I was impressed by the special editions they carried and was impressed by their reasonable pricing. My favorite part was seeing all the local authors featured! We have a lot of literary talent in the PNW and it's even better when purchased from a local bookstore. Come when you have plenty of time! I had to rush a bit because I was fitting it in while in the area and I could spend hours here. Each genre is filled with options and there are so, so many. Great service, the staff is really friendly and welcoming.

What attracted me to this bookstore is the fact I saw Bluey on the display. I then came in…read morerealizing this was a bookstore. I usually don't go to bookstore, but I thought this place was actually very neat with all the selections that were available on that day. The upstairs is for children's books, but I really had to dig 'round in the different bins for Peppa Pig as the bookstore manager confirmed Bluey is a more popular character right now because I made a comment that Bluey was everywhere and had its own little display section around the store. Anyway, I was able to walk out with one book for myself to read and other books (Peppa Pig and Bluey) for my daughter to read. Oh, this place sells new and gently used books. You can trade in your old books for store credits from what I remember from my conversation with the store manager. It's a neat store to check out books in my opinion as it isn't overwhelmingly huge like Barnes & Noble. It's cute and quaint. I was rather shocked with the foot traffic that the store was receiving on that Friday morning.

King's is an absolutely lovely bookstore! I was hoping to pick up a couple of books used, but alas,…read morethey only had them new and one needed to be ordered. The employee was super friendly and even took a minute to look in a to-be-sorted pile just to make sure that they really didn't have what I wanted. The best part of the store?

Great knowledgeable bookstore clerk, I walked in and asked for what book I was looking for, albeit…read morethey didn't have it. But she took me straight to the section where it would be. Everything was amusingly organized. All the featured newer books are upfront when you walk in. All the prices of the books are inside the book written in pencil on the first page. Not too pricey from what I saw. I spent a good $20 and was happy with my purchase and supporting small business. I was informed also of their trading policies for books and puzzles. Which I think is delightful. Cheers to more reading this year!

The special order came in a few days ago which is going to prompt a return visit and perhaps even additional books to purchase. Looking forward to continuing being a customer at this lovely bookstore!

I appreciated that the different staff members had various books that they recommended highlighted throughout the shop. Service was great as I was greeted immediately and offered help while I was there (but not in a pushy/annoying way).
