Elliott Bay Book Company
About
Independently owned and founded by Walter Carr in 1973, at 109 Main Street in Pioneer Square, Elliott Bay shifted and expanded, adding an event space for author readings as well as Seattle’s first bookstore café, until 2010, when we relocated to the Capitol Hill neighborhood, adjacent to downtown Seattle. We brought with us the unique selection of books, original cedar shelves and our knowledgeable staff to ensure the same welcoming environment, customer service and selection. The reading events as well as the café have also remained a vital part of our business.
