Tips from locals
Pretty library on UW's campus. Worth a quick stop in to see one of the world's largest books and admire the pretty stained glass.
Suzzallo is possibly the most beautiful building in the city. The reading room on the 3rd floor has super-tall ceilings and the whole building is Gothic style. There's a cafe inside too.
Take the train to UW, walk up the big lawn, go to the Neo-gothic building that looks like a cathedral. Inside, on the top floor, is the Reading Room. Turn off your phone, and don't talk. Not even whispers. People are here to throw down some serious study time, and lots of them are grad students or working on their PhD's, so wait to make noise until you're somewhere else. BUT...if you want to hang around and READ...go ahead! It's a beautiful reading room.
