The Seattle Vintage Guide
Our favorite vintage, second hand, and consignment stores in the Emerald City. 18 stores in six neighborhoods – and even more on our Google Maps list.
Eighteen Seattle vintage stores made it into our vintage guide (read below!). On our Google Maps list you can find even more stores: shops selling both new and old clothing and small second hand shops.
We arranged the stores according to the neighborhoods which hopefully helps your navigation. Feel free to send me feedback if you feel something essential is missing from my story or the map!
Capitol Hill
Most of the vintage stores in Capitol Hill are gathered along Pike Street which makes shopping easy and fun; you can just walk from a store to another. But do not forget the Indian Summer vintage store, 20 mins walk to the north from Pike.
Halcyon West
The former Zorro Vintage, one of the newest vintage stores in Seattle, opened in spring 2018. The collection is “less retro and more minimalist, lots of natural materials, no polyester”, describes the owner Leslie Ellis. Spotted some unusual, beautiful 70s suede pieces, beautiful denim, and cute summer shorts. We loved the airy space with its white walls and high ceiling. Bonus points for the cool neon sign saying “go vintage”. Yes to that!

Throwbacks Northwest
Next door to Halcyon West you will find Throwbacks, a store specializing in 80s and 90s urban and pop culture inspired sportswear. If you are looking for a Seahawks or Mariners sports jersey this is your place. The store also hosts pop-ups with local designers. Soon 12 years old and going strong.

Le Frock Vintage
Le Frock collection is an unsual mix of contemporary consigned pieces from locals and true vintage from the 1960s and the decades prior for both women and men. This is your store if you are looking for party or cocktail dresses, jewelry, or Japanese vintage kimonos. The women-owned store has been in business for 28 years already, cheers to that!

Revival Shop Seattle
By selling vintage on eBay for several years, Ashley Busacca built the foundation for what would later become Revival Shop Seattle. The store's collection is a mix of vintage clothing for women and locally made small goods. You can find here everything else except shoes and jeans. The price point for most items is $20-40. I spotted a delightful amount of 70s maxi dresses and skirts. A woolen plaid skirt by Levi’s almost broke my heart.

Indian Summer
This store is some blocks away from the other stores in Capitol Hill but it is really worth the trek! Everything inside this gem of a store is fantastic. Even the shopping windows are genius – you will see! The owner Adria Garcia has a great eye for picking contemporary-looking, exciting vintage pieces in delicious colors you want to wear and eat! Size-inclusive, gender-flexible. This is the store where I did most of my shopping in Seattle.

Sell your Sole
The most fashionable of the stores I visited in Seattle. Tucked inside an industrial building a loft-like space is brimmed with almost-like-new designer clothes and accessories. I spotted new-looking shoes from Céline and Gucci, cute dresses from Simone Rocha, Jill Sander, Comme des Garcons, lots of handbags. Everything is consigned so you can sell your seasonal goodies here too – and never forget to check the sales rack for some bargains.

H. Bailey
Hilary Bailey Burnett has created a concept that should exist in every city of the world: a curated resale boutique for men. She sells “quality menswear that’s a little worn” – selected items that have a nice patina and can last for generations. Lots of suits and jackets, cool denim, sportscoats, cashmere scarves. Amazing customer service!

Only one vintage store from Fremont made it to our list but for even heavier reasons.
Fremont Vintage Mall
Like the name says, this is not a store but a mall! 30 something vendors have filled the labyrinthine space with their treasures. So much fun browsing! Reserve plenty of time to make sure you get to see everything. If you only have time to visit one store in Seattle, make it this one.

Ballard
Ballard is a great destination if you are looking for classic vintage items: 50s dresses, workwear or accessories from the decades past.
Trove Vintage
Founded in 2012, Trove is a nicely curated collection of vintage gems in beautiful colors: fabulous dresses, all kinds of accessories, and also some designer items. In the backroom, a bridal salon operates by appointment. The owners, Cyrena Preszler and Maxine Thomas tell me their customers are 10-85 years old. The store certainly has something for everyone if you love feminine and girly clothing.

Le Merde
I fell in love with Le Merde the minute I saw its shopping windows full of little knick-knacks and treasures. The cutest and loveliest of the vintage stores in Seattle. The founder Debi Boyette used to run an art gallery before opening the store and it shows. Every corner and wall is decorated with instagrammable still lifes. And most of the lovey items are for sale! Oh and the vintage collection – loved it too!

Beats & Bohos
“Countercultural fashion from all eras. Bold prints, and solid neutrals and vintage basics." Strong focus on clothes from the late 60s to 70s, but also 80s to aughts and recently the 1930s-1940s vintage has grown, too. The store hosts a variety of events from art openings and concerts, to self-care lessons, tarot readings, and feminist zine releases. Check out their Instagram for the upcoming events!

I completely lost track of time when browsing the clothes racks at Red Light Vintage & Costume. A huge store with a bit of everything for both boys and girls. “Seattle’s biggest clothing shop since 1996.” Big on costumes.
