Easy street records and cafe is one of the last standing record shops selling vinyl records and…read moreCDs. This is a very popular breakfast place in West Seattle. Now, Easy Street Records and cafe still has the old style charm of open booth seating with every bit of sitting space used. There's always music playing and the staff has the quirkiness you would expect as they're to hold on to an old record shop that remains a popular place in the area. I am typically on the go in the morning, so I call ahead to get the Dolly Parton. The cafe is always accurate about the prep time of the food and the wait is minimal for pickup. The staff greets you with a smile that is believable and works to keep the tradition of the place going. The Dolly Parton is two pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon, and eggs any style. The pancakes are fully, but slightly spongy. The works with the syrup. I always get the scrambles eggs and typically don't get the bacon. The eggs could be cooked with a twist of salt and pepper. I hope Easy Street Records and cafe remain in West Seattle as part of the history and tradition of an old style cafe the rocks with music.

If this place were a tattoo, it would be one of the last tattoos old Seattle decided not to…read morelaser-off in search of a bigger paycheck. It kind of hides in plain sight like a coin tattoo. It's an unassuming place, until you buy some of their records, see some live performances, or grab some tasty diner food. You can "sink" into the atmosphere of this place easily. When family comes to visit, we could spend two hours talking here unbothered. People here wear what they like and act how they like proudly, like an accountant with a face tat. If you live in Seattle and that shocks you, let me remind you I am a Goblin. It feels like what White Center still is, in many ways. Punk, dive-y, affordable, cool. You can eat a hearty breakfast under $50 for two people, which I would say is working class for most Goblins. Any mistake made, they tend to be extremely willing to make it right. There is always music playing and it can get busy, so don't expect silence. I took away one star because no place is perfect for a Goblin.

Their knowledge of their products was really impressive, and a truly good group of people as well.

I had no idea that a place like this existed in Kitsap County, if you care about the way your music or home theater equipment sounds I would definitely recommend you pop in and talk to these guys!

Chris is a master of his craft. His recording studio has been a steady presence in the local community for the better part of two decadea, and over the years he has constantly upgraded his equipment while maintaining extremely reasonable rates. His new studio on Riddell Road features a level of quality that is hard to find in a suburban market such as Kitsap County. Chris is a highly capable audio engineer with a combination of experience and dedication to his craft, which I have personally witnessed while recording many projects with him over the years. He is also very knowledgeable in the music industry and can provide artist development services to young musicians looking to expand their horizons. I highly recommend Boomhouse Studios.

The Martin Jr in stock was hanging with the other guitars was ready to play & she set me up to try it out. They had a good selection Martin accessories including a good assortment of guitar strings including the Martin brand so I also bought a spare set of the Martin LifeSpan Phosphor Bronze Light strings. I was short on time so did not get a chance to fully take in the ambience & experience of Dan & Sara's music store, but reading up on Crossroads before hand on their website & stepping into their store, I felt the warm embrace of some good vibes, and appreciate their community involvement in local music events in this very charming waterfront town. I like contributing to local businesses so I not only walked away with a very nice Martin acoustic electric guitar, it felt rewarding to give back. I hope to explore more of the Washington peninsula & look forward taking more time visiting Port Townsend & Crossroads Music.

The DJ for our wedding was Kitman who did an amazing job. He reached out a few weeks before the wedding to touch base and ensure that everything on the wedding flow, names pronunciation, and our music preferences was filled out. We also had a meeting to discuss everything so that we were all on the same page. At the event, Kitman was lovely and helped ensure the overall reception flowed well from cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He played music that pulled our guests of ages 2 and up to the dance floor and kept everyone engaged. He took requests that made sense and was appropriate for children to hear. All of our wedding guests had fun on the dance floor. He was a pleasure to work with and did a wonderful job as our DJ.
