    If you are looking for a specific book check in at the help counters for the exact location. You can also look for the location on the website. Otherwise, you will not be able to find it!!!

    The book store is about ten blocks from the Amtrak station, useful for planning a way to haul your stash back. Go south to Burnside, right on Burnside until you reach Powell’s. Return the same way, so you’ll not need to take the stairs down from the Broadway Bridge.

    If the staff seem grumpy, don’t take it personally.

    Plan to spend hours at this place, make a day (or afternoon) out of it. If you don’t, you’ll wish you had.

    I got lost. If you go with friends, make a plan to meet up at a certain time or have cell phones. Be sure to get one of their maps. I should have and will next time.

    One of the biggest bookstores west of the Rocky Mountains, this 5 store bookstore takes up one city block. Offering both new and used books, you can find just about anything here and cheap too!!!

    I love to support local businesses!

    I FINALLY MADE IT TO POWELL’S!

    I think I could’ve stayed here forever had my boss not dragged me out. It’s like Disneyland for lit-nerds.

    I could live here if they would let me.
