    The largest video store on the west coast. Independently owned and staffed by true videophiles, Scarecrow makes movie browsing just downright fun. It's a Seattle destination.

    Amazing store with great collection and organization! One of kind. Since 1988.

    Scary-huge selection, really knowledgeable staff, but a cluttered and confusing store layout despite the signage. Their "featured directors" section is great if you're a film student...

    Bow down at the temple of awesome. Come visit for the sheer entertainment of browsing the Directors section.
  • The Criterion Collection
    The largest independent video store in the U.S. (maybe the world?) remains unmatched in selection, organization and most importantly expertise.

    This place is hands down the best. Weekdays early is the best time to go. A nice mellow atmosphere. Very shoppable.

    Ask for the spicey chai with honey if you want a good pick up at the VHS presso bar!
