Rottengoth Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hate to make a thread about this but I'm going on tour and I have a day off in Portland and Seattle. Im looking for some great record stores in those areas, mostly that have a good selection on metal, hardcore, punk and all in between. Thanks.

JacobMckinley Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 There might already be a thread about exactly this, but just in case. You can't go wrong with 2nd Avenue records in Portland for your Metal/Punk/Hardcore needs. Music Millennium off of Burnside is also a winner. davepriz and thievedrelic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Last time I was in Portland, I hit up Crossroads music on SE Hawthorne.. There was tons of used stuff there. Got some killer deals, (OG Press of NIN - Pretty Hate Machine for $40) Edited July 8, 2016 by roadmonkey jackshidt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamha21 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm local in Portland... Crossroads is one of my favorites if you like to dig deep. Almost all used and tricky layout because there are like 30 different vendors under one roof. Jackpot and Music Millenium are both pretty good especially if you like newer stuff. Occasionally they can have some good used gems. Mississippi Records is an institution, but their selection hasn't been great lately. Clinton Street Record and stereo is a little out of the way in SE, but has some pretty good Soul/Funk. I've read good things about Beacon Sound, but have never been there. The best record stores in Portland are the following three (in no particular order): Exiled Records, Little Axe Records and Musique Plastique. Those 3 and Crossroads are my favorites.

EquinoxDesignLab Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 For all things heavy, Zion's Gate in Seattle is great. Its a bit over priced IMO, but still the selection is quite varied. I live closer to Sonic Boom in Ballard, which I visit almost every weekend. Their used section in particular always has some great picks.

slipcraig Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 In Seattle, Easy Street in West Seattle is worth your time. They are, sadly, frequently overpriced, but I still like to support them because they are local. In both Seattle and Portland, Everyday Music is worth a stop. Quality used recent arrivals and (let's be honest) really fun bargain CD section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_ Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Surprised that nobody mentioned Everyday Music in Portland. They have 2 locations, on Sandy BLVD on the Eastside and on Burnside on the Westside. Both are really solid, especially if you like modern used stuff. I stop by both weekly to check their used recent arrivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcha Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Sounds like you'll dig Mississippi Records in Portland a lot. I think they have a pretty great metal selection. docbronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tardcore Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I went to a few places last time I was in Portland. Had the best luck at 2nd Ave. Grabbed some great pacific-northwesty stuff.
