By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Seattle's computer electronics stores split into two very different worlds: big-box stores selling new gear off the shelf, and specialists who trade in used parts, trade-ins and repairs. Together the stores on this page have logged over 5,400 Google reviews, and review counts alone range from 365 up to over 3,000 at the busiest single location.

Short answer: Seattle's most-reviewed computer electronics store is Target at Pike Plaza, at 3.8 stars across 3,094 reviews, though its rating trails the specialists on this list. LaptopScreen.com holds the highest rating at 4.8 across 433 reviews, and RE-PC: Recycled Computers and Peripherals (4.5, 987 reviews) is the deepest-reviewed specialist for used and hard-to-find parts.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the store’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Seattle computer and electronics stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from several hundred reviews is measured differently than a 3.8 from over three thousand. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do computer parts and electronics cost in Seattle? (2026)

Pricing depends entirely on the specific product, new versus used, and brand, and none of the stores above publish fixed rates we can independently verify for this page, so we are not listing a price table here. Compare directly on each retailer’s site or in-store before buying.

Computer and electronics shopping across Seattle

These stores are spread across the Seattle metro, including downtown near Pike Place Market, SoDo, north Seattle and Bellevue. Searching for computer electronics stores near me? Downtown Seattle hosts the biggest concentration of general retail options, while the specialist repair and parts shops sit further from the core.

What to ask before you buy computer electronics

Is the device new, refurbished, or used, and what warranty applies?
Does the store offer repair services if the item has issues later?
Is the part or device compatible with my specific model?
What is the return policy if the item does not work as expected?
If selling or trading in, is the quote firm, or does it depend on in-person inspection?
Does the store offer shipping if I am not local to Seattle?

PayMore in Bellevue specializes in buying, selling and trading electronics for cash on the spot, though reviewers suggest confirming your expected trade-in value before making the trip.

Where can I find used or hard-to-find computer parts in Seattle?

RE-PC has been Seattle’s largest computer recycler since 1994, with the deepest specialist review history on this page for used parts, servers and peripherals.

The bottom line
