Selling gold in Seattle

Local gold buyers, jewelers, and pawn shops in Seattle typically pay 60 to 90% of melt value. Weigh your items yourself first, get at least three quotes, and compare the percentage of melt each offers, not just the dollar total.

The per-gram price is the same nationwide. What you can actually change in Puget Sound is finding who pays the highest % of melt and charges the lowest fees.

Selling gold in Seattle: what Washington law requires

  • A Washington precious metal dealer must see a current government photo ID and keep a copy of it. Source: RCW 19.60.025.
