35th North Skateshop,[1] or simply 35th North, is a skate shop in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.
History
Owner Tony Croghan[2] opened 35th North in Seattle's University District in 2001. The business has operated from Pike and 11th since 2003.[3]

Croghan participated in a contest to build DIY skate spots.[4][5] In 2017, the city of Seattle sued 35th North for creating a bowl on Duck Island in Green Lake Park,[6] which the city considers a wildlife habitat.[7] A $30,000 settlement was reached in 2018.[8][9][10]
Reception
The Not for Tourists Guide to Seattle says the shop has a "comprehensive selection of goods for co-ed skaters".[11] In 2018, Tobias Coughlin-Bogue of Curbed Seattle called 35th North Seattle's "main skate shop".[12] Thrasher has described the business as "central Seattle's longest standing core shop".[13] Esther Hershkovits included the business in Red Bull's 2022 list of the city's three best skate shops.[14]
