Double Jump Video Games. You should check them out. They also have a KZread channel.

Love me my Uwajimaya. Fun tour vid! I like how you also cover a few locales along with the stores.

I'm from Malaysia. Hopefully, once I'm fully vaccinated, I get to go to Seattle next year. Not only for the games, but for Seattle's rich alternative rock history, plus it's legendary coffee.

DoubleJump video games is a great store.

It is so surreal seeing just how many retro gaming stores there are here in our home state. I will definitely be taking some time to check some of these places out!

Hey Jason - mad love for how you support local retail stores - they can certainly use all the help they can get!

love the channel, been watching for a while and you're one of the few channels thats free of drama and hot takes just a passionate gamers talking about games

I really like the fact that you vary your content. Every episode is something different!

always fun to have these virtual trips with metal jesus, from Pakistan so I'm always excited for such rides

Really great overview of the stores love these visits... keep them coming 😬

Thank you for being a big figure in keeping retro alive. Been watching you for years. Ur always awesome man!

Recently got into your channel after un-earthing my original PS2 from 2000 and started a collection of games again - love your channel and I’m learning a lot about other consoles and games I’ve never heard about 🔥 Rock on!

These vids are so informative and so much fun to watch! Thanks MJR :)

Seattle has been a place I've always wanted to visit. Some of these places will be a must for me when I go. Thanks for the list and commentary!

Love seeing my favorite stores getting their much deserved attention! Thank you for supporting our community MJR!!!

I have been struggling last year with myself and had a lot of free time being home from work to recover. I always kind of stayed a gamer but there were periods… Found you on KZread and you reignited my passion for gaming like I was a teenager again. Helped me a lot to find my mojo again. Thanks for your videos and hope to see many more to come . Greetings from the Netherlands

Always love seeing a new video come up from this channel!

Awesome, gonna check some of these out that I didn't know about. Love retro gaming! There are 2 cool ones in downtown Renton too(I saw one on the map you made)! One is next door to the retro arcade.

Another great video thank you for all the time and effort you put into making a high quality informative video together.I love the travel videos.

Thanks for this video, Jason. I just moved to the north Seattle area about a month ago and I haven’t had a chance to explore game shops yet. Have a great weekend everyone.

Excellent info to keep! and thanks for posting the links/info in the description!

Your the man metal Jesus! My love for video games came back pretty much because of your early videos. I’m not a massive collector but I really appreciate retro games and consoles.

You guys have it so good up there! Miami is practically a gaming store desert, so I have to live vicariously through these videos!

Everytime you talk about Seattle. I cry. Tears of joy. You have definitely made it one of my MUST visit locations. Hopefully my fiancee and I can come up with the money to go up there for a few days.

Thank you for this great video. I love these store tour videos. Stuff like this is why I remain a Patreon supporter.

Glad to see Game Over games expanding out of Texas. I live about 5 minutes from the Houston location.

I'm from Spokane, and in all honesty, these retro stores are the only reason I ever go to Seattle. We have NOTHING here in Spokane. Thank you for the video!

Love these kinds of videos and really awesome to see all the stores around to visit, damn i'd have a field-day, every day!

Great video! I'm originally from Tacoma, but have lived in LA the past decade -- so all these spots are new to me. We got some cool retro game stores out here like Game Dude, but it feels like there's far less in comparison to the Seattle-area. I'm planning on checking out the Pink Gorilla locations next time I visit family, and I'll certainly add these recommendations to that future excursion. Thanks! 👍🏿

I was great meeting you a pink gorilla dude! I got a bit nervous but I’ve watched your videos for a couple of years now and they’re great!

Almost skipped over this video thought it looked uninteresting. Man, you never disappoint! I skipped over the “pick-up” videos for years too and then on a whim watched one and was hooked. I must’ve spent an afternoon binge watching them all! Anyway, I need to get my sticky buns up to Seattle! 👍 Video!

Cool video! Really nice to see how it's like in your hometown. Greetings from the Netherlands

Hey Metal Jesus! Long time subscriber here, just wanted to say I love your channel, your videos are always awesome, and Rock on!!!

Great tour. Enjoyed the game stores and extra stops. I live in Austin and was surprised about the Game Over location.

Man your an awesome virtual tour guide for your city, I saw another comment about vacationing in Seattle, and I'm thinking that sounds awesome.

I could spend a week in re-pc!

What a coincidence, I'm on vacation in Seattle right now for a month. Perfect timing for this vid to drop! Lol Metal Jesus you rock!

Another Castle and Pick Gorilla are some of my favorites as well! Cool video!

Thanks man, just moved from California to the Pugent Sound. Loving it here! Good to support our small business for gaming!

Heck yeah, I'm definitely going to be making use of that map! Thanks for the great video!

Awesome episode!! I'm on a road trip next couple of days, in oak harbor now. Will stop at a few stores before I head back to tri cities.

That was really cool, thanks for taking us with you!

I really need to get my butt to Seattle and visit these stores. Glad you are helping out game stores get recognition

I love the arcades! These all look like really good stores. That blue xbox was cool! I've never seen that before

Love your videos and your collection! I’m growing mine myself. We have some retro gaming stores in CT but have to do some traveling some time!

I'd love to see more videos like this from you, even if it's not entirely game related. I've always wanted to visit Seattle and I'm hoping to very soon after I beat cancer!

Man, i love that kind of videos where you take us on a ride through certain (gamestore)-areas. Here in germany Retro Stores or just „normal“ Gamestores are so hard to find. You are lucky if the big cities had even a single one. The most stuff is stocked on ebay. 😁 Many Greetings from germany Take care 👊🏼

Amazing video and amazing recommendations! Even though I live in Toronto, Seattle is definitely on my bucket list to visit! Grunge scene '90 's was the best and still my favorite! My childhood idol is buried there Bruce Lee and Brendon Lee! And now since I have start watching Jason's chanel, love and passion for video games is another reason to visit some stores! Hopefully next year...

Coming back to this list frequently. I'm so glad it's still here a year later

Another castle is my favorite store to go to. Friendly staff and a store full of so much cool stuff. Love it!

🙂 Awesome!! Felt like I just took a road trip to Seattle. Thanks for the tour. ❤ that one thru Phoenix, Arizona too.

Another great video! Thanks, MJR!

Loved this video MJR! I hope you get to come to England one day so we can go video game hunting!!

I love these videos. Seattle looks beautiful.

I love your game hunting video's they are right up my street. Hope to visit Seattle someday.

i loved it, please consider making more videos like this🙏

Definitely want to go to Seattle and check out all these places! If I'm ever heading up there someday, I'll be sure to use this video as a reference point!

I tune into to this channel for the games...but damn the standard of production and editing in this video is fantastic.

Ah I just discovered your channel. Love your material and vibe! Next time I'll consider these spots! What a day to be a hockey fan in Seattle aye bud? Get ready to see a lot of hockey sweaters! Cheers from Canada.

Thank you for mentioning Al’s Music. When I last visited Seattle, I accidentally discovered Al’s after visiting Pink Gorilla in the area. The workers were cool with me and it was awesome to learn one of them is from South San Francisco where I’m from. I visited both Pink Gorilla Games stores. Both were great but especially liked the two workers at the International District because they were very friendly and let me see their recent PS2 trade-ins they got. I was PS2 hunting at the time. Very satisfied with all three stores and would gladly visit again.

Love these videos, MJR. I would love to go to Seattle so I can check out these stores. I wish Houston had these types of stores.

Damn I just left Seattle yesterday! Haha did get to check out the small Pink Gorilla and bought some stuff

Yay more game hunting! My favorite Metal Jesus videos 😁

Thanks for the video! It was a lot of fun!

I'll have to stop in some of them game stores when i go to Seattle for Pax West. Awesome video's as always!

Thank you for finally giving Al’s some love! I live two blocks away and go there all the time for records, video games, and art house/b-movies. Also I know you collect vinyl. Have you been to Neptune Music (right below the Neptune Theater)? It’s like half a block from Pink Gorilla and it’s rad.

My first trip to Seattle was in 2015 as a solo trip for basically hiking, craft beer, vinyl, cds and games. Loved Al's, Zions Gate, Sonic Boom, silver platters, Pink Gorilla and everyday music. What a great city for exploring. Can't wait to go back one day....Cheers from Tampa, Florida.

Loved the video....very informative!

I’m going to Seattle for the first time next month for a friend’s wedding so I’m absolutely going to check some of these out! Great recommendations!

Perfect timing, I'll be visiting at the end of the month!

Another great video MJR! Making me want to go out on another game hunt! 😂

This is actually great video, if I ever visit in downtown Seattle maybe to look at retro gaming stores.😉👍

We have 0 gaming stores in my area! Time to travel around the world and visit Seattle!

This is awesome! Thankyou MJR!

Fantastic video, as someone who lives in PAL land but collects imported NTSC games I would be in heaven visiting somewhere like this! Vacation to Seattle in the future me thinks!

Grew up in Seattle area, and its so cool to see all these places I know! Didnt know our area was known for its retro game stores, or how lucky I am to be near them all!

Great to see MJR giving some support to these great local businesses - especially during this tough times for retail.

I really love what you do. You are very pationate and love to share the passion and help other people to collect. Keep up the great work. Also, do you plan on doing other vinal pick up videos ? I'd love to see other ones
