This is the perfect Seattle bookstore. The wooden floors creak just a little bit when you walk, there are all sort of nooks, crannies, and lofts to lose yourself in, and best of all there's not only a huge cookbook section, but there's an entire WALL of vegetarian cookbooks. I've also noticed that Elliot Bay has some used books for sale, right along side the new books. There's also a cafe downstairs, though it's not open as late as the bookstore proper.
