History

Established in 1993.

Pistil Books & News started as an independent neighborhood retail used and new bookstore in 1993 in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. We also carried zines and hosted readings and art shows.

In April of 2001, because of rising overhead costs and the changing nature of the book business, we closed our retail store in order to concentrate on internet sales.
