tips for digging in seattle

  • Go on a weekday afternoon — staff have more time to chat and shelves are freshly restocked.
  • Bring cash. Plenty of independents still prefer it, and some give a small discount.
  • Ask about new arrivals and back-room stock. The good stuff isn't always on the floor.
  • Check the Seattle listings on Vinyl Atlas before you go — opening hours and stock change often.
