Bright, organized, and dangerous for your wallet - constant turnover in new-arrivals and a strong local/Pacific Northwest style section.
Bring time and a tote - rows of used vinyl with carts rolling out constantly. Best for staples and cheap, weird flyers.
Floor-to-ceiling used vinyl with fair grading and pricing - a 'grab a basket' kind of stop for used-first diggers.
Tight footprint and dialed curation - quality over quantity with staff who know the stories behind the records. Great for upgrading classics without condition roulette.
