Children's boutiques in Seattle
Seattle spreads its little shops out. The north end carries the most — four between Greenwood and Ballard, from Snapdoodle Toys & Games on N 85th Street to The Secret Garden Bookshop on NW Market. West Seattle keeps two side by side on California Avenue SW, Capitol Hill and Leschi have one each, and two more sit over the water on the Eastside, in Issaquah and Kirkland. Ten in all, half of them selling secondhand — each one hand-checked, never a paid placement.

Good to know
Where are the best children's boutiques and toy stores in Seattle?
Seattle's independent children's shops do not sit in one district. The largest cluster is in the north end — Greenwood and Ballard hold four between them, including Snapdoodle Toys & Games on N 85th Street and The Secret Garden Bookshop on NW Market Street. West Seattle has two next door to each other on California Avenue SW, and Capitol Hill and Leschi have one each. Every shop in this guide is hand-checked.
How many independent children's shops does Little Lamb list in Seattle?
Ten listings across seven neighborhoods, two of which are over on the Eastside in Issaquah and Kirkland. Listings come from public sources and our own checking — we don't take payment for placement, and we add more as we find them.
Which Seattle shops sell children's clothes secondhand?
Five of the ten: Sugarlump in Leschi, Childish Things on Holman Road NW, Kyms Kiddy Corner on Greenwood Avenue N — which sells new and used side by side — and both Eastside stores of Small Threads for Kids. The rest are toy shops, a bookshop and two children's boutiques.
