Twice Sold Tales
Seattle, Washington229 mi / 369 km
Twice Sold Tales is a used and rare bookstore on Harvard Avenue in Capitol Hill, a short walk from Capitol Hill light rail station, known for the rescue cats that live in the shop. Around six resident cats roam the maze of shelves, nooks and reading corners, and visitors can pet them and find them napping among the books. The cats live at the store full time and are not available for adoption. There is no entry fee or booking: the shop is open to everyone every day, and the cats are part of an ordinary visit to browse thousands of secondhand and collectible titles. The store has been trading in Seattle since 1987 and also buys books from the public on weekdays. It is not a cafe, so there is no food or drink, and the cats may be asleep or out of sight at any given time.
