World Spice Merchants is a shop near Seattle's Pike Place Market, in the U.S. state of Washington.
World Spice Merchants (WSM) is a shop on Western Avenue [1] near Pike Place Market in Seattle's Central Waterfront district. The store stocks cookbooks, curries, herbs, salts, "exotic" seasonings, [2] spices and rubs, [3] as well as teas from around the world. [4] [5] WSM has carried Aleppo pepper, [6] cinnamon, [7] Mayan cocoa, Seattle Salmon Rub, [8] Tellicherry berries, [9] and vanilla beans. [10] Karl Samson's Frommer's Seattle 2011 says, "The shop boasts of having 100 spices from 50 countries." [11] In addition to stocking spices, WSM makes original blends. [12]
Former owner Tony Hill sold the business to longtime employee Amanda Bevill. [13] She is the owner as of 2008. [14]
Bevill and chef Julie Kramis Hearne published World Spice at Home: New Flavors for 75 Favorite Dishes in 2014. [15] [16] [17] Both writers attended an open house at the shop celebrating the book's release. [18]
Fodor's says, "Many of the city's best chefs get their herbs, spices, and salts at this aromatic shop under Pike Place Market." [4] In 2010, Regina Schrambling of Epicurious described the shop as "wondrous". [6] Sunset called the business "our holy grail for spices" which "wows us with a rush of scents worthy of Istanbul's spice bazaar". [19] In his 2012 book Pike Place Market Recipes, Jess Thomson called WSM "a scratch-and-sniff extravaganza for grown-ups, where what you need is ground to order" and recommended browsing the cookbook library.
