Left Bank Books Collective is an anarchist bookstore, founded in 1973, in Seattle, Washington. It is located at 92 Pike Street, in the Corner Market building at Pike Place Market.[1] Its Lonely Planet review states that it "displays zines in español, revolutionary pamphlets, essays by Chomsky and an inherent suspicion of authority."[2]

The store hosts occasional events that are described among the "top 15 things to do this week" or similar reviews in Seattle.[3] It is also a small publisher[4] and it ran an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign in 2014, when it had been operating for 40 years.[5]
