Happy Birthday Elliott Bay!

It was exactly one year ago today that Elliott Bay moved it’s location from Pioneer Square to the wonderful neighborhood of Capitol Hill. This is one of my favorite spots on the hill because it is such a retreat from the rest of the city, but unfortunately, the only time I get to actually enjoy it is in the summer when I have the time. As a one year birthday gift to you all, Elliott Bay is offering a 15% coupon to all of you if you visit between April 14th – April 20th. Sound like a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Snag your coupon here.

Seattle Pinball Museum

The Storefronts Seattle is a community-driven project located in the Pioneer Square and International districts of Seattle that help put life back into empty storefronts. Sometimes they feature art work pieces by local artists or a space for the Seattle Pinball Museum where all you have to do is pay an entry fee to play as many different pinball machines you want until your fingers fall off. You can find the Seattle Pinball Museum on 508 Maynard Ave S until February 28th.

In local Capitol Hill News…

Elliott Bay Book Company will be moving from Pioneer Square to a new location on Capitol Hill.

What exactly does this mean?

The bookstore is scheduled to open around mid-march on “1521 10th Avenue, right next to Oddfellow’s Hall between Pike and Pine.”

It will be about 19,000 square feet and an amazing additon to the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The new location will also feature more parking spaces below the street level and near the store and have a cafe built in! No word yet on if they will be selling used books as well as new books.

For more details, read here for a letter from Peter Aaron, the owner of the Elliott Bay Book Company.
