Seattle Book Browsing, Pub Games and a Historic Theater
Seattle's University District bookstore detour starts at Barnes & Noble, with shelves of books, games and gifts. Add campus spaces at the University of Washington, a scheduled performance at Neptune Theatre and pub plates at Fremont's LTD Bar and Grill. These four stops mix literary browsing with a louder change of scene across two neighborhoods.
Barnes & Noble University District stocks a wide selection of books, games and gifts at 4324 University Way Northeast in Seattle. Browse the shelves, or check for upcoming author talks and special pop-up events that bring readers together. Visitors praise the selection and helpful staff.
