Description

Interior in 2024

The independent book shop Queen Anne Book Company operates in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood. It is adjacent to Queen Anne Coffee Company,[4] and previously El Diablo Coffee Co.[5][6]

The Seattle Times has said: "The top of Queen Anne Hill is almost like an island apart from the rest of the city, and that's why Queen Anne Book Company feels a little like an island bookstore, stocked with all the escapist novels and dreamy cookbooks that you could ever hope for. The kid's book section is especially well-stocked, and the book club section offers plenty of possibilities for readers in search of inspiration."[7]

History

edit

The shop is owned by Judy and Krijn de Jonge and Janis Segress.[8][9] It has been a sponsor of Queen Anne Little League.[10]
