Gargoyles Statuary

Super fun little shop on the Ave. Small, but absolutely packed with esoteric/​witchy/​creepy things ranging from handmade jewelry, art, décor, clothing, incense, etc. I didn’t love everything in the store but I loved a lot and they definitely have things that will appeal to everyone into «this kind of thing». They have skulls! Didn’t know where to get them locally before now, and we were particularly impressed by a skull in the back that was covered with kyanite (for the not unreasonable price of $ 300). Tons of offerings, really, and lots of really lovely décor items that will really provide a certain atmosphere to your space. The staff are super nice, we came in a few minutes before closing and they let us look around until we were finished while offering up information on various things they had for sale.

If you’re looking for the strange, unusual or (of course) a gargoyle, you have found the perfect place.
My BFF told me he loved this place and took me in. They have every size and type of gargoyle you could want from super tiny to very large. They also have a lot of art, shirts, jewelry, Egyptian things, and pagan items.
Don’t bring kids in here because there are a lot of things that are fragile or could easily be knocked over.
If I wasn’t in an apartment and had a yard or balcony, I’d get a dude to guard the place.
This store screams Seattle to me.

cool store with statues, skulls, gothic stuff, candles, pictures, jewelry some t shirts, miscellaneous stuff, local artists stuff. prices are moderate, some of the pictures and prints were a little pricy, like $ 40 for a 12“x12″ print. I got some cool $ 3 cards, and 2 T-​shirts.

I’ve been gift shopping here for more than a decade. It’s dark, and there’s so much to see that it’s difficult to take it all in. Lots of demons, devils and skulls, which are not my thing, but you can also find the Green Man, Buddha, and other beings that don’t symbolize death and evil. Pagan artifacts abound, prices are reasonable, and they’ll gift wrap. The incense that’s usually in the air is a turn off and it’s not super clean, but the merchandise is well curated, turns over, and there’s always something of interest in stock if you’re into this sort of tzotchkes.

My favorite shop for pagan/​gothic decorations. They have everything from candles and incense to t-​shirts, jewelry, cats, demons, and enough Egyptian, and pagan gods and goddesses to turn your living room into a temple. The place is just full of atmosphere, and the people working there have always been friendly.
I paid a return visit recently after a hiatus of a couple of years, and was thrilled to find the store still there. I definitely plan to become a regular customer again.

Absolutely love this place! Amazing product selection, ambiance, and love that they support a lot of locals either through gallery openings or stocking their crafts. And the staff is beyond fantastic. Did I say I love it here? Definitely recommended!

I love this shop! I love the people who work here and the owner is amazing. Definitely among my favorite places in Seattle to look in and see if new items have arrived!

This is one place I definitely MISS! Truly a fantastic store. Awesome candles, statues, art pieces, shirts, incense, jewelry, yummy lip balms :) They showcase local artists and have special events too. Owner and staff are very sweet and helpful.
They even do shipping for out of state folks. A hidden gem!

This place is an amazing hidden gem. They carry a lot of locally made art and jewelry thats very reasonably priced. Both the owner and the other gentleman are super helpful, kind, and seem to really care about customer satisfaction.

I can not say enough positive things about this place. It’s really become an actual outing for my fiancé to go to this place. We love walking around and browsing all the oddities.
The customer service is beyond amazing. We once asked to be put on their calling list about specific products and low and behold — we actually got calls. How amazing is that? Thank you so much for a wonderful store — a true gem for the occult and amazingly fantastic service!!!

So amazing. I love this store and the staff is always warm, welcoming and helpful. So great!

I love this store. It’s a very unique place for being on the ave. I haven’t bought anything here but the stuff I saw was cool. The people that work here are nice. I really like the dead leaves on the ground! Although it looks pretty goth and whatnot, I think most people would enjoy going in here and just browsing. It’s calming somehow!

This place is like no other!!! You will definitely find something you like here. Renee Aceves Also kicks ass!!! Gail is also a sweetheart along with her entire staff… I suggest this place for sure. Great art!

This place is fun and has some really kooky stuff. It has the obligatory overpowering smell of incense that any «goth» knick-​knack shop has, I guess. Most of their stuff is pretty chintzy and dumb, the kind of stuff that I would have liked back when I was 13 and running around in white-​out face paint and too much eyeliner. Not really a lot of stuff for grown-​ups, but every once in a while I find something truly morbid, twisted, or just downright cool. I like the fact that they have stuff by local artists — there were a collection of light-​switch plates that I adored, all different, all done by a local artist. I had one for a long time and loved it to death… gonna need some more of those.
The pricing is a little outrageous. Unless you’re getting something from a local artist, you’d be better off checking to make sure it isn’t half as much online.

I love the collection of statuary they have on display for sale here. I started collecting statues of dragons and bought a few here. It’s a dark, mystical store inhabited by what appear to be wiccans. This is truly an interesting store to visit and browse. I love it.

I really and truly love this store! As the name of the store implies they have plenty of Gargoyle Statuary everywhere! They have so many other goth and dark merchandise as well!
There were a number of things that really caught my eye here and just shopping here once I know for sure that I will become a regular here!
Here is what caught my eye:
1) They have a small but simply amazing selection of Steampunk hats! I mean you could tell that these hats were made locally or by someone that handmade them! They were incredibly unique and had an impressive tailored touch which makes them one of a kind!
2) There were adorable little Christmas ornaments in red and gold that were hand painted by a local artist which had black cats, bats and other things. Really a perfect ornament if you do Halloween decorative trees!
3) The assortment of t-​shirts are fantastic! They have lots of shirts with monsters, zombies and Day of the Dead skeletons!
4) The greeting cards here are wonderful! Really unique and beautiful! I am sure you can get a card for a friend that no one else will get for them unless they shop here!
I bought a couple of different things. I bought some vinyl record art. I believe it was painted in oil and I bought two vinyl records with portraits of Edgar Allen Poe and the Bride of the Monster. I also bought a zombie t-​shirt.
A great deal of Gargoyles merchandise is made by local artists which is great! All three items I bought were created locally!
They have a small display area in the back where they have canvas and wall art for sale. Sometimes they have a social event where you can meet the local artists that made them! Just such an event was coming soon while I was there and the main theme was werewolves!
At the front of the store in a corner there is also someone that gives customers tarot card or palm readings. Very cool!
The place has tons of merchandise that I may have overlooked that would enthrall me which is why I MUST keep going back! Lol! That and I am sure that new merchandise is always on its way. Prices on the merchandise seem very reasonable to me!
The owners are extremely pleasant to talk with and they are very knowledgeable!
Definitely an awesome ‘creepy’ cool place all the way from their fairy ornaments hung high to the dead leaves on the floor!
I will indeed be supporting this local business whenever I am in the U District. I give my highest possible recommendation to those who love goth, gargoyles, monsters, witches and fairies!

Got some really cool stuff in there. As soon as you walk in you get a strong feeling of warmth.

The first time I came in here was about a year ago around Halloween; I was killing some time and wandered in because it looked interesting. I didn’t buy anything, but I remember being impressed by the fact that they actually had people going out to get more leaves to spread on the floor. Adds a nice touch to the atmosphere, which to me is just enchanting; I never was goth, specifically, but I do have somewhat of a macabre aesthetic.
Not everything here is something I’d actually buy for my house, but it’s all fun to look at and I always have great conversation with the employees. Up until recently I didn’t have a steady job, so I haven’t bought much there, but now that I have an income it’ll be hard to stay out!

I might not be a witch. But this place is extremely addicting! I absolutely LOVE the pendants here-​they are RIDICULOUSLY so unique &worth wearing.
The people who work here are extremely genuine!
Their scented oils, perfumes, are very neat too. It all smells so yummy &like a Wonderland. However, don’t expect to see a lot of Fairy Tale stuff cuz’ most of the stuff is in the dark side. Hey! It’s still neat!
Walking on the Ave in the U District trying to kill time… what’s a better way? How about shop!

Have you ever needed a gargoyle but you had trouble finding one? Well look no further! There’s an entire store dedicated to these creatures! Cute, scary, big or small — they have them all! Literally.
I walked in here one day while in the area and found myself totally in love! The Notre Dame has nothing on this place! You can get fountains, skeletons, jewelry, incense, and gargoyles galore!
The owners were very pleasant and the store was very neatly laid out. Maybe not a good spot to bring kids in case they’ll knock things over. Oh — and don’t come if you need to pee because they have lots of fountains and water displays to remind you it’s ‘time to go.‘
My favorite piece was an adorable little wide eyed bunny rabbit with vampire fangs. As soon as I live somewhere that has a balcony, I know what to decorate it with!

This spot is… pretty funky. I’m not sure what to think of it and I rarely go there because I don’t ever really want much of what they have to offer.
On the day of my last visit, however, I was headed to a friend’s birthday party and I knew he would enjoy something from this store.
The customer service was a little… funny. The regular employee was very on top of things and great with suggestions. I actually ended up buying the item he showed me when we started talking. The new trainee was way over-​eager and I felt like he tried to sell me whatever his eyes fell on first. Ah, well… new employee is a new employee. And he seemed to dig the stuff he was selling, so I think he was in the right place.
Over all… they have some neat things. Some jewelry, some statues, most are decorative items, cool candles, etc. Lots of dark-​ish and new agey type stuff. Some shiny point things. Not a place I’d generally find myself, but it’s cool.
Oh and the friend liked what I got him, so I’m happy!

I love this little place — it’s great for finding gifts. It is very relaxing and cozy with a welcoming feel. There are knick-​knacks and statues tucked into every corner and there will never be the same selection twice. There are also displays of local art, jewelry, candles, incense, all kinds of fun stuff. The owner is very nice and friendly and fun to chat with.
