This is one of my happy places. It reminds me of the old Elliot Bay and I love seeing this busy location thriving. The prices for Dogman books are cheap and I love selling books to replenish my stock for my kids. The other day, two retired ladies with by the cafe offered to wrap my kids books recently purchased. I love how community is present and visible. 5 stars.

Absolutely love this bookstore! They offer a good mix of both new and old books. We had a nice time walking around and picked up 4 new book. It's also convenient that you can sell your books here too!

Really love this bookstore. Finally made it to this branch if Third Place and it is huge! The bookstore is part of a larger commons with a cafeteria inside with restaurants. The building is two stories and there is parking on both side of the building, which helps because the parking lots in the front gets packed. Went to an author event and had a great time. Lots of great author events and a wonderful selection of books in many different genres.

We were visiting the Edmonds area and stopped for a quick bite at the community center at the Third Place books. We bought a bunch of books and journals for our friends and family including journals, youth and adult fiction. You can spend an hour here easily and not get board. The books are neatly stacked and arranged with ample recommendations from staff.

Great selection of new and used books, as well as plenty of independent and local authors! Love the space, lots of seating in the mall area along with food/drink options. Lovely place to hang out, read, chat, work and/or play in a community setting. This is THE Third Place!
