The Elliott Bay Book Company is the largest, oldest bookstore located in the heart of downtown Seattle, near Pioneer Square. It's so large, so could easily spend a few hours there and not realize it. And if you get hungry while perusing through their literary selections, you can pop on downstairs to their cafe for some refreshments. Kindly leave any unpaid for books upstairs, there are a few good books that live in the café if you feel the need to read and nosh. Another interesting fact about this bookstore is that you can have your wedding here! Many years ago I attended a wedding here and it was perfectly charming!
