About Us
Charles Metsker started mapping the Pacific NW in the early 1900s and the name lives on as a retail map store in the heart of downtown in the Pike Place Market. We love to help people plan their next adventure, decorate their walls, or commemorate their trip to Seattle. And we never get tired of hearing (many times a day), “this is the best store ever!” We’re looking for a rockstar part-time sales associate to join our awesome team. This is a summer position for now (April or May through August or September), but could turn into a longer-term position depending on staffing needs.

- Check in inventory
- Help with packaging and shipping orders
- Restock and tidy up as needed
Who You Are
- Passionate about maps and/or geography and customer service
- Motivated self-starter
- A multi-tasker and detail-oriented (it’s easy to get distracted here!)
- Inclusive, positive, creative, and a team player
- Willing to learn on the job and ask questions
- Available some weekend days
- Have the ability to stand for long periods of time and occasionally lift heavy objects
Preferred
- Point-of-Sale experience
