Shout out to all the locals we shopped at! Our favorite was the indigenous owned @irondogbooks in Vancouver, who not only had a great selection, but were informed and passionate with their recs. Big love also to @kingfisherbookstore, where I had a great chat about ecology with a customer and the owner and is the shop I’m now fantasizing about owning when I retire to Whidbey Island. Also on Whidbey, Moonraker, where I picked up some great local history. I absolutely fell in love with Seattle’s @metskermaps, which is mapsof astonishing diversity, and geographically themed books. Seriously, look them up for great gifts. Also in Seattle, huge selection at @elliottbaybookco was the perfect way to while away post-brunch hours downtown. Finally, a great used/rare bookshop in Vancouver is @thepaperhound where I found a ton of unusual finds.”
