Overall this store has a very large inventory of CDs and DVD. I'm not a vinyl user but it seems SoDo location has quite a bit more vinyl than Bellevue. Staff here are knowledgeable and courteous.

Great prices, all vinyl I checked were clean and in VG++ to EX condition. Found two great finds for a very great price!!

My only complaint is they literally never ever answer their phone. I called for three days before finally just driving the hour to the store. I would come again but its really frustrating when i just wanted to ask a question about a particular record player I saw there before and they wont answer the phone which could have saved me hours of driving.​

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.

Georgetown Records: A Hidden Gem for Vinyl Lovers…read more Nestled in the heart of Seattle's artsy Georgetown neighborhood, Georgetown Records is more than just a record store--it's a cultural heartbeat with serious soul. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed into a haven where fair trade practices meet crate-digging nirvana. What sets Georgetown Records apart isn't just its ethical sourcing (though that's a major win). It's the curated selection of rare, hard-to-find vinyl spanning genres and decades--each crate a treasure trove for seasoned collectors and new audiophiles alike. Whether you're chasing obscure jazz pressings, punk bootlegs, or global folk gems, the staff here know their wax and are eager to guide you. And the vibe? Unmatched. Located in the Georgetown neighborhood--a hotbed of creativity and industrial charm--the shop is surrounded by galleries, coffee spots, and vintage curiosities. It's the perfect pitstop for a weekend wander or an impromptu record hunt. Ethical. Eclectic. Electric. Georgetown Records delivers on all fronts.

I've visited Fantagraphics that shares the same entrance and corner location, but finally ventured…read moreleft to check out Georgetown Records (1/14/24). Like every indie vinyl shop, there's always treasure to be had. Enjoyed seeing the various world titles, variety of nostalgic bric-a-brac, vinyl for every price range, plus really friendly upbeat staff. I ended up with two records from Donna Summer and Rick James. Not a popular genre for some, but I love disco! And who didn't dig such a catchy tune, Super Freak?! It was such a score and ended up being quite the economical purchase versus the mocha I drank afterwards.

I would not recommend anyone go to this dilapidated and horrid place. The lady who runs the store…read morewas astonishingly rude to my grandmother, who is 70 years old, very kind, and just a bit slow. I understand that people can come under pressure and stress sometimes, but not only is this place never busy--so I don't know where any of that would be coming from--but you should NEVER be rude to your elders. That's a golden rule. My grandma was just trying to send a package to Vietnam but was having trouble, and even though my brother was there to help her, it was still confusing because the lady spent more time yelling at them for being "unprepared" and "wasting her time" (again, when the store never gets much business lol); she was also aggressive with her coworker, who was moving around some boxes. They were yelling at each other a lot. Anyway, there are other places you can go to if you need to send packages, buy CDs/DVDs, or buy Vietnamese medicine. You do NOT need to give this horrible place your money or time. Tôi không khuyên bất kỳ ai nên đến nơi tồi tàn và kinh khủng này. Người phụ nữ điều hành cửa hàng đã cư xử vô cùng thô lỗ với bà tôi, người đã 70 tuổi, rất hiền lành và chỉ hơi chậm chạp một chút. Tôi hiểu rằng đôi khi mọi người có thể gặp áp lực và căng thẳng, nhưng không chỉ vì cửa hàng này không bao giờ đông khách--nên tôi không hiểu tại sao lại có chuyện đó xảy ra--mà bạn TUYỆT ĐỐI không được thô lỗ với người lớn tuổi. Đó là một quy tắc vàng. Bà tôi chỉ đang cố gắng gửi một bưu kiện đến Việt Nam nhưng gặp khó khăn, và mặc dù anh trai tôi ở đó để giúp đỡ bà, mọi chuyện vẫn rất khó hiểu vì người phụ nữ đó dành nhiều thời gian la mắng họ vì "không chuẩn bị trước" và "làm mất thời gian của bà ta" (một lần nữa, trong khi cửa hàng không bao giờ đông khách cả); bà ta cũng tỏ ra hung hăng với đồng nghiệp của mình, người đang di chuyển một số thùng hàng. Họ đã cãi nhau rất nhiều. Dù sao đi nữa, có rất nhiều nơi khác bạn có thể đến nếu cần gửi bưu kiện, mua đĩa CD/DVD hoặc mua thuốc của Việt Nam. Bạn KHÔNG cần phải lãng phí tiền bạc và thời gian của mình cho nơi tồi tệ này.

I am happy I did because I found some really cool 7inch singles here (see photos) to bring back home to Austin with me. Walking in to Fat Cat Records I immediately loved the vibe in here. It really feels like you are walking into a friends top-of-the-hill apartment to hang and look through their record collection in a super welcoming place. I really loved the overlook down off the street and neighborhood of N. Stone Way. You will find cassettes, CDs, 45 singles, books, and all mediums amongst new and collector's issues and selections. You definitely want to come in here and be curious because you WILL find something unique. Here is what I found and brought back: - I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher (45 single) - Only the Lonely by Roy Orbison (45 single) -Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee (45 single) - King Tut by Steve Martin - a rare Modest Mouse 7inch (white vinyl) Pricing is excellent for what I got and everything was fantastically in good shape especially for the ones I found that are from the 1950-1960s. Many of the singles had typed out/inventory markings on them too which makes me wonder where they were before showing up to this cool record store?!?! My friend got some pretty rad and rare vinyl too! Everyone was super impressed by the selection they had here. This record store will be a must when I come back again next year for conference things.

Most of the new vinyl selection will be of movie and video game OST, with a slight focus on Japanese anime and music (Japanese electronic, jazz, etc). The old vinyl selection will have a mix of eclectic and obscure bands as well as a few more mainstream/popular albums, and prices are fair. Just don't expect to find the latest pop release here. I've picked up a few vintage records here, and they all played perfectly without noise. It's always fun to visit to discover some oldies, and they are constantly stocking new items. Also, one of the staff let me know Al is named after the owner's dog (so cute and it's the logo of the store too!). I believe they also own HIFI LOFI across the street, which you should definitely check out as well.

This store is massive and is in a warehouse style building. The selections for vinyl records are is extensive with a mix of both used and new.

There were a few vinyls that were priced lower from other online retailers. I also explored their dvds and books section. They offer both used and new copies. Service was excellent. The staff assisting me provided some great information on their rewards program. Customers can accrue a rebate of 5% in the form of points on any purchases. The points can then be used to purchase any item in store or website. Lastly, there are both street and private lot parking available.
