Pacific Northwest

Souvenir shopping in Pacific Northwest

  1. A

    Ye Olde Curiosity Shop

    This landmark shop, on Pier 54, now has a lesser sibling, Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe Too – but never mind that. The original shop is where you’ll find cabinets of shrunken heads, piglets in jars and dried puffer fish – not for sale, of course, just for atmosphere. Also not for sale are the famous black diamond, Chief Seattle’s hat, a variety of stalagmites and ‘tites, and some pretty cool fortune-telling machines. The funniest souvenir available for purchase is a Mt St Helens ‘snowglobe’ – instead of snow, it has little gray particles meant to look like ash from the volcano’s eruption.
