For those vistin' Seattle interested in some cool shoppin' here's a coupla places to kinda easily check out on an action packed schedule...

When in Ballard it'sArchie McPhee's fer all yer pop culture nonsense. (Dogbytes claims they're cuttin' back on their Tiki type products, so shop now.) Worth the trip.

A short yet sometimes uneasy drive east is Hawaii General Storewhich has an exceptional collection of quality Hawaiian arts and crafts and shirts and snacks and some yard goods and music and a smatterin' of Tiki ( a few Tiki Farm mugs, etc). (Also: Don't mention yuh came fer the Tiki, they don't like that.) Worth the trip if yuh don't have a nice Hawaii shop in yer neck of the woods.

If yer goin' to the General store, right next door is the Electric Heavyland a music shop/collectible grown up modern art plastic toy sorta place. And next door to it is Comics Dungeon which has comics, of course, and some more of them plastic toys fer grown ups.
