I love Elliot Bay's huge selection of books, and cozy atmospher. What makes this bookstore great is that the employees actually enjoy reading and are happy to make recommendations or help find what you are looking for.

Located on Capitol Hill, Bailey Coy has always been a source of great new books to read. They have a nice display of new books w/ written recommendations from those on staff that have read them. Even better, they're not your typical mass market releases, they're books from local authors or newer authors that I wouldn't have heard about otherwise.
Some people think they're clever and ask for recommendations only to buy at Amazon where they think they're getting a better deal. Keep it up and Bailey Coy will go the way of the dinosaurs and you'll have nothing to read but Tom Clancy and Ann Coulter.
If you do end up paying $2 extra a book, get over it, b/c Bailey Coy also has a frequent buyers card, which ends up being equivalent to a free book after reading 10. And, if they don't have one in stock they'll order it for you.

They have a great assortment of books and magazines. Better yet, they have UW apparel and coffee shop inside. Text books are always overpriced, but you need them. The staff is great and will help you find what you are looking for. Then shop is 2 stories and is locate in the middle of the ave. All in all, great book store!

More
When I'm downtown, I only watch movies here or at Cinerama; both by AMC. It might be because Pacific Place is newer and therefore nicer than other cinemas. But I love the northwest-themed atmosphere and how unique it feels compared to the typical multiplex one can get used to. For the same price as other theaters, AMC Pacific Place is the preferable choice downtown.
The only downfall is that it won't show ALL new movies coming out. New movies seem to split between here and the Regal Meridian down the street. I always pray that the movie I want to see will be here...rather than at Regal.
Pros: atmosphere, location
Cons: doesn't show all new movies

More
The university book store is one of my favorite seattle books stores. Not only do they have good prices and wide selection of textbooks, their selection of other books is hugely extensive. It's a really nice, relaxing atmosphere (except during the beginning and end of UW quarters). The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, they have really good special events. The husky shop is pretty cool and the people in the media center are helpful. Overall, it's a really great bookstore.
Pros: Great selection, great staff
Cons: parking is a little annoying

This is the grand bookstore of all bookstores in the area. They have everything. Good bargains. Textbooks. I often buy picture framing supplies here, along with stamping and scrapbook supplies for my sister. They have an onsite coffee joint, readings by many authors. Lots of free parking if you buy.

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!

I love this place. I come, browse the books, grab a coffee, and hang out for a while. They have lots of community events here, so check out their calendar - tons of writers groups and book clubs. And they have free wifi and don't glare at you if you sit all day and use it! Plus, you can sell your books back here and make a killing in cash or store credit (the better deal).

I frequent many of the Half Price Books locations and I especially love the fiction section at this location. They also have a great film section. There seems to be aisles and aisles of fiction and you can easily find something you want to read. All paperbacks are half their imprinted price. There is often great deals in their clearance section where you can find books for under $3.
And if you are looking for VHS tapes they have quite a large selection for cheap prices.
