Long beloved of alienated teenagers in New York, Boston, San Francisco,Toronto and Vancouver, this store has become something of a hipster institution in Seattle as well. If you want shoes with toes sharp enough to stab would-be muggers, or shoes done up in high-quality tooled leather, this is your place. Come on in, pick out a pair, then start stomping.
The Raven's Nest Treasure has been there since 1989. It shelves authentic and rare native art that one would love to display in their homes. Their collection ragens from hand painted toys to sculpted animal bones.
One is struck immediately by the irony of this store's existence. Located right at the busy entrance to Pike Place Market, Seattle's commercial epicenter, it favors a left-leaning selection of titles. The selection includes everything from anthropology to literature and political science. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and the selection is comprehensive within its scope. If you've just arrived from the real Left Bank, you may find that this store goes some way toward soothing any homesickness you may feel.
