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

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.
