  2. Channel 9 Store

    In the lobby of KCTS TV, this cool shop is filled with educational videos and games that educate as much as they entertain. It also benefits public broadcasting.

  3. Crypt

    A cheesy but fun place to browse, the Crypt sells clubwear, leather and novelties for folks just slightly too grown-up to buy them elsewhere.

  4. 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 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 some cool fortune-telling machines. A Mt. St. Helens 'snowglobe' for sale has 'ash' for snow.
