Record Stores in Washington

Washington state has produced some of the most influential music of the last fifty years, and its record stores reflect that heritage. Seattle is the anchor, with shops that carry deep rock, indie, and hip-hop selections shaped by the city's musical legacy. The broader state adds university towns and mid-sized cities with their own specialist shops. Washington stores are known for knowledgeable staff, quality used vinyl, and a collector community that takes its music seriously without taking itself too seriously.
