Located in Capitol Hill, The Elliott Bay Book Company is served by the #2 bus, and is close to the #10 bus stop.

Street Parking is available in the area.

Please see The Elliott Bay Book Company website for more details.

The Readings Room is located below ground level. There is an elevator at the front of the store, to the right of the front steps, that takes riders down to the level where they can access the event space.

For any attendees who wish to use it, there is a doorbell by the elevator that when rung buzzes at the front counter. This will alert an Elliott Bay staff member, who will come outside to call up the elevator and to meet riders below so they can guide them to the Readings Room.

If you would like to notify Elliott Bay ahead of time that you’ll need access to the elevator, please call the store at 206-624-6600 to let them know your arrival time.

For those event attendees who don’t plan to use the elevator, please note that we have five steps at the front of the store leading up to our front door. Once you access the store, you’ll need to walk to the back of the main floor, approximately 55 feet. There, you’ll find a staircase with eighteen steps leading down to the event space.
