Our Roots

Hello! My name is Ingrid Miller, co-owner of Three Trees Books with my husband Tim Miller. We have been Burien residents since 2018, and happy tiny bookstore owners here since February 2019.  

Three Trees Books is a small independent bookstore, offering a highly-curated collection of brand-new books (no used books) from a variety of genres. Our collection of books is selected to meet our personal reading standards and interests, as well as deliver a truly joyful, easeful browsing experience to all our loyal readers.

We have a growing collection of classic and new children’s books at the back of the shop so kids can page through while the grown-ups browse the rest of the shop.

We also sell a selection of specialty goods, such as locally made ceramic mugs by Laurel Aaronson Ceramics, angry/edgy candles from Virgins on Fire in New Jersey, linen aprons from Lithuania, jewelry from SoulKu, little happy monks from The Suburban Monk, and much more. Our wide selection of journals, candles, toys, and cards changes all the time, so be sure to stop by to check out what's in stock this month!

We firmly believe that servicing your personal reading wants and needs is paramount, so let us know your interests and we’ll order anything for you. You can of course order any title from this website and select free in-store pickup or shipping. 

I get to work at the store on the weekends, and my husband Tim (and to-be-hired PT staff, one day) will be in the store during regular weekday daytime hours. 

Can’t wait to meet you!

Ingrid Miller, 
Owner, Three Trees Books
