- Durwood GaffordApril 4, 2010The 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.
Sansa CookDecember 11, 2015Really loved the collection of movies out there. It never disappointed me. Staff is friendly and cooperative.
Reetesh Y.V.November 11, 2023Amazing store with great collection and organization! One of kind. Since 1988.
Jason ZionsNovember 11, 2011Scary-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...- Larissa VidalNovember 19, 2016Bow down at the temple of awesome. Come visit for the sheer entertainment of browsing the Directors section.
- The Criterion CollectionMarch 28, 2011The 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 the staff for a recommendation in any genre and take their advice!
Ask for the spicey chai with honey if you want a good pick up at the VHS presso bar!
Take it from this film nerd: Scarecrow is the best. Now serving coffee??!! What's better than that!
Kendra MorganOctober 31, 2012Y'best come knowing what y'want because they have evvvvverything. Yesterday's most indecisive, nostalgic customers are still here.
Think LocalNovember 24, 2011More proof that local doesn't have to mean small! Come see what the best video store in the US looks like
I love the porn section (and that it's mostly rental).
