I visited PacGal the other day with the hopes of purchasing a ring. No one even said hello upon walking in. After looking around for a bit a friendly sales lady was helping me try some on and taking me from one display case to the next and offering me helpful advice on which ring looked better. I was on the verge of making a decision when another of the staff came up to forcefully remind the sales lady that she had to "Go to lunch". She abruptly left, at which point another dour and lifeless looking saleswoman took over and simply waited for me to finish looking at the rings so that she could put them back. It is obvious that they couldn't care less if anyone buys anything at all. They don't seem to have any incentive to make a sale. One got the impression that the employees were simply waiting for the clock to strike closing time so that they could leave. The first lady was helpful and enthused about potentially selling me a ring. I got the impression that the other employees were annoyed that she would even try to sell anything. What a great business model! I like the showroom. There are many beautiful items there. Some of them reasonably priced, some expensive. The selection is great. The service was as if they got people from the department of licensing to work at an antique mall. I don't mean to sound harsh but I simply wouldn't want to buy anything off of a bunch of unfriendly jerks anyway.

The place is huge! Treasure hunt in every corner. Each booth is unique and has tons of vintage items. The prices range a lot as well with some booth being well prices and others over priced. If there is something expensive you like consider making an offer instead of going with the ticketd price.

I have both bought and sold through Pacific Galleries. I noted some of the comments. Like anything you buy, read what has been provided, if any. Do your own research and not blame others for your lack of thoroughness. I decry the move to "mid-century" but buying on the cheap is all the rage; the mall does well and provides choices for all tastes. If you see something, make an offer if you feel it would be appropriate. Have I been stung...you bet but it was my fault for getting excited and not doing my homework. It is a fun place with a wonderful staff. Be positive and enjoy...it makes it as lot more fun.

Lots of cool items from many different vendors. Even if you aren't planning on buying anything, it's a lot of fun to look at some of the stranger stuff. A lot of things seem to be overpriced, but I imagine you can haggle if you were to actually buy something.

I've been coming to Pacific Galleries since 2005, they have great stuff but you have to search for the great prices, dealers are really nice when you happen to catch them stocking their booths and they always work with you on prices. Louise up at the front desk is really friendly and helpful. This is probably the best antique shop in town.

This place is huge! My partner and I stopped in looking for some fun art pieces- there were plenty of options ranging from fun, to strange, to downright spooky. (See photos.) We found a few things we liked but it was near closing so we couldn t linger too long- you could easily spend hours here. We will definitely be back! Give yourself plenty of time to search, and you re bound to find something wonderful here.

Fun eclectic huge antique center in Seattle where you can find anything vintage to antique your heart decides...from just about any era that you collect! Staff is helpful and plentiful....dealers take pride in their spaces...and the prices run from bargain to usually very fair. The mall got hit by a 1-2-3 punch but seems to be bouncing back and filling up with even more great dealers. That punch? A combo of horrible road construction (done), the departure of a huge dealer who had about a quarter of the overall space (gorgeous stuff but priced out of his ever loving mind), and the Covid shut down. Go back and shop...you will be glad you did,

This place is absolutely huge. I walked around for 4 hours to get a good look at every booth. Some of the owners were at their shops if you're lucky and you can chat about where all the stuff came from. Otherwise, you grab a tag from the case or booth to remember the stall number and go up to the front desk to buy something. I was mainly looking for a bridal tiara and a sapphire/blue silver necklace, but found so many more antique hair accessories and brooches I can make into hair accessories, and wasn't lucky on the right necklace for me. The annoying part about every booth being owned by a different person is you can't ask someone to show you to every tiara in the warehouse, as they don't know which ones and the individual owners can change out merchandise every day. So, you look at everything. The joy of antiquing! I found furniture items to be very expensive and mostly jewelry and clothing was pretty reasonably priced. They welcomed picture taking and they have pictures of a lot of the booths online. I personally started treating this place as a museum and art museum. Some of the art was incredible and there was a lot of Seattle specific pieces of history that were interesting to learn from.

It was nice to still see them in business especially with this covid virus has put many of the antique shops out of business.
And Pacific galleries announced they were going on business a long time ago ,so it's nice to see they're still here.

One of my family members was in town and since we enjoy "antique-ing", we headed to Pacific Antiques. What a huge disappointment. It was aisle after aisle of overpriced stuff. We ended up playing the "guess how much this is?" game since nearly everything seemed to be in the $300-$600 range. The front desk staff was incredibly rude at checkout. We will never go back.
