WA, Seattle, Wide World Books and Maps

About half of this store is dedicated to books and the other half to all things travel related. The majority of the books are travel guides, they have an extensive world wide selection and the staff are all experienced travelers. This is the first place I go to when I start planning a trip. They also have a decent selection of travel memoirs and travel essay type books and journals for recording your own travels.

They also host travel related author events.
