Somewhere a dogbytes said, "woofmutt
hey ~ what store?"

Rialto Movie Art in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. Local hipsters and visiting cool kids, take note: Rialto is worth a visit. Their small basement shop has so much swell stuff in it they redefine the word "crammed". Tons of contemporary pop items and some vintage stuff. Lots of TV and movie related items (picked up a Jack Lord postcard for the Tiki bar). A large selection of Funko products (and a display of discontinued Wacky Wobblers). A sprinkling of Tiki things. If you're a Shag fan (someone said a few of you are) you'll want to take out a small loan before visiting as there's something Shag everywhere the eye lands...Lots of stickers, paper stuffs, pins, the Shag condoms*, several styles of Aloha shirts ($60), and so on. (Didn't notice any mugs.) The prices are standard and the owner(s) are real friendly folk.

Rialto Movie Art
81 1/2 Washington Street
(in the Pioneer Square neighborhood)
206-622-5099

Open Wednesday-Sunday 11-4 MAYBE (It took 4 visits during their business hours before I found them actually open). In the block of Washington west (that be towards the sea, maties) of 1st Ave, in a basement shop without a lot of fanfare topside announcing their presence (I'd been planning to go to Rialto for years but never noticed it when in Pioneer Square, so go with intent in mind and address in hand).

*Just kidding. When you see so much Shag at once it seems like it's Shag's world and we just shop in it.
