Your Trusted Hardware Store in Seattle, WA
Stoneway Hardware was founded in 1986 by five friends in the hardware industry who identified a need for a locally-owned neighborhood hardware store in Seattle, WA. Starting as a 3,000-square-foot hardware mini-mart, we have expanded into a 12,000-square-foot specialty hardware powerhouse. Our commitment to personalized service and community support has been central to our growth. We prioritize expertise in fasteners, plumbing, electrical supplies, organic garden products, and paint, offering tailored solutions for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals. Our team provides expert advice, ensuring customers receive the right tools and materials for their projects.We focus on areas of specialization rather than trying to be everything to everyone, directing customers to trusted local partners when necessary. Our extensive inventory includes hard-to-find items, and we go out of our way to source products our customers need. Customer satisfaction is our priority, with staff trained to explain repairs and product applications. We serve Seattle's Ballard neighborhood and surrounding areas, maintaining a reputation for reliability and quality. Our dedication to the community and specialized hardware expertise has earned us a loyal customer base over decades.

Who needs Home Depot when you have a hardware store like this just down the street. It has everything you'll ever need. You name it, they've got it! Exceptional service. polite and personable, efficient and knowledgeable and the prices are great.

You'll find anything you need there and more from oddball fasteners to fire-starters. From paint to potting soil. They truly have it all. Their employees are knowledgeable and can point you in the right direction. Their prices are great too! You may pay slightly more for some things than the large box store but remember that you're supporting your local hardware store! If we lose Stoneway you'll driving to home depot or lowes and spend an hour walking all over the store trying to find an employee.

Awesome selection, super helpful staff, they were quite busy but made sure to open a register if a line formed. I appreciated the paint guy helping me find a tile drill bit. My one-star ding is that this store seems more expensive (by a couple of dollars on everything) than Lowe's/Home depot) but worth it for the convenience of it being here in Ballard. I'll be back.
