Elliot Bay Book Co is so warm - the wood floors, the old building, the nooks and crannies, being in the middle of Pioneer Square, not to mention the interesting books. It's easy to get lost in there for hours, just browsing, wondering about the people who walked the same floors decades ago. The staff is great - knowledgeable, kind - and happy to give you all the space you want to just hang out and explore.
