Since WorldLux closed, I don't think so.

There's Silberman Brown stationers. Last I was there (a few years ago) they had not only current stuff but also some restored vintage stuff. Ink too.

University of Washington's bookstore has some lamy, kaweco, and a few higher end pilot pens like the vanishing point and falcon. They also have a good selection of paper and just about every noodlers ink color, as well as pelikan and a few others.

 

There is a stationary store in the main seattle uwajimaya that has a good selection of pens, paper, and inks, mostly japanese retailers though, but this store is genuinely fun to poke through, they have stuff from low end up through some maki-e.

 

Silberman mostly only carries higher end stuff

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

Hope you enjoyed your trip.

I went into Silberman and saw waterman's, montblamcs, and twsbis. They had a couple more brands that I wasn't paying attention to.

I did enjoy - I was mostly up in Bellingham attending my daughters graduation. I also enjoyed no more tuition payments :) , and that she already has a full time job....

 

As usual, there is never enough time when travelling. the only pen related place in Seattle I got to was Kinokuniya Japanese book store - lots of Japanese stationery items, some pens. One of the larger Kinokuniya that I have seen.

I'm currently in Seattle teaching at a writers' workshop and I stopped in Kinokuniya too yesterday. :) I bought anime merch and artbooks but only glanced at the pens. Some of them looked very pretty! Lower-end maki-e, Sailors, Platinums, etc. I didn't indulge because I'd rather save for something different, but it was very cheering to see.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
