In Washington: of course you know the great Elliott Bay Books in Seattle, but don't sleep on the other great indies there, like @kingsbooks.bsky.social in Tacoma. They're community centered and focus on queer, BIPOC, and disabled authors. Also: they have two new store kittens! www.kingsbookstore.com
