Pine Books

I recently visited Pine Books, which was previously known as Lion Heart Books, and had a pretty pleasant experience. The store is well-organized and has a great selection, ranging from poetry, philosophy, history, children's books, and much more. It's the perfect place to explore if you're in Pike Place Market and looking to browse or purchase literature. The staff was helpful when I asked about finding specific books, though I did notice they didn't have everything I was looking for. That said, it's always nice to discover new titles while wandering around a place like that. The bookstore itself is clean and welcoming, making it a comfortable spot to spend some time. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by to check out their collection!

This is a gorgeous little bookshop technically on the 4th floor of pike place, which has friendly staff and an adorable cavalier King Charles dog who sits adorably in the front, and lets you pet him. Highly recommend a visit!

Another pretty and cute bookstore like others. It was cute, had book selections and nice book store but it wasn’t that I was looking for.

Friendly and very knowledgeable. Great selection of Frankenstein and Dracula novels. I bought the wife a fancy edition of phantom of the opera. We spent the morning walking to all the book stores in pike place, this was the stop we came back to for 2 separate purchases.

Hours of operation are 10am - 5:30pm Fridays. I arrived at 5:15pm and the doors are locked, closed sign on the door. Super annoying and poor business practice! Not sure if the blonde lady sitting on a stool behind the counter is an associate, manager or owner but someone should adjust the hours of operation if google isn’t accurate.

All book sellers curate their selection - it’s always nice when you find titles you have read and enjoyed next to new finds that you suspect were picked by kindred hearts.

A great bookstore on the floor below the main floor of Pike Place. Although it's a little small and selection is a bit limited, there are still plenty of great books to choose from and they're cheap too. The star of the bookstore (other than the signed Shel Silverstein book) is the owner. He's incredibly friendly, makes great jokes, and serenades his customers with funny songs. I would go back to the store just because of him. Definitely recommend checking this place out.
