Atomic Genius Records and More - Puyallup, Washington

This shop may be small, but don’t let the size fool you—the selection is fantastic. Whether you’re into classic rock, jazz, punk, metal, or something off the beaten path, there’s a good chance you’ll find something great. The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse without feeling overwhelmed, and there’s a solid mix of new and used records. It’s the kind of place where crate-digging is actually fun, not frustrating. You never know what hidden gems you’ll uncover, which makes each visit exciting.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is the owner. She’s incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about music. She takes the time to chat, share recommendations, and genuinely connect with customers. It’s not just a transaction—it’s an experience. Whether you’re a serious collector or just starting to build your vinyl collection, she makes you feel welcome and appreciated. It’s refreshing to visit a shop where the owner actually cares about music and the people who love it.

Prices are fair, and the inventory is always changing, so there’s a good reason to stop by often. Plus, supporting independent record stores like this is what keeps the vinyl community alive. In a world where streaming dominates, it’s great to see a place that still values the tangible experience of owning and playing records.

If you’re in Puyallup and love records, this spot is a must-visit. You’ll walk in looking for one thing and probably leave with a stack of great finds. Highly recommend checking it out—you won’t be disappointed!

It’s a nice little record shop. Small space, but they have a good selection of popular titles. Light on Jazz, but heavy on Metal and rock. They also have a neat little art gallery in the back of the store.

Excellent shop, and a standout prize for the entire Puyallup area. I'm shocked at the variety, deep cuts, new releases, and value on used records every time I visit. On top of that, friendly staff that fun to talk music with!

Just moved to the area from Denver CO and Houston TX for work and I’ve been looking for a place that sells vinyl. Came across this place when a store next door that I was in, told me about it so I stopped by. I’m glad I did! I found some great vinyl and new artists to listen to because of the owner’s great recommendations. I will be back FOR SURE!!!
