Liv Savvy Redmond

Liv Savvy Redmond has become something of a local favorite, and it's easy to understand why once you spend a few minutes inside. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point you toward the friendly crew running the place: Jason the owner, along with Joe, Skyler, and Caleb, all of whom know their stuff and take the time to help without hovering. One regular came in from another shop that didn't have what he was after, found it here, and left calling this his spot in Redmond. That kind of story comes up a lot.

The selection covers vapes and mods, e-liquid and vape juice, disposables, glass pipes and water pipes, and the smoking accessories you'd expect. People who shop here swear by the deep knowledge on the vape side. We've heard about a fellow who walked in with a device in hand and had the exact replacement coil identified from across the room, then got steered toward a couple bottles of vanilla custard ejuice he ended up loving. If you're ever unsure what fits your setup, the team will hunt it down for you.

Prices land fair, often at or below what folks find elsewhere, and the longtime rewards and points program has saved regulars a good bit over the years. The vibe is a big part of the draw here too. Good music, a relaxed lounge area, and a clean, well-lit space make it the kind of place people actually want to hang around in. There's also a non-alcoholic sip-and-paint pottery setup, with an extensive rotation of pieces that go well beyond the usual mugs and plates, holiday and year-round themes both.

More than one person has walked out surprised by how much fun they had painting with friends. Heads up that parking can be a little tight if you're new to the area, but the welcome inside more than makes up for it. Between the selection, the fair pricing, and a team that clearly cares, this is one of the better-regarded smoke shops in Redmond, Washington.
