Vinyl stores at Seattle? thanks

I should also have included Tower Records on my list above. Tower is located on Mercer Street, near the Seattle Center. It carries a small selection of LP's -- but not enough to make a special trip unless you are also planning to shop for CD's.

Hi, dear folks,
thank you for all the nice info!

PS Mr. Sdcampbell,

mianly I listen to classical and jazz, any specific store I must visit in Seattle?

I was a Bud's recently and the place is a hole. I think Bud is retiring and the stock has already been picked over. Lots of junky 70s "jazz", "digital" vinyl that belongs in a thrift shop not a record shop. Not worth a special trip but the neighborhood is cool and a true vinyl junkie will disregard my post anyhow figuring that they will unearth some treasure that everyone else missed. You have been warned.

Drive up to Vancouver, Canada and take advantage of the Canadian peso. One of the finest vinyl emporiums that I have ever been to is there, Noize in downtown Vancouver. Small shop but Phil only stalks quality merchandise. No junk and most items are under $10 CDN so that about six bucks in real money. Stuff that some guys would charge 20 and 30 bucks for can be had cheap. Just a suggestion if you are in the area.

Like Columbo used to say...just one more thing...there is also a great record store up in Bellingham, ThreeV on State Street. Lots of jazz and reasonable prices. The owner loves to haggle and is very fair. Bring cash.
