ChaseCard TCG

Capitol Hill singles and sealed counter for Magic, Pokemon and Riftbound, plus Warhammer minis, open Friday through Monday on Seattle's Pike Street.

ChaseCard TCG sets up shop on East Pike Street in the middle of Capitol Hill, a neighborhood that already has plenty of game-night energy. This is a compact local game store built around trading cards first, with Magic: The Gathering at the center and Pokemon close behind. If you are looking for a Seattle card shop where you can pick up a single for Friday's deck rather than wade through a big-box aisle, this is the kind of counter worth knowing.

The inventory leans on singles and sealed product. Magic shoppers will find Commander decks and collector boosters alongside loose cards, while Pokemon players can browse singles and packs. Newer games get shelf space too, with Riftbound and Sorcery: Contested Realm in the mix, and the shop's online store mirrors much of what is on the floor through a TCGplayer storefront. A small miniatures section covers Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, along with the supplies needed to build and paint them.

Visit timing is the main thing to plan around. The shop keeps a four-day week: open noon to 7PM on Monday, closed Tuesday through Thursday, then back at noon to 7PM Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That makes weekends the best bet for catching other players and for casual Magic conversation at the counter. Because it is closed midweek, it is worth checking the online inventory first if you are driving in for a specific item.

Parking on Pike can be tight, so transit or a short walk from the Capitol Hill light rail station is often easier. The shop also ships orders, which helps if you live outside the city but want to buy from a local Seattle seller. Bring a binder of spare cards for trade-in conversations, and ask staff about what in-store events are currently running.
