Photo Set: Sub Pop Opens Store at Sea-Tac Airport
Seminal Seattle label Sub Pop Records yesterday celebrated the opening of its new retail store at the Sea-Tac airport. The event featured a full on ribbon-cutting ceremony and a performance from Chad VanGaalen, whose fifth album Shrink Dust just came out on Sub Pop this week.
The store seems like a good idea for a label that’s developed such an iconic brand. In addition to walls of vinyl, the store features loads of branded merchandise including music, apparel, books, special travel items, art and more.
Jim Toohey was there to capture the action in photograph.
The obligatory ribbon cutting
The coolest store ever in a U.S. airport?
Staff were all smiles

Does 12 inch vinyl fit in a roller bag? We hope so.
Neck pillows!
