What can I say about one of my fave West Seattle shops?
The Horton Heat Hash is the best breakfast item in all of Seattle. The prices on the CDs (new and used) are very good. They are competitive with Amazon.com and NO shipping fees! The staff is fun and hip. The metal section is expansive and not shoved in with the rest of the standard Rock catologue. Coffee is ok but the espresso is better. Hamburgers are quite nice. Just go if you haven't and support local businesses.

Silver Platters is the best of several options in the area to browse for CDs and buy music and movie DVD's and videocassettes. The staff is helpful and even looked up a movie on the web for us when they didn't have it in their catalog. We easily spent an hour or so browsing through their offerings. They have many headphones on which you can samples music offerings. Access is easiest heading south on Southcenter Boulevard.

More
Our family's lives have been forever enriched by the fabulous musical programs available at the Suzuki Institute. Children as young as 4 can begin with a "sing and play" class to familiarize themselves with music sounds, ryhthm, and music theory. These classes are fun games that are interactive and instructional, but children are joyfully engaged and really have no idea that they are learning!
The Institute has many supportive instructors in both piano and strings, who have a passion and patience for teaching children. Kids have two lessons each week, one individual and one group lesson, and several recitals a year. One of our boys had piano instruction for 6 years before moving on to trumpet, our other is in his 6th year of violin. This school does teach children to read music, although I understand that some strict advocates of the "Suzuki method" do not.
There are other organizations like the Music School of the NW, just off Aurora on about 90th, that also have children's music programs. They also might be a good resource for finding teachers in your area. Good for you for helping to bring music into your child's life!

I LOVE coming to this place!! There's a lot of stuff crammed together in a small space and the parking can be difficult, but it's worth coming to check it out if this strikes your interest bone! They have percussion from all over the world - not just the African drums! I also like the fact that they have resources for teachers there (I'm certified to teach music) and instruments for little ones - my nearly 3 year-old has a great collection.

CD Trader is a small store, but I have bought many fantastic records here. They seem to be a little more discriminating in what they offer for sale, so you don't have to wade through junk to find something worthwhile.
But, the best feature here is a computer database that lets you search the store's inventory. The computer tells you if the title is in stock, the price, and where to find it in the store. Fantastic!, and a great time saver. Why don't all used CDs shops offer this service?

Zion's Gate Record's is an awesome record store located a few blocks up from Broadway on E Pike in Capital Hill.
Zion's gate has an excellent selection and specializes in dance hall, dub, and reggae.
This is a huge record store and you can spend days looking and listening through the various vinyl collection. There are two turntables outward facing the front window of the shop so that you can watch people walk by as you sample the large stacks you pull from the shelves.
Zion's gate also stocks some techno, DnB, and House but this is the spot if your looking for Dub or Dancehall.

I've used American Music to rent speakers and a sound system before. They're very knowledgeable about what type of system to rent and the prices are pretty decent.

The great thing about Respect is that they have all the latest mixtapes, from local to national artists, at good, cheap NYC mixtape prices. The regular selection of CDs and vinyl is nice, although you won't really find too many bargains (OK for an indy store).
