History
Established in 1993.
Merryweather Books is the new evolution of Leisure Books which has been operating in the West Seattle junction for over 20 years. Former employee Mark Clark purchased the business in 2012. We are trying to keep the same great «small bookstore» feel while adding some extra features. Come check us out.
Meet the Business Owner
Mary C.
Business Owner
Mary has had a life-long love affair with books. She is the daughter of a scholastic family, her father was Chair of English Dept. at U-Mass and her big sister currently a English Professor at St. Mary’s, so books have always been an important part of her life. Owning a bookstore has always been one of her personal goals. Having worked at Leisure Books on-and-off over the decades she was pleased to purchase the business when the previous owner decided it was time to sell. She is working hard, and hopes Merryweather Books will continue to be a fixture in the West Seattle Junction for decades to come.
