ABOUT US
IT’S NOT A PHASE.
IT’S A PLOT ARC.
Like many bookstores, Lost The Plot started as a dream. A desire to share stories that have touched my soul and make connections with those who love to escape within inked pages as much as I do.
But, like others before me, I put off that dream in favor of a more “responsible” career. When I inevitably burnt out from that, I changed gears entirely, flailing around for a few years while simultaneously working toward discovering my purpose.
After some time, I threw up my hands as I realized I’d lost the plot. So I asked myself: what if I dared to dream again?
That’s where Lost The Plot began. Born from a dream of using storytelling to change the world. Brought to life by dedication, hard work, and the ceaseless pull to build a community in a time of so much strife and uncertainty.
Will you join me on this journey?
OUR MISSION
To provide a sanctuary for curious minds to build community, discover new worlds and possibilities, and explore all kinds of stories—all while crafting a better world for those who have fought for centuries to reclaim their voices and power.
OUR VISION
To become Seattle’s most enchanting escape for dreamers, thinkers, and explorers; where every visit is a new chapter, and every book opens a portal to connection, community, and wonder.
