The Business

Very cool selection of indie / underground artists / obscure gems worth seeking out. Definitely worth a visit if you're into vinyl or a music lover in general. Would make regular stops here if I were a local.

I love this record shop. They have so many records by bands/artists you’ve never heard of and that’s a good thing. It makes you discover new music and branch out instead of just listening to what everyone else is listening to and the same old same old. Found a record by a band that I’ve never heard of and now they’re a new favorite band of mine. I also found a couple used records in practically new condition for a low price. Will definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.

I'm a big Microphones and Mount Eerie fan so it was awesome to visit! Picked up some records and they gave me a free record cleaning brush too! Prices were pretty great! I was closeted since I went with the family but they are queer friendly as well! 🙂🌈

The Business is one of a kind. It is an indie music hub and A-town gem. You feel cooler or more evolved just by entering the doors but not in a pretentious way. The owners are very kind and very helpful. If you like independent bookstores or want to dive deep into the local PNW music scene this is a must stop for you when visiting Anacortes, WA. Lots of vinyl but also cds and zines, etc. I just bought the most beautiful tarot card deck there with artwork created by a local artist.

Best record store I've ever been to, hands down. I don't say that lightly. I love Sonic boom and Easy St, and the amoeba stores in California are great. They all have larger selections than the Business, but none of them are as well curated or staffed. The only thing I would change is I wish it were closer to my house! Not really though, as the out-there location is part of the charm. Every record lover and hunter should put this on their bucket list.
