This was such a cute bookstore. They had so many older vintage books. They had 7 cats that live in the store, all of which were rescues. If you’re ever in the area I 10/10 recommended going. Seattle #catsoflemon8 #books #booksotre #vintage #travel #digitaldiary #newlemonintown #res

Traveling to Seattle for a weekend trip? Don’t miss these activities! Eat your way around Pike Place Market , highly recommend doing a food tour here so you can sample more bites! Go to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery , this is better than the original Starbucks location in Pike Place IMO!
