Out of all the downtown record stores I've visited, this one is the best: for organization of records (alphabetical - so easy and fast to find what I wanted), for friendliness and helpfulness of staff, and it was the most unpretentious. Loved the vibe. Will definitely recommend to friends. If the shop had cool looking swag I would also buy it. read more

I have been to many vinyl stores and this is the only one that I would highly recommend for a few reasons: the lady at the counter was friendly, the place was clean with no funky smells, and I think k most importantly, the records are in alphabetical order BY VINYL. The owner took the time to go through the last names of the artists and actually place everything in alphabetical order. Such a great concept. No other vinyl store has done this. Kudos to the owner and thank you read more

Excellent small store selection. Not much space but they know what they are doing with their selection. If they don't have it, they will order it for you. Such great service and friendly family business. read more

Great selection at great prices,I always leave with a couple of albums,some I did not know existed.guy behind counterhas a great knowledge.and easy to talk to.this is my Vancouver go to store.i am a collector,so this is not my only store,but top of my list read more

I love this place! It's a small joint but has a decent selection! The owner is always awesome with looking to see if any of my requests are something she can get in and cutting me a deal and a call when it comes in. Chill vibes and room to move around, which is always great. read more

THE BEST SHOP IN PNW. My god the selection in this place is absolutely mint. I come home with my goodies, I listen to all the gems... and REGRET not spending more time in the store. You will get lost in the music as they are always bumping something really good on the tables. The $5-10 mystery packs have BY FAR THE BEST selection in the PNW. By this point I have to stop myself from spending $200 everytime I come through...the selection is just that diverse. For a small shop, the shop owner really has talent. I've never seen anyone with a passion for music like the owner of this store. 10/10 recommendations, and she KNOWS her inventory. I've shot names here and there, and instantly I get a confirmation on its availability. Really cant type enough, the shop has become a highlight if me week. I dont even shop for records in OR anymore, I'd rather drive here. You also typically get a free protective plastic sleeve on the vinyl you buy here...WHICH NO OTHER SHOP IS DOING! Insane service, cant wait to get my shopping list ready for next week! read more

1709 Records - Vinyl Records Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Great selection of records, good location and amazing staff. Very helpful and welcoming! Will be back!

Great selection, friendly and super knowledgeable. Enjoy visiting, browsing and hearing recommendations. Love this local small business.

Great, personable customer service. Amazing selection of oldies and modern. If they don't have it, they can likely order it for you. I found a rare record for half the price it was going for online in PERFECT condition at 1709 records. They sell only the best quality equipment that they themselves use at home. They buy your used vinyl for very reasonable prices if it's in good condition. Thanks Mikki!! read more

I love a good record shop. This shop is small and packed with great selections. The person working was very friendly and made COVID protocols known to everyone that walked in. She also gave everyone a breakdown how their records are organized. We had to leave early to meet friends and couldn't spend a lot of time looking, but will be back! read more

Neat little record shop in the downtown area. This small space is sprinkled with a bit of everything. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and the manager (or owner?) politely offered any assistance I might need. I always have a few selections I'm on the hunt for, but it was hard not to thumb through their ever changing catalog of gems, rare finds, dollar scores and meticulously kept merchandise. I appreciated the notes on most of the used used vinyl (I.e. record condition, sound, etc..) and the pricing was just right for each piece. read more

Love going into this place. Mickie is so knowledgeable about music, has an extensive collection and is so great to talk to. Support local business peeps and get into this place! read more

Friendliest record shop ever. I always make sure I go to them first when I'm after something.

Great local treasure of a record store. Miki grades things like I would grade them - you aren't going to find any crap condition records here. She told me she plays every record through when she buys/prices, as sometimes you can't see small blemishes. I LOVE THIS. You can trust the quality here. Pricing is fair, not really going to find any bargains here - they know what they have. And that's okay, because this small store is carefully curated and the owners are awesome and they have many excellent things here. Recommended!! read more

The times I've been here have been great! When was the last time you saw a still-sealed copy of Lee Michaels' 'Live' album? Needless to say I snatched that up! :-D I'm also pleased they take very careful steps to ensure their customers are comfortable during the age of coronavirus. Their caution is much appreciated. read more

I browsed for about an hour and during that time customers came and went who were on a first name basis with the shop manager. They discussed special orders and held items. I recently asked for help finding a unique record or single and the response I got was, "I sure don't. Sorry about that. Good luck." Given what I observed with regular customers I was a little surprised at how matter-of-fact the response was. read more

The best damn record shop, period. This place is clean, well organized, and filled to the rim with excellent albums. GREAT customer service... down to earth and friendly people. Honestly, the nicest peeps you could possibly give your money to. Prices are very reasonable and they will test play an album for you before you buy it. Every single time I'm in this shop I have a great experience. If you've never been there then what are you waiting for? Seriously, go right now. read more

People that own this place where very knowledgeable and helpful. Bought a used set up and caught husband in their one day and his wife on another, they both guided me through cleaning and changing my stylus and troubleshooting and were very helpful and nice. Good selection too. read more

I loooove this shop! They have a listening station, a great selection of everything. The employee that was there was friendly, nice and answered any questions I had. I found a rare gem by one of Gospel's legends, Vanessa Bell Armstrong. In addition, I got a mint condition copy of Andre Crouch's This Is Another Day. I can't wait to visit again ! read more

Great place with great selections ! Lost my ID and decided to call them and luckily that had it on hold for me. Thanks dudes!

Nice tidy hole-in-the-wall shop. A solid collection of jazz recordings well organized by performer. Quality of recordings are reflected by the prices. The staff is friendly and helpful. A great little place. read more

Vancouver needs more music stores! There's one other around, but they moved and it got worse. Thank goodness 1709 came to town. Very organized, alphabetized, and easy to find everything. Great prices and even better selection. The people that own/work here are so helpful and friendly. There's not much more I can say, it's just an amazing place. read more

Great little record store. Super well taken care of. Great selection and the owners are awesome!

Great shop. Friendly service and a good selection of records, in alphabetical order!!!

Non locals cashing in on newbies to the area. Prices are high and quality is just the same as anywhere else.

Here in Portland visiting and drove over to Vancouver, WA to site see since it's so close and found this awesome record store. The place is clean and well organized. The lady who helped me was great! I got 3 vinyl records for $18. I came out of the store with my soul satisfied with what I found. I definitely recommend if you are here visiting. read more

Seriously one of my favorite places in downtown Vancouver. Atmosphere is cool & clean, records are very well-organized & well taken care of, owners are INCREDIBLY wonderful/friendly/helpful. This shop is such a gem!!! read more

My advice? Start here first. The store is clean, well organized, and all the vinyl is in great condition. Super friendly staff. It really shows how much they care about what they procure. I have been in a couple times, and I always have to limit my visit to my lunch hour or I would easily drain my bank account. I always find stuff I would never see in stores over in Portland. Cheers to spending many more paychecks here! read more

You will not find a more organized, very neat, reasonably priced vinyl record store. In most stores you have to go through every record or at least the entire "letter" section to see if the record you are looking for is in stock, but at 1709 everything is in alphabetical order. It was so easy. The owners are great and every record I looked at was clean and with a sleeve. This store does it right! read more
