The guitar store... That's actually the name of it is by far the best store in Seattle Suhr, pea, fender custom shop, and great amps and great pedals.

When i lived there I thought The Guitar Store was a nice addition to town. Good selection of Boogie and G&L and good pedal selection. American Music Bellevue would have one Bogner, if you were lucky, but never a "selection". Good guys there though. Thunder Road in West Seattle had some decent used gear. Missed out on a nice '67 Fender Bassman from there that was a killer price because I was in the middle of moving and couldn't justify any superfluous expense. Guitarville used to be cool but I lost track of them when they moved several years ago. I visited them once in their new location and they had nothing of interest and it was far away enough where I didn't bother going back. Emerald City has some nice used gear but tends to be more high dollar, vintage stuff. They usually have a semi-decent selection of Dr Z. Northwest guitars in Bellevue carries Tom Anderson

I would visit these store but still scour GC's used sections mostly. Kirkland's, where I lived for the last year I was there was a wastleand and I gave up on it.

The Guitar Store is awesome - by far the best store in town. Lots of Mesa and PRS. They also are big Fender and Reverend dealers.
The Guitar Center in Seattle has some decent used gear
Emerald City Guitars has some really nice (and expensive!) vintage stuff. One of the best techs in town as well
Thunder Road has a bunch of vintage stuff as well, priced slightly lower than Emerald City Guitars. Lots of pedals as well
Georgetown Music Store is a small little shop that sometimes has good stuff.

No Suhr dealer in town that I've found. The Guitar Store used to carry them but I think they are down to like one or two at most.

Out of the 5 Guitar Center locations, the Downtown Seattle one has a Platinum room and is alright

The two American Music are not connected with each other in any way. That happened many years ago. They are independent.

Trading Musician usually has some good pedals..... And other stuff. Most stuff there is used.

Used to live up in Sno County and I second the recommendation for Tommy's Music (Everett) for sure! Also, A Sharp Music in Renton is really good and worth the trip. http://asharpmusicco.com/
