pushbacktosquare Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'll be in Portland / Seattle this weekend. Any record stores I should check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Mississippi and Music Millenium are the two I usually hit up. @jonrawks always has some good Seattle suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I visited both about 2.5 years ago (both amazing cities) and loved exploring the record stores in both. One of my favourite things in Seattle was that all of the record stores offered a Seattle and area record store map, which was amazing since as a Canadian I didn't have data on my phone and had to navigate using actual directions. No idea if they still do that but I wish all cities had something like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I second what @The Butcha said, and will say I also love 2nd Ave Records (Portland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Seattle record stores that I'd recommend Every Day Music - my favorite in the city Spin Cycle - good little shop, can be a bit overpriced Sonic Boom - up in Ballard, can be a bit of a trek to get there, but there's a lot to do in the area Easy St. Records - in West Seattle, another small trek Singles Going Steady - mostly focuses on punk/metal/similar, cool shop if you like that style of music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I often don't even tell people about Mississippi because I love them so much I don't like to share them around too much. It's a terrible idea not to promote your favorite record store, but I do it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
