Seattle day trip/help

[goodbasil]

My daughter wants to do a day trip to Seattle with me in a week or two. Like we used to do before she grew up and got married etc, etc.
So I need the names of a couple of decent used book stores for nautical stuff and a couple of stores with used nautical hardware.
Thanks in advance.

There was a whole thread pertaining to what to do in Seattle for visiting souls, I can't seem to find it. I always mention Hardwick's Hardware, but for nautical stuff I know there are a couple of places for both parts and books, but I cant recall the names. If I can just find that thread it will have all the info...

Second Wave marine consignment store: 3601 Greenwood Ave North. www.secondwave.cc (http://www.secondwave.cc)

I haven't ever been there, but a friend drops in whenever he gets to Seattle. He thinks it's great! But then, he has a motor boat...:D

The Wooden Boat Center on Lake Union used to have a smallish, but nice selection of books for sale. You may have been there a zillion times before, though.

There used to be a great store at the far East-North end of Lake Union that I'd visit whenever I got up there, but that was ten years ago. They specialized in wood boat "stuff".

For used books there is John W's store, "Twice Sold Tales" in the U District
on 45th. He does have a decent nautical library of nautical and boat related stuff there as well as items of more general interest. It's as good a used book store as any in town, and in an interesting corner if the city.

Sea Ocean Books on Stone way. Nothing but nautical books. Boatbuilding to history, you name it, it's there. Cheap to extremely expensive used books. Half my library is from there. I dont go there anymore unless I have a specific thing on my mind. The old dont go to the grocery store hungry trick. I might give a general era with maybe a couple names I'm interested in, the guy has read everything and points me in exactly the right direction.
