  This store is just really dirty. The glass at the front of the store looks smeared with oil and like it hasn't been cleaned in I don't know how long. The air inside feels closed and stale. The rug and chairs which are hard as hell looks the same way and their inventory is really lackluster. I was in this store a few times over the last month and didn't see items moving off the shelves. Their employees spend more time talking to each other than working and their wait times to process books are just off the chart bad to the point that it isn't worth it. The one positive is that most of the employees at this location are pretty decent and not stuck up ahs like in Redmond but other than that, HPB has really fallen off a cliff, just like Target, also known as Garbet. The HPB in north Lynnwood is probably one of the nicest in the area but this store, their Tukwila one, is really a dump. What it resembles most is a dirty Value Village thrift store. LOL but true!

  Neona on the phone was very helpful and happy to help answer some questions! Love coming in here every month or so just to see what’s refreshed on their shelves. Never bored at this store :)

  Pretty great place, I'll say. Nice array of different books, casual-looking appearance, nice staff, all that. As an artist and author, I will gladly come back one day!

  Love this place! Literally costs just as much to rent a movie online as it does to go buy a used copy here.

  Seriously my favorite bookstore in the area. The staff are so nice if you need anything but they also respect your space if you're just there to browse. They have such a nice selection and it is always nicely organized
