Since it's a used clothes (mostly) store the inventory can be good or bad, but I've had terrific luck here. I've gotten clothes from J. Crew, Banana Republic, Bebe, Lucky Jeans and more for a fraction of the normal cost and in relatively great condition. They also have a fun shoe selection, funky accessories and bags, and are a great spot when looking for a one-of-a-kind dress for under $30.
Pros: Great value
Cons: It's not assured that they have what you want in your size

I am from Yakima, Wa and I was visiting the U District Twice Sold Tales for the first time. I was very impressed! They had a HUGE section of Sci-Fi! The prices were significantly higher than in Yakima for used books, but, they also seemed to be in much better condition, and also had an incredibly more vast selection too. So, it kind of balances out. The only deal is, they have cats. I'm highly allergic to cats. However, despite that, the one big furry golden/orange cat didn't set off my allergies. Don't know what's up with that. So, if you want to have a great selection of books, check this place out. Just take your allergy pills (like I always have to) before you go!

We loved this store. The location in Capitol Hill is very large. The upstairs has lots of casual T-shirts, jeans, shoes, etc. Some are stylish, some just retro. Downstairs they have lots of costumes and accessories, almost anything you want. Lots of crazy, busy decorations everywhere. Fun Store.
PROS: You will find something you like.
CONS: A bit pricey for used clothing!!

I can't say enough about this pub, it's like the west village meets the northwest...LOVE IT. AMAZING Sitka Spruce carved tables all salvaged from recycled old growth, NOT CUT FRESH. Meticulous when it comes to details,... and the lighting. .... let's just say EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD. Brand new construction, amazing staff, funky cool neighborhood, oh.. to boot, there's a coffee shop/bookstore in the same building, it's like a whole afternoon in one building. Forgive the structure of my sentences and placement of commas, just go and you'll have a new favorite pub. ... period.
Pros: amazing details, great staff, cheap food..but good
Cons: none

I think Armadillo is both great for shopping and consignment. They have a constantly changing variety of items such as furniture, art, clothes, shoes, jewelry, home and garden items. I have taken in some things for consignment and I am always well recieved by Wayne and his employees. They are very friendly and most helpful. Another thing I like is that Armadillo is so easy to find and there is plenty of free parking.
Pros: Easy to find, free parking and great variety.
Cons: Closed Mondays.

I can't say enough good things about this bookstore--I just get a good feeling whenever I walk in here. It's cozy with books stacked everywhere: on steps, counters, the floor. There are little nooks and crannies to explore. It's what a bookstore should be. There's no way that the selection can be as extensive as the corporate mega-stores, but what they have is just fine for people who love browsing for books. I wish there were more of these independent bookstores left.
I save about $50 on a $100 order every time I go there.
PROS: huge, better than any chain store, cozy
CONS:

Vastly improved since my last visit a few years ago. Seattle's best kept secrert is back. The customer service was great; knowledgeable staff and not nearly as pretentious as at competing stores. The store looks different but it's full of treasures. Even though the prices were the best I've seen in the country I found so much that I had to leave a few gems behind. The staff did make it easier on my wallet with their willingness to wheel & deal. Highly recommended, a record hunt in Seattle is not complete with out a visit to this U district institution. Don't forget to bring in your old items for a great trade in deal.
Pros: helpful staff, great prices, fair trade ins
