I'm so Goth I'm Dead: Going Goth in Seattle
If you are looking to be Goth in Seattle, you already have a leg up on the competition because it gets gloomy as hell out here. If you still need some help, hopefully this guide will be able to aid you in your quest. Hippies are stupid. Especially the ones out there protesting and having people sign worthless petitions. Why freak the establishment when you can sit on a sidewalk displaying the constant idol threat that you might be about to freak them at any moment. You could actually do it man and I swear some day it's really going to happen for you. Acting on it isn't important; keeping them on there toes is. Are you with me?

Victor at Gargoyles has been making custom vampire fang teeth caps for years. I had a pair made when I was in school to go with some colored contacts for Halloween one year. I didn’t realize that there would be a time shortly after where people would wear these on a daily basis.
“Dude! Those kids actually have dentists put those in there mouths surgically, bro!” No, they are just caps people and Marilyn Manson is only wearing a contact to look like David Bowie.

These kicks are called creepers. You can get them at Experience Shoes. If you can’t remember what to look for, remember the word “creep”. These are also great if you have one leg that is shorter than the other.
These shoes also come with “grip fast” soles which are helpful in case you start to move around too fast or athletically. They will remind you to stand in one place or lurk around slower.
Put on your sunscreen kids!
No, this isn’t a prop from Hellraiser. You can actually purchase this at Metro Clothing on Broadway. You can even wear it in public if you really want to.
Get something pierced. You’re probably already going to be hanging out on Broadway anyway so you might as well hit this place up.

“Hey babe. Wouldn’t it be hot if….?
Yes, it would be hot. Open graves are sweet places for making depressing underage love.
Gargoyles Statuary
Gargoyles sells little statues and gargoyles but they also sell all types of other pseudo-“spooky” junk like iron candle stick holders. If you’re looking to cemetery up your apartment, this is the spot.
If you have to get an asymmetrical haircut or something you might as well go to Rudy’s. It’s not a Goth barbershop or anything but a lot of the people have tattoos and it’s pretty hip.

Get your Jack Skellington shirts here kids! Be careful, you don’t want to accidentally wind up wearing something emo.
This is a shoe store, primarily. They sell a lot of Doc Martens, which are always a great fall back if you can’t afford My Chemical Romance style boots with the reinforced shin guards.

This shirt is perfect for a few reasons. The first is obvious….it’s black. The second is that it’s long sleeve so your arms will be blocked from those evil tanning sun rays. It’s important to have a shirt that represents music that represents you. No goth kid is going to ostracize you for liking the Cure and, if they do, 15 other kids are going to turn and attack them instead. (see also Joy Division)
They have a huge costume selection. You should be able to find yourself a cape and maybe even some black nail polish and lipstick.

They have a lot of friends for being goth
“OMG! Where did you find those sweet goth fashions?! You have to tell me!”
It’s just bondage gear but, if you can’t tell the difference, nobody else will be able to either.
It’s a gay bar but they sell bondage gear

The picture above reads:
“Slit Wrists (your doing it wrong)”
I like it because “you’re” is obviously spelled wrong.
I would never seriously encourage anyone to try and commit suicide but it’s not a bad idea to talk about how “serious” you are about going through with it all of the time.
