Seattle S/M Resources List
Seattle S/M Resources List
http://www.halcyon.com/elf/seattle.html (World Wide Web Directory, ~04/1995)
Start with:
C-Space Educational Forum
- PO Box 28021, Seattle WA
- 98118, (206) 292-8764 (New number. Please note!)
- Where the C stands for Consensual. Probably the best resource to start learning about SM in the Puget
Sound area. Pansexual and very helpful. I encourage you to use this resource if you're looking for the S/M
community of Seattle.
Toystores:
Fantasy Unlimited
102 E. Pike Street, Downtown
(206)682-0167
Mon-Sat 10am-9pm, Sun 11am-7pm
A good selection, but price and locale mostly aimed towards higher-income people and tourists. Fantasy
Unlimited caters more towards the Dressing-For-Pleasure crowd than it does players, but it still has a good
collection of restraints and similar equipment.
Toys in Babeland
711 E. Pike Street, Capitol Hill
(206)328-2914
Tues-Sun noon-8pm, closed Mondays
This woman-owned and -operated toystore is probably the most comfortable place anyone, man or
woman, could go to buy a dildo or a sex manual. Although it has a small selection of toys, Toys in
Babeland's strength lies in its extensive collection of silicone dildos along one wall and the equally extensive
collection of sexual literature along the other. Safer sex supplies and lubricants are also available. If you
want a dildo, vibrator or book, stop in here.
The Crypt
1310 E. Union St, Capitol Hill
(206)325-3882
Mon-Thurs 10am-midnight, Fri-Sat 10am-1am, Sun noon-10pm
Probably one of the best toystores in the Seattle Area, The Crypt caters as much to a gay and lesbian
clientele as it does to straight customers. Sex toys, dildos, vibrators share equal floorspace with leather and
latex clothing; toys are relegated to one large wall and lots of stuff hanging overhead. For fashion or lube,
shop here.
SIN
616 E. Pine
(206)329-0324
noon-8pm every day
The displays at SIN are almost exclusively by local artists, and the work is just incredible. Sin also has
those very hard-to-find items, like ritual scalpel holders, gothic-image spreader bars of forged steel, and
chain-mail gloves. They are very willing to take special orders, and will import for you anything you can
point to in a magazine. At cost, of course. SIN also carries Body Circle jewlery, some of the finest piercing
jewlery in the country (It's all I wear) and Marks Floggers, which I think are of better quality than
Heartwoods. And they're *heavier*, too. For S/M toys and latex clothes, Sin should be your first stop.
R& R Books
Bellevue, Eastside
R& D Books is the Eastside's toys store of toy stores. Restraints, floggers, dildos, lube, books,
magazine... R& R has it all. However, like any jack of all trades, it does everything reasonably, but
nothing with any flair or expertise.
