Palace Jewelry & Loan 1st Ave, Seattle

In the process of a firearm purchase. Yes this is a sketchy block of town and it is for sure a traditional pawn shop, but its only a block from pike place- Initially went to see if they were FFL and I could transfer online purchases to there (which yes they are for $50+ tax), but they had a surprising inventory and ammo - Owner said he would negotiate price, threw in some other perks and I ended up purchasing from there instead of online for about the same price in the end. The three staff members I interacted with were all excellent. Luke has high firearm acumen. I will update this post if any remainder of the purchase experience goes awry...

For an FFL dealer to not know that they can legally release a handgun after the 10 business days clock has run out is ridiculous. Friday at 17:00 they should have called and told me to come pick the firearm up as the time limit expired. Plenty of other FFL dealers would have and do exactly that for handguns.

Perry and his crew are honest and fair, with a great (albeit dry) sense of humor. The bulk of his shop is full of high end guitars, jewelry, camera equipment, pocket knives, and firearms (he is the last FFL in the city, and a great one at that). Really appreciated the hour or so I spent in the store with you and your team while you all helped with my situation.

Bought a gun there and like every one says great service and they gave me a safety gun lock for free been doing business with those guys every since.

The shop where Perry, Zach, and employees remember your name! I've bought four firearms there over the past three years and the staff is knowledgeable and professional. The shop's friendly atmosphere and excellent selection of firearms have made me a repeat customer.

They sell amazing vintage stuff!!! I went here to find some stuff that matches my room theme and there was a lot I couldn’t choose between a lot but in the end I chose a vintage guitar so happy!

The staff are all pleasant and they answer the phone quickly and get done what you need in a timely manner. Also note they are one of the last FFLs in Seattle proper.

Bought an acoustic guitar here. The price was typical for a pawn shop (slightly more expensive than what you would expect). The employee was very friendly and accommodating though. A nice locally owned store in the heart of downtown. These places are disappearing and I like being able to support them. You should check it out.

Told us on the phone it was 27.50 then we drove all the way to Seattle. Get there and they said that tag was the wrong price it’s $100.

Nothing but great experiences buying guns and pocket knives. Have found so many killer deals on knives I have started buying them for cheap, sharpening and adjusting the pivot, get it back to new and gift them to friends! Go dig around for a multitool and/or knife!! remember leatherman, Benchmade And Gerber Have amazing warranty services so don’t be afraid to buy used!!! Been shopping here for 11 years and have loved every trip, even if it’s just to swing by and grab another box of ammo or a mag, just good to see them and support an awesome local business. Edit: moved out of downtown Seattle, I can honestly say this store is the only thing I miss. Much love perry! I’ll stop by whenever I’m in the hood. Hope you guys are well. -Max the butcher
