How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Seattle t-shirt and screen printing shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than one built on a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does custom t-shirt printing cost in Seattle?

None of the shops on this page publish a fixed per-shirt price list, and cost depends on order quantity, number of print colours, and whether the job uses screen printing, embroidery, or direct-to-film printing.

Serving all of Seattle

The shops above span South Seattle, Pike Street downtown, and North Seattle near Lake City, with several also offering online ordering. Searching for t-shirt printing near me? Every listing below shows a phone number so you can request a quote directly.

What to ask before you place an order

  • What is the minimum order quantity, and is there a per-shirt price break at higher volumes?
  • Can you handle a rush order, and is there an expedited fee?
  • Do you offer embroidery, screen printing, or both, and which suits my design best?
  • Is a proof or artwork check included before printing begins?
  • What garment brands do you print on, and can I bring my own shirts?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these t-shirt printing shops?

We started from t-shirt printing and screen printing shops in Seattle with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these shops is best for a rush order?

Screenprint Northwest and Thready both have multiple reviews describing successful same-day or next-day rush orders. Seattle Design and Print also accommodates walk-in requests on short notice.

Which shop specialises in embroidery rather than screen printing?

Thready and The Foundry Screen Print and Embroidery Shop both offer dedicated embroidery services alongside screen printing, useful for polos, hats, and branded outerwear.

The bottom line

Seattle Design and Print is the safe default with the deepest track record and fast walk-in service, while Thready is worth calling if embroidery and a long-term business relationship matter most. Whichever you choose, ask about rush-order timelines upfront if your deadline is tight.
