On the Grid : Twice Sold Tales

"Cat labyrinth. You’re like Theseus, but instead of crazy trials and stuff you get to pick out books and pet an ever-increasing number of cats. We still recommend a string for finding your way back out." - Hum Creative

"Watch Your Tale Also known as “the bookstore with the cats,” Twice Sold Tales has a great neon sign that’s worth the visit all by itself. But don’t stop there—go inside and wind your way through the narrow aisles of bookshelves packed with used books. The store is filled with 10,000 books plus an assortment of fluffy, lazy cats with varying degrees of interest in being petted. Twice Sold Tales has locations in Capitol Hill and the University District, with plenty of affordable books perfect for a rainy afternoon’s browsing."

This is where you will find the hardest working felines in Seattle! All those wonderful old books are not to be left unsupervised with the scatter-brained humans that infest the store and all of the book filled nooks and crannies. The store is big land has huge section of used books, ask for assistance to find what you need. They will selectively buy your used books, but don’t leave what was not selected. Also don’t pick up the cats, and only give them water upon request.

For me going to an independent bookstore can be a treat itself. Now, going to an independent bookstore that has shops cats (plu-ral) is a double treat. They are all so cute and have different personalities. The store itself is full of amazing used books in all the topics and if you can't find something or need a recommendation - the staff will help you. Also, try this fun challenge - if you see a cat walking among bookshelves, follow it and buy the book the cat stops by.

Fun used bookstore in Cap Hill with live- in cats. Cats are quite friendly and will play with you. Some allow you to pet them while they snooze. Pepper jack (the orange one), was very entertaining running and jumping with abandon. Mostly reasonable prices on books and they are filled to the brim with them. Would visit again, but make sure you stop to pee elsewhere if you’re driving in from outside of Seattle, no public restroom.

Such a cute and cozy bookstore to explore. Lots of nooks and crannies with all genres of books, and in every corner you’ll probably find a cat bed or tower too! It was fun seeing the cats wander and laze around.

We came looking for a specific Stephan King book. No luck on that front but we did get to see some of the lovely store cats.

One can easily loose oneself for hours in here. Among the cats and myriad of amazing books. You can find gems like this book about Renoir for $20. Highly recommend.

Cats were spotted. Really fun place to search for books and we went on a really quiet time. It was nap time for the cats ❤️✨
