about buying hard copies of music, so I have nothing to say in that department. But their games for the most part are old and dirty. They don't even have that great of a selection to begin with. Instead, I would recommend Pink Gorilla in King County or Another Castle in Snohomish County for retro video games. Still, stores selling old games are a dying breed and I'm glad this one exists at all.

    This is an example of the grading and comments on their records.

    After a field trip to the Alber's School of Business at Seattle University, my punk student was drawn into this little shop. The records appear well-selected and graded. These are the most classic punk albums I've seen outside a punk-only store. The owner is happy to show customers where things are located. He's knowledge of both his stock and albums in general. He explained, for instance, how to identify an original Nevermind the Bollocks album. The grading and detailed comments are on the inside of the albums. They're being fair and are explaining their prices. That's rare with record sellers. I did not see the games, but did look over the DVDs. My purchase was a RHPS cast album and a Beatles album (reissue) for my dear mother. My student purchased a punk LP. I'm not sure, but I suspect this record store made his day!

    Home sweet home here @ Spin Cycle!

    Stumbled upon this place while wandering down Broadway. Jason was super nice and helpful, and recommended on the best live music in town!

    My friend and I walked around with our heads down, like a couple of sad Charlie Browns, after we were on our way to Gruv for our used DVD fix for the day.
