    Cool music merch and fun to browse if you're a fan of vinyl records.
    Louisa M.

    Yes, this location of Sub Pop is located in the SEA-TAC airport, but it's a totally rad store! The prices are higher than they should be, but it's a really neat place to grab a unique souvenir of your visit to Seattle. In addition to awesome vinyl records, they have band t-shirts, books, stickers, guitar picks, enamel pins, and other music merch. This is a great place to pick up a gift for a hard to please music lover. I mean, they even had adorable Nirvana onesies for infants! What rocker wouldn't love something like that for their kid? The original Sub Pop logos are really awesome as well, with eye-catching graphic designs and fun colors. The prices are what you'd expect for a store located in an airport, but they aren't totally crazy. I priced out a few of their double vinyl sets, and they were only marked up anywhere from $5 - $8. This isn't a boring airport shop, which I appreciate. In fact, SEA-TAC has some of the most unique (and best) shopping at any major airport, anywhere. Sub Pop Records is a great place to spend some time while waiting for your flight. Stocked with cool music merch, this is a terrific shop for vinyl record lovers.

    Ok so like customer service was negligible, but also yay for not being pestered by a salesperson- if you've got time at SEA TAC this is a fantastic shop for music lovers. Historical info about the label, a guitar for charity auction, book section, and Eve from vinyl to shirts, patches, stickers, wine.

    Wanted to walk on by. Like I've done each previous time before. I grew up in Seattle. SubPop wasn't something ever destined for a storefront in an airport. Wow. But well, the success that ignited during a truly grim and probable end times moment surely made for a strange alchemy. Talk about lead into gold legends. As I write this I'm reminded of a factor that's largely if not nearly universally part of the unknown history in the music industry, and particularly how it's roots are deeply embedded in Nirvana and what played out in a short blink decades ago. I refer merely to Gold Mountain. That's not what this about. Just including it as a fitting tie in. Seeing SubPop the first time in SeaTac year back I couldn't brink myself to enter. I grew up in the greatest city on earth back then all the artists who had there music on the label worked either at SubPop or Muzak. Also Tower Records or Peaches or any of a million other crappier places. Back in 1987 I think I first bought a soundgarden ep on cassette. fopp. Or Screaming Life. Can't recall which. Though I still have the tape at home somewhere. But after eventually digitizing all those tapes I can't recall where they might be. In 1997 I became an employee of Muzak. A systems designer. This was oddly also related to my becoming good friends with Hank Harrison, author and onetime manager of The Dead. More often recognized as Courtney Loves' estranged father and some crazy times. That too is an entirely other story. Did you know her mommy is also famous? Did you know she came from great wealth? Bet not. An heiress. Again, a story that has another time and place. To SUBPOP. Damn this place is cool. I bought a few CDs I never knew even made it to print. Mostly music I bought 30+ years ago, on tape. Artists who in one case I saw live before fame. Another who touched fame, but wasn't fully allowed in. But toured briefly with the BIG SHOW. I wish I'd have bought a few Ts. I love t shirts. I'm too old for that stuff, but I disregard such silliness. I wear ties at places I don't want to be. My wife wants me to wear them more. I might. Maybe next time I fly, I'll wear a tie and stop in to SubPop looking like an exec and pretend I'm a tourist and buy some replacement clothing for the ling gone real relics I wore into tatters.

    With a connecting flight through SEA/TAC recently, I knew I could stop by the SUB POP shop for some memories and coffee. FRESH POTS! I was old enough to Live Through This era of music the first time around, so the t-shirts scream Hot Topic teen that also has that one Ramones seal shirt. Don't judge me! Kurt would probably feel the same now. But I loved browsing through the books, and records (buy Rogue Wave "Descended Like Vultures", buy JAILL from Milwaukee, buy Colleen Green on their Hardly Art imprint label). They had some nice artwork and branded tchotchkes. But the only thing I ever buy here is the excellent Black Vinyl (whole bean) coffee by Lighthouse Roasters. Damn. Now I think I should have bought more coffee and stopped being a jerk and bought some SUB POP tchotchkes!

    Music shop IN the airport?! Leave it to Seattle and Sub-Pop Records to make it happen! Sub-Pop Records is the label behind musical talents such as Flight of the Concords, Nirvana, Sleater-Kinney, Soundgarden, and MANY more! It's undeniable to miss their impact on the grunge music scene. So needless to say when I had a layover at Sea-Tac, I had to check it out! ++ They sell a WIDE variety of merch ranging from cds, vinyls, dvds, books, apparel, etc... I chose a fun little magnet to bring home with me. ++ Employees greeted me and were very friendly during my visit. They didn't even tease me about how long it took me to choose between a magnet and keychain. Ha! ++ The store was laid out great and def easy to maneuver even for those of us with a rolling carry-on in tow. ++ Of course they were rocking a fantastic playlist during my visit. They even had a couple listening stations set up to check out some other tunes by artists on the Sub-Pop Records label! Yasss!! I know I'll be stopping by Sub-Pop Records during future visits to Seattle. Even if it's just to check out some new tunes!

    Do you hear that sound? Those angry, mumbly vocals? Those nihilistic, angst-filled lyrics? That heavy, pounding bass and drums? Those distorted electric guitars? Well, they're being drowned out by the sound of cash registers. It's really the sound of the death of my generation. Yup, grunge has gone corporate. Well, maybe it went corporate ages ago. All I know is I'd never thought I'd ever see the ultimate Alt-label with a store in an airport. All the shamefulness is there. All that overpriced vinyl and cassettes so you can pretend that you're retro. The flannel I used to pay $6.50 for is now $65. The tongue-in-cheek smartass kids books are here. There's their "sustainable" charcoal and oils soaps for the price I'd pay for a 10-pack of Dial. There's a jewelry case with stuff no grunge fan could have afforded back in the day. I mean, they have a friggin Sub-Pop onesies and plush toys, for the love of all things holy! I can't totally begrudge (or, I guess, beGRUNGE) the store. I mean, they are still, at least in part, a record store. If you're looking for the big bands of the era (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, etc.) they're all here. Still, as a Washingtonian who came of age in the Grunge Era, it's a sad, sad day. I guess everything changes.

    Such an awesome little shop. I am a Sub Pop fan since I was a kid. It is a nostalgic and cool place to find all Sub Pop records and lots of paraphernalia. I bought the 25th Anniversary of the movie soundtrack to Singles. So awesome!!! The kids working there were super cool. Nice little place to hang out and do some shopping in Sea-Tac.

    Sup Pop started it all in Seattle! Now before I rant and rave anymore it must be said without certain bands in Seattle before Sup Pop started, there would be no Sup Pop, so it's time these bands get a shout out for being the original Seattle scene: TKO CULPRIT OVERLORD ( Grunge before Grunge ) The Heats The Cowboys Shadow The Wild Dogs (Portland Band) I'm sure I left out a few but without these bands you would have Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone or Alice N Chains. So now that I've said that FRANK gives a double thumbs up for turning Seattle into music history. I may not like all the artists from Sup Pop however I'm glad there here. This store kinda shocked me to find at airport but it's so Seattle which make it kinda cool. Everything you ever needed and didn't need can be purchased. Need a new shirt to mosh in then you have 30 different ones to buy. Now for some reason LP's are available to purchase, I guess airplanes have turntables now in 1st class.. Dvd's , coffee cups and much much more are yours if you pay for it. Stop on buy and relive your youth at The Sup Pop store before you fly. Thanks for everything Sup Pop!""""

    For an airport store, they have just about anything you'd ever want. T-shirts, records, shot glasses, magnets, jewelry, wallets, etc. People working there were nice, and I was glad to finally be able to grab a t-shirt to rep one of my favorite record labels before heading out of Seattle.

    Music history in the heart of SeaTac Airport: I have long been a fan of many label acts since the days of pre-internet mail order catalogs. Glad to see the label is still very much alive, thriving, and enhancing their brand recognition with this new, high-traffic airport location. Be sure to stop and grab a t-shirt, pint glass, coffee mug, or 12 inch on your way home.

    Lots of fun Seattle stuff for souvenirs.

This is the first review I have ever posted to yelp--that is how happy I am with the service provided by the staff of this establishment. Searching for the elusive "Jewish Wisdom Ball" as a humorous gift for my 92 year-old father (who fortunately needs nothing), it was out of stock everywhere, until it showed up on the gift shop website, on sale no less. I placed my order and crossed my fingers. Within 48 hours I received a cheery message wishing me a "Happy Hanukkah", confirming shipping and actually apologizing for not having mailed it faster in the midst of the busy holiday season! I have since had occasion to contact them again and they are always prompt, professional and courteous. The gift shop is in Seattle while I live in Illinois, yet they treat me as though I am an old friend or longtime congregation member who has been walking through their doors often over the years. Based on this positive experience I intend to continue to support them with future purchases where appropriate. They are the sort of people we need more of in the world today and I can't thank them enough for the manner in which they do their jobs.

Getting to Pike Place is super easy on public transit from the airport - it's direct there and under an hour away. Very user-friendly. The market itself can be explored in a couple of hours. I didn't get to see the famous "fish throwing" unfortunately but I did get to check out a number of stores. Places are very generous with samples. I tried bread with a few different balsamic vinegars and oils, salmon, truffle spreads and salt, and apple juice. The area around the market is very walkable and felt safe and clean. Prices are reasonable and it's easy to pick up souvenirs for friends. There are a wide variety of sundries available and most shops had airplane-friendly packaging. Also nearby is the famous gum wall (disgusting!) and the original Starbucks. Restrooms are plentiful although I found them to be a little unsavory in terms of cleanliness. The stall doors were also weirdly short? I'm a modest 5'3" and I found myself towering over them. Worth a stop if you're in the area. Very fun vibes.

I kind of thought you could buy most essentials at the airport, but it turns out children's shoes are not a typical travel need, at least when they aren't being worn by traveling children. Fireworks did carry children's slippers, which caught my eye as I passed, as well as a nice assortment of unique, crafty toys and gifts. Unfortunately, my five-year-old followed me into the store and zeroed in on a tiny, colorful finger puppet in the shape of a parrot. He asked me to buy it for him, and I declined, telling him we weren't getting a souvenir before we even left the airport. He was upset by this to the point of tears, but I managed to get us out of there. We had a wonderful time in Seattle, and to his credit, the five-year-old behaved well the whole trip (and the two-year-old got new shoes). When I saw Fireworks Gallery again by our departure gate, I decided at the last possible second to stop in and get him the parrot. It was one of several Folkmanis finger puppets in a wire basket. I picked it up along with a bunny rabbit and went to check out. There was a short line at the register--I guess this shop gets decent traffic--and by the time I was up, my husband was calling to tell me we were boarding. This is how I paid $36.36 for two finger puppets that cost $10 apiece online. Fireworks got me good, but my boys do love their little puppets, which are soft and cute and well made. The wares here are definitely nicer and less generic than at your average airport store. It might cost you, though, if you wander in there with your kids.
