Seattle guide

    Seattle Vintage Stores: A Local's Guide

    We've been selling vintage in Seattle since 2010 out of two shops — Pioneer Square and Ballard. This is the guide we give customers who want to make a whole day of it: where to start, what each neighborhood is actually good for, and a printable map for both.

    The two vintage neighborhoods

    Pioneer Square

    Seattle's oldest neighborhood, and the best block-for-block density of records, posters, antiques and heavy denim. Start at our shop on Washington St, loop Occidental Square, finish at the antique malls.

    Ballard

    Ballard Avenue is a landmark district packed with vintage clothing, designer resale and estate finds, plus somewhere to eat every fifty feet. Easiest afternoon of vintage shopping in the city.

    Shopping vintage in extended sizes

    The hardest part of vintage shopping in Seattle is sizing — most racks skip anything above a large. We tag every piece with its measured size so you can filter before you drive across town.

    Questions we get asked

    Which Seattle neighborhood is best for vintage shopping?
    Pioneer Square and Ballard are the two densest vintage neighborhoods in Seattle. Pioneer Square leans records, posters, denim and antiques; Ballard Avenue leans clothing, designer resale and estate finds. Both are walkable in an afternoon and we keep a printable map for each.
    Do Seattle vintage stores carry plus sizes?
    Most do not stock extended sizing consistently. We size-tag every piece and keep a dedicated plus-size vintage page so you can see extended sizing before you make the trip.
    Can I reserve vintage online and pick it up in a Seattle store?
    Yes. Anything on our site can be reserved online and picked up at either the Pioneer Square or Ballard shop — we move pieces between the two stores for pickup.
    How old is Bon Voyage Vintage?
    The real Bon Voyage Vintage has been selling vintage in Seattle since 2010, with brick-and-mortar shops in Pioneer Square and Ballard.
