Basically it covers the period from 30's to 60's and if you providence is on your side, you might just find something from the 19th century. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Chic Fremont clothes shop |
3427 Fremont Place North Seattle, WA 98103 United States +1 206 547 1211 |
Like Bliss, its sister shop across the street, this women's clother is friendly and hip, but the emphasis here is on natural fabrics (think hemp) and larger sizes rather than groovy synthetics and fashionably tiny waists. Crinkly silk, furry cashmere and blousy cotton are everywhere. There's also a nice selection of bags, as well as the requisite jewelry/soap/candle collection. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Huge selection |
201 North East 45th Street Seattle, WA 98105 United States +1 206 547 2260 http://www.goldenoldies-record... |
The store isn't much to look at outside, and inside it's downright rustic, with bare wood and cardboard, but the enormous selection of used vinyl records, CDs and cassettes is unparalleled in the area. The store specializes in oldies, but it carries everything from hard rock to country to carnival music and other obscure categories. Prices may seem a little high for used merchandise, but the shop's access to more than 10 million titles means it has (or can find), what you want. Call for branch information.
