Elliott Bay Book Company

Elliott Bay Book Company has been one of Seattle’s favorite independent bookstores since it was founded in 1973. Long-time manager Tracy Taylor and beloved Seattle business owners Murf Hall and Joey Burgess took over the bookshop in June 2022. 

The multi-level, cedar-shelved line shop in the heart of Capitol Hill houses over 150,000 titles for customers to shop from. Elliot Bay Book Co. also regularly hosts author readings and events to help its community connect with the authors they love.

Bonus: You can find the Little Oddfellows café inside the bookshop.
