Love Ganja Goddess!! TONS of selection and room to actually look at it. NO lines as they have plenty of staff working behind the counters. You can shop. You don't have too look at a menu. I hate when a store wants me to pick out herb off of a worded menu. Seriously? No. Plus, this store feels like what a stoner wants. It's not too bright & sterile like a doctors office. You can look alone or talk to staff if it pleases you. The staff seem knowledgeable & are self users of the products so they can discuss with you on a personal level what they think of a particular strain/growers. I actually feel like they are honest in terms of telling me what they like & don't. I don't want someone just BS'ing me to sell me something. They don't seem like that. The staff seems real legit plus, they are SUPER friendly! I've had many good experiences where i end up chatting WAY longer than I planned out of enjoyment, so good job!

I’m a loyal customer to this specific uncle Ike’s branch! There’s not a time I doubted them and I’ve always walked out satisfied. I recommend Madison’s services to anyone. He’s truly a good one.
Stay baked guys🤧♥️

Great atmosphere, great service, quality bud (and for low prices!). So great to see such a happy, diverse and friendly crowd. 5/5 on all fronts.

Very accessible. The service was phenomenal and the staff was incredibly knowledgeable. Extremely wide variety of everything. I enjoyed looking at the menu before I spoke with one of their staff so I knew what to ask. 5 star experience ALL DAY!

A bit of a hustle in and out of the place and it's difficult to take one's time. Good selection but nothing out of the ordinary for the city. The menu leans toward indicas over sativas and is vast enough that the budtenders can't always remember what they have so know what you want from the menu. decent concentrates selection as well.

No love at/for Uncle Ike's. The "hurry up and buy, now gtfo" vibe, poor selection, and basic lack of knowledge/customer service make this place a serious last resort shop. The overall aesthetic is as uninviting as the staff, and I wasn't a one and done guy, I've been several times and have only been happy with the experience twice. Find another shop. There are plenty of shops in Seattle that will treat you like more than a dollar sign.
**Wanted to give no stars, but that's not a thing, apparently.**

everything about uncle ike's is professional, but delivered with humanity. staff (including id-checkers) are EXTREMELY knowledgable, courteous, patient -- i never felt hurried and i've visited about 12 times, good-tempered, resourceful, and fun. special stars for jay, who has waited on me a few times over the months, but recently really went out of his way to fix an expensive problem i had. he solved the problem swiftly and i appreciated it (and still do). i've tried 2 other pot shops closer to my home, but they don't begin to compare in terms of variety, informed staff or price. (i LOVE that senior discount!!!) see you soon....

Richard and Amanya are the best budtenders they have! Totally chill and full of knowledge. After fighting to get a parking space they are always so nice that I forget about how hard it is to get in this place! More parking would make it 10 times better!! BUT the fight is worth it. Great shop! Great product.

Uncle ikes, definitely the spot to be if you are looking for variety. Tons of different processors, strains, indica's and sativa's, a rainbow of concentrates (oil wax shatter dabs whatever you want to call it). Also a nifty glass shop on the property with some serious names in glass (vor, beerglass, etc), and other headies.

Great variety and good prices.
This place is definitely crowded though. Be prepared to wait and be rushed through.

I was a little nervous when I set out to make my first ever pot purchase, my only prior experience having been occasional hits from friends and a couple brownies.
But my time at Ike's was actually pretty awesome! It was a little intimidating at first, but I just told the budtender that I wanted an edible, didn't want to feel sleepy, and that I was a total noob and probably on the low-tolerance end of things. They recommended I start with something simple like a brownie, and explained everything I needed to know about edibles and how to figure out my tolerance. Super easy, and they didn't seem at all annoyed by my stupid questions.
I've gone back a few times, and have never had a bad experience. I've never seen it as busy as a lot of people say it gets, and I've never felt rushed... guess I'm either lucky or have great timing? Maybe call in and ask what their slow times are if you want a more relaxed atmosphere. I've heard that it's super slow when they open at 8, but haven't had a chance to check it myself.
Nicole has been my budtender a couple times now. She has a lot of love for products that are more naturally processed, and can help you out if that's a concern of yours.

the shop does have a weird little layout where they keep you in a line before you can go up to the counter to check the buds
that being said, they do have menus scattered in the line so you can take a look at what you want before you get to the counter
overall still a speedy trip, even though there were at least 8 people in there while i was there. in and out in 2 mins

Best part about this place is they are open until 1145pm .

Good products and deals but really don't like the atmosphere. Too loud and hectic. But i'll be back when I'm near the stadiums.

Great selection and for a rec shop the prices were very low.

One of the my favorite rec locations in Washington. Great deals on a variety of flower. Friendly budtenders who don't rush you along ... this is the kind of rec store that you use to show people how nice rec stores can be.

This is a tourist spot really. You are herded through a line like cattle and then feel rushed at the counter to make a decision without having time to really browse and see what selection they have. The budtenders are hit and miss. They seem to care more about volume of business over quality of the interaction but it is what it is. The selection is usually decent and they have another building full of paraphernalia in the same parking lot- that's nice and convenient and the staff takes more time with you next door.

Great shop. Actually decent prices compared to other recreational shops in the Northwest. Lots of free parking & great head shop across the parking lot. Super friendly staff.

Store is modern, well lit, and welcoming. A very helpful budtender told me about the different strains they had.
They also have a very good head shop on site.

The first place I ever went to buy recreational pot was here at Ike's and I was very happy with the service. they made me feel very welcomed and the guy behind the counter was helpful and gave me a few very good recommendations on what to buy and he was right! Donation prices were fair and quality was very good. I will be back when I am in the neighborhood!
