Seattle Gay Shops

Bite Society brings together Seattle’s food culture and tattoo-inspired art in a playful shop at Pike Place Market. Founded by Lendy Hensley and partner Katy Carroll, the store offers bold-flavored cookies, chips, and snacks packaged in tins adorned with American flash tattoo designs. Visitors can sample everything from Before Dinner Cookies to Bob’s Nuts, making it a quirky stop for anyone with a taste for snacks with attitude.

Cone & Steiner is Seattle’s modern take on the neighborhood general store, with locations in Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square, and Redmond.

Founded by Dani Cone in 2014 and inspired by her great-grandfather’s 1915 store, it’s a spot where fresh produce, flowers, specialty foods, and everyday staples meet craft beer and wine on tap. Shoppers can grab a hot dog or sandwich to go, pick up snacks and sweets, or linger over a Saturday tasting. It’s a community-focused corner store that blends old-fashioned hospitality with local flavor.

Crystal Lounge by Crystallography Gems is a crystal shop and bar rolled into one, proudly LGBTQ+, woman, and BIPOC-owned. Visitors can browse one of the Northwest’s most diverse mineral collections, discover rare crystals and meteorite specimens, or book a reading with in-house intuitives. The shop also offers sound bowl sessions, artwork by local creatives, and drinks from nearby breweries. Happy hour is from 2 to 5 PM!

Equal parts boutique and community hub, Crystal Lounge celebrates authenticity while inviting everyone to explore crystals in a fresh, welcoming way. 

Eighth Generation is a Native-owned art and lifestyle brand based in downtown Seattle, just steps from Pike Place Market. Owned by the Snoqualmie Tribe, the store partners exclusively with Native artists to create everything from wool blankets and jewelry to textiles made in its Seattle studio.

Founded by artist and activist Louie Gong in 2008, the brand’s Inspired Natives® Project challenges cultural appropriation while supporting Native creators. It’s the first Native-owned company to produce Native-designed wool blankets and remains a leader in contemporary Native design.

WeRise Wines is a wine bar and bottle shop centered on inclusivity and representation. The team curates bottles from underrepresented winemakers, making every glass a celebration of diversity in the wine world. Guests can enjoy a broad by-the-glass menu, share small plates, or pick up bottles to take home.

With its warm, welcoming atmosphere, WeRise has become a gathering spot for wine lovers who value both quality and community.
