It was nice stopping into Three Trees Books, an indie bookseller in Burien (3/22/25)…read more Bright and well appointed shelves with books, journals, cards, and other merch. The gentleman at the main counter acknowledges your presence upon entering. I enjoyed wandering around the shop. More like zigzagging because I was trying to decide among which titles caught my attention. The humorous journals and cards elicited some smirks from me. Nice selection of titles in various genres. Even the kiddos will enjoy the children's section. Gift ideas galore. I ended up buying the graphic novel "Woman Life Freedom" edited by Marjane Satrapi. I enjoyed this French-Iranian author's previous work, Persepolis. A perfect purchase for International Women's Month. Highly recommended visit for bibliophiles!

This place is in the heart of downtown Bremerton and is owned and operated by diverse bibliophiles who leave notes all around the shop shelves describing the books! However, you'll find more than books here in a place that has something for ALL ages. There are patches, buttons and stickers tucked all around in nooks and crannies with a wide variety of colors and messages. Also, they have toys, stationary, book accessories and even plants! You need to experience this place to understand the wonder of how lucky we are to have a shop like this in our own Bremerton

Street parking will be your best here and there is a good amount of it around the area. Inside, they have a very spacious setup with books organized nicely by genre. Prices here are very reasonable and their selection is pretty diverse. You could definitely spend a good couple hours here just perusing everything. If you are ever looking for a book in the Seattle area, this spot should be first on your list!

I especially loved the paperbacks outside that are sold on an honor system, which is so great to see - and impressively they were in order by author, which is super rare in paperbacks for sale in that manner.

But on our last trip there we were extremely close and so we decided to duck in and take a look around. It's kind of a small place but it's loaded with books and a nice selection. The section that especially attracted us was the cookbooks. The man minding the shop was very nice and congenial. This shop is nicely tucked away in downtown Gig Harbor and is totally worth taking a peek into to satisfy any book shopping needs you may have... in small businesses and independently owned style.

I came here with nothing in particular in mind, so I'd be open to any gems that came my way…read more The shop is small, so it doesn't feel overwhelming to come in and take a good look at most of their stock. Yet it is also quite full, so there is definitely enough there to choose from. Most of the books are on the older side so there aren't a ton of the trendiest new paperbacks here. I greatly prefer un-trendy old paperbacks, so this is great. The shop is owned by a very, very sweet and friendly couple who want to help you find books on your topics of choice. They are great to chat with and they also pointed me to other local businesses I've been trying to find, like boat rental. They informed me that they are friends with the proprietor of Mostly Books down the street. The other shop has all new books, so they've even worked out the proximity issue without having to be competitors. Totally fitting for a close-knit community like Gig Harbor. Next stop here will include both shops!!!

I was wrong. Its more than a children's bookstore. They have books for all ages, greeting cards, games, and even toys. Each aisle/section is labeled easily for you to know what type of genre you are looking at. When walking in, was greeted immediately. Wasn't busy 30 minutes before close, but there were still a few people in here besides mem There is an abundance amount of books galore. One side is for kids and one side is for adults/young adults.

A sweet, attractive independent bookstore on a beautiful island, where you might meet a handsome stranger, a dastardly murderer, or even a handsome stranger who turns out to be a dastardly murderer. I spent a few hours on Bainbridge Island during a family trip to Seattle, and we enjoyed a leisurely browse at this bookstore. It was well stocked with books of every genre, as well as a strong selection of gifts and toys. My Seattle friend told me Eagle Harbor had carried my book, at least when it first came out, so I forgave them for no longer having it on the shelves six years later. I was very happy to see my friends Kara Loo and Jennifer Young's novel in the romance section. It's their first book, and I think it's a good sign that the store stocks new releases by debut writers. I really just love a good bookstore, and being in Eagle Harbor Book Company made me happy, even as my children demanded I buy them every colorful thing that entered their field of vision. I'd be a regular if I lived on the island. I could rent a space next door and start solving crimes.

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.
