Seattle Independent Bookstore Day is the local home of the national Independent Bookstore Day, a one-day celebration on the last Saturday of April, hosted by independent booksellers for our readers and customers.

Support Madison Books right here in the neighborhood and explore other indie bookshops in the city!

The 2026 Independent Bookstore Day takes place on April 25. This year, the participating Seattle-area booksellers are offering the Bookstore Day Passport Challenge, with ten days to complete the challenge. 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 23, 2027.

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.
