I agree with gokings and that review was written nearly a year ago. Cellophane Squares staff has not improved their attitude in fact, it has gotten worse. The employees never smile and you are never greeted when you step into the store except when they generate enough energy to tell you that they need to keep your backpack behind the counter. The unfriendly attitude is especially true for the night crew. It makes me sad because I have been shopping at Cellophane Square since 1979 and it used to be the greatest music store in the Northwest. It used to run by a knowledgeable staff that was nearly overeager to share their music awareness. Their attitude was infectious and I would always walk out knowing a little more about music than when I went in. Now, youd be lucky to get a nod from one of the sedate employees.

Pros: decent selection

Cons: unfriendly staff

Insider Tips

When to Go

Frequent in-store appearances make Saturdays a good time to come in and browse the racks, as you may find yourself listening to live indie pop instead of being at the mercy of the counter staff's taste.
