If you've ever wanted your life to be slightly more adorable, Robot Vs. Sloth in downtown Seattle…read moreis your place. This little gift shop is packed with irresistibly cute designs by local artist Lauren Rudeck who created the spot as a place to showcase and sell her fun and twee animal art! You can get all sorts of goodies here that feature her original designs, from t-shirts to magnets, stickers, kitchen towels, enamel pins, toys, and all sorts of quirky goodies. Even better, proceeds from sales help support sloth rescue in Costa Rica! This is your chance to buy local and do some good. The gifts here are perfect for anyone on your list. I mean, who wouldn't want a cartoon of a robot fighting a sloth on their fridge or stuck to their laptop? I adore the greeting cards, which make unique notes of cheer for friends and family. Plus, it feels extra nice to support a small local artist while you're snagging a few smiles for yourself or friends. I always come to shop here whenever I'm in Seattle not just to soak up the cuteness, but to buy a few things and leave feeling like the world is a slightly funnier, fluffier place. Warning: you might also leave with more stuff than you intended, but it's totally worth it.

Robot vs. Sloth was one of my favorite discoveries in Seattle. The shop is packed with clever,…read morequirky designs, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was impossible to leave empty-handed! When I got home, I ran into a small issue with one of my purchases, and their team quickly went above and beyond to address the situation. Great products, genuinely kind people, and exactly the kind of small business you hope to stumble across while traveling. Five stars from this happy customer. If this is what happens when robots and sloths join forces, I'm all in. :)

They had my favorite state magnets as well including the map. Prices of the items were comparable to other stores in the area. From the store we bought multiple items. My daughter got a small toy and I bought couple of magnets. The staff members were very friendly. The checkout was quick and easy.

Take your time to browse around as you stumble upon random oddities such as a mummy and shrunken heads! Aside from this unique experience, I'm sure you will find something you like!

Studio Ghibli merch area right upon entering the shop, of course, of course. Decent selection of pens (I got a couple). The second level is dedicated to English-translated manga books as well as anime/video game art books and knick-knacks (sorta all in random assortment.....gotta do some thorough browsing). Since it is a small shop, the aisles are a little cramped. Kinda stuffy too, especially on the second level. Polite staff!

I have been a Kinokuniya Bookstore member for many years and recently renewed my membership while…read morepurchasing 10 books. At the time of purchase, I specifically asked about the return policy and was told that returning books would be "no problem" as long as they remained unopened in their original plastic wrapping. When I later returned to exchange or return three of the books 10 days later, I was told that I could not do so because I did not have my receipt. This requirement was never mentioned when I asked about returns. As a longtime member, my purchase is documented through my membership account, so it is disappointing that this record could not be used to verify the transaction. I find this level of customer service unacceptable. If a receipt is required for returns, customers should be clearly informed of that at the time of purchase, especially when they specifically ask about the return policy.

The Miniature Car Dealer is one of those below ground shops that is worth the effort. It is a small shop but it is jam packed with miniature cars, planes, motorcycles, tanks, limos and all sorts of two, four and multi-wheeled vehicles. As well, a good collection of planes and helicopters. The stuff is far from cheap and it is not inexpensive either. But this is a neat shop for a browse and a purchase as you're exploring the (smaller) road less traveled.

I recently got into the Gundam hobby and thought it was time to check this store out. The interior is small but packed with stock, and a few very impressive display cases containing some great scale models. There were several other customers in the store and the owner/operator had a good report with all of them. He took time to talk with me and answer my questions and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his tips and advice. Hike the store is small it has a very good selection of model lines and models. It even had a few premium boxes which I was excited to see. Beyond the models there was also a very good selection of hobby tools paints and supplies. I will absolutely be coming back here and can't recommend it highly enough.

Then I got a set of smaller plush toys that were also known as sale! They have some shirts, bags, and other accessories! I wish I could buy everything! The attendant was super nice and helpful!

I first met with Nick, the owner, who is incredibly nice. Soon after, he introduced me to Angela, one of his long time associates.

I couldn't be happier with this store.
