about Top Ten Toys:
Inside a nondescript strip-mall lurks the best toy store in North Seattle. Top Ten Toys is easily missed amidst the clamor of the chain stores that surround it, but it shouldn't be.
The store offers high-quality toys for children of all ages. Goody bag doodads, craft kits, lots of art supplies, musical instruments, science sets, children's books, stuffed animals, Playmobil sets, baby toys...you name it, you can find it. The selection of imported sand toys and beach balls is especially nice, and a step above the cheap plastic found at bigger stores. You can find out-of-the-ordinary stuff here, and lots of it. This isn't the place to look for noisy or mass-market toys.
The staff are pleasant and laid-back - kids can play at the Brio and Thomas the Tank Engine play tables, or check out the merchandise, without being given the evil eye.
tips:
Buying a birthday present with no time to spare? The store offers a gift-wrapping table complete with plain white paper, and an assortment of stickers, tape, and ribbon.

This place is the best.......great toys, big selection, reasonable prices. I love going there just as much as my daughter does!
Possibly one of the most unhelpful group of staff you could meet! The staff, dont know whether they do or dont accept credit cards and they couldnt be bothered to make an effort!!! Go top ten!!!
Top ten toys is a great toy store! You can find toys for all ages and many interests, kids can play with the toys set up, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I have shopped there for about 12 years and can always count on finding something educational, interesting and fun - good prices, too.
