Archie McPhees
To describe Archie McPhees as unique would
be an understatement. This is a novelty store
that actually has some quirk to it. Open since
1983 it is a one stop shop for party supplies,
crafts, costumes, miniatures and the weirdest
collection of toys and candy that you've ever
seen. Novelty store staples such as lobster
hands, whoopie cushions, or oversized glasses
can be found but also surprising items
as well like old hardware nuts and bolts,
padding, or a transmission tower beacon.
Plan to spend some time here at this staple
of Seattle weirdness—you can get everything
you never knew you wanted or needed.

Like its neighbor Fremont,
Wallingford is a Mecca for
carefully refurbished character

School, which is now home to a
tasteful assortment of stores and
residences. Meander down the
street and check out some of the
areas unique shops.
