Where to Buy Postcards - USA (online) Maps and Graphic Travel Posters

I have found a couple of places that sell wonderful graphic travel poster style postcards from USA landmarks.

Anderson Design Group has a few different sets for sale for under $1 per card.

Also, Lantern Press has some fantastic cards.  I found a nice selection at the Space Needle Gift Shop in Seattle, WA.  Unfortunately, to buy them online, you have to purchase wholesale quantities.

Here is a fun site that sells unusual USA map cards - Hold the Mustard.  They are based out of Berkeley, CA and sell maps like "The Pessimistic Map" or "The Lover's Map".  Their prices are also pretty good with no minimums.  (N.B. I have not seen these cards, so I do not know about the quality of them).

How to Write an International Address

The Universal Postal Union has a very handy feature on their website.  It allows you to choose the country that you are addressing your letter or postcard to (or package for that matter).  It then displays a pdf specific to addresses in that country!  Fantastic!  click here to use it

Where to buy postcards in Seattle

So far, the best places that I have found to purchase postcards is the newstand at Pike Place Market - at the corner of 1st & Pike.  They have a great selection of view, map, and humor cards at reasonable prices.

The second best place is Juanita Bay Pharmacy (13520 100th Ave NE # 90, Kirkland, WA 98034).  They carry touristy postcards, but also Tom Haseltine postcards which are far superior.

Other places that I have found to have a minimal selection of touristy cards are:  Fred Meyer, Walgreens, Bartells and the newstand at Crossroads mall.

Do you know another place in Seattle to buy postcards?
