The Pacific Northwest Shop is a rather unique gift shop, devoted exclusively to items made by PNW artisans, craftsmen, and small businesses. Besides the usual slug joke items, you'll find Mt St Helens glass, clothing, delicious preserves, t-shirts, and many other items.
The shop is a little narrow in front, but widens out at the back. Five foot tall, nature-crafted water fountains are a special item I have not seen elsewhere, and there are also books, postcards, calendars, and many other items featuring history, photos and artwork of the area. Magnets, keychains, and other items round out the collection.
Definitely a good place to find a unique gift for out of state relatives who want a 'feel' for where you live!

I have been to the Tacoma, WA store several times a to sell my children's clothes. They only seem interested in NAME brand items. They take name brand items in worse condition and give back brand new items (still with tags) that are from Wal Mart, Target. They don't seem to understand that if people are looking in second hand stores it is because they don't care about brand names, they are looking for the lowest price. They price their used name brand clothes higher that what you pay full price for at Wal Mart & Target.

Someone at my office, which is about a block away from this store, said that if it was your anniversary, you could buy anything in the store for your wife and it would be a hit. Not sure if that's true, but they do have a great selection of cards and nice trinkets, etc. And of course the cute corgi to make the visit truly worth it! Great little store that more people should know about!

They have some really cool stuff for really great prices. Name brands at close out. The store is alittle dirty but the savings on toys, make up, food, cloths and other stuff is so great that it does not matte. Some of the poeple who work there are kind of mean but most are nice and friendly... I love going there and finding all the great deals.

I have gotten a lot of intimate apparel here over the years and they have been wonderful. They personally fit you and are very nice and knowledgeable in their products. They are a bit pricey but when you are wanting the perfect fit you have to be willing to pay the price. The hours are not great...they are only open on the weekdays so for people that only get out on the weekend this is not the place for you.

This is the place to go if you are into building model cars and planes. I stepped in here looking for cool little planes or cars for my little one and was sorta disappointed to see that there were a lot of little pieces to put on the model cars but not much of a place for little ones. It would be a great place for those model enthusiasts though. I am not sure about the prices because I didn't bother to look.

More
I just recently found this place the other week and I love it. They are kind of hidden in a business building which keeps the price of the jewelry down. The staff was so nice and friendly and the diamonds were GORGEOUS. I have not purchased anything yet but I have my eye on some items. It's in downtown Tacoma at the same building at the Vault so parking is on the street wherever you can find it. Hours are M-F 9-6 but during peak holiday times they will accommodate you at an appointed time.

I love this water store. The water is great and the prices are good. We pay 8.00 for a card with 4 water bottles on it. The staff fill the water bottles quickly and bring them to your car. The do have a contest they run every month with the water cards but I have yet to win. The hours are great...retail hours and the parking is ample.

More
It's a little bit cramped feeling and there's a distinctive sort of musty smell from all the old books, but it's heaven on earth if you love to get lost in the stacks of old, rare and just plain neat books. If a shiny bookstore with a coffee stand is your idea of bookstore heaven, avoid this place. It will have many of the newest books, but an awful lot of its stock was printed before Barnes met Noble. They also offer top dollar for used books.
