Seattle Independent Bookstore Days (SIBD) begins. BookTree Kirkland is proud to be one of the 29 participating stores celebrating our wonderful independent bookstore community.

Seattle Independent Bookstore Days (SIBD) has come to mean a great deal to all of us working in the Seattle bookstore community, and we’re glad to say that the Seattle-area indie bookstores are once again celebrating Indie Bookstore Day with the popular Bookstore Day Passport Challenge this year. The challenge is for local book (and bookstore) lovers to visit all 29 participating Seattle-area independent bookstores, and, as in the past few years, they will have ten days to complete the challenge.

Independent Bookstore Day is on Saturday, April 26, and the challenge must be completed by Monday, May 5.

Book fanatics who complete the challenge will receive a Bookstore Day Champion Stamp Card, good for a one-time 25% discount at each participating store and valid until April 24, 2026.

We are also offering an intermediate reward: those who don’t complete the full challenge but get their passport stamped at at least five participating stores during the ten-day period will receive a single 25%-off coupon, good at any of the participating stores.

We are grateful for the support our bookstores receive. The Seattle area independent bookstore community continues to thrive because of you.

Thank YOU….
