In Short Tucked away in this waterfront shop is a collection of weird curios ranging from two mummified bodies (one the bullet-holed body of a prospector) to authentic Ecuadorian shrunken heads. The store and its strange contents have been a waterfront fixture since it opened as a museum of natural wonders in 1899. The few items that remain from that collection provide a quirky backdrop ... more

If you can elbow your way into this waterfront institution, you'll find nearly every inch of space, horizontal and vertical, covered with souvenirs and crafts, both tacky and tasteful (but mostly tacky). Surrounding this merchandise are shrunken heads, a mummy, preserved Siamese twin calves, and many other oddities that have made this one of the most visited shops in Seattle.

Since it's relocation, the shop offers little more than the usual waterfront trinkets found in any town.....oh, and a few pieces of curioso. I wish they did more... more

This shop is one of the highlights of every trip I take down to the waterfront piers in downtown Seattle. What a fun shop! There are all sorts of fun treats, "touristy" souvenirs, and other fun items to take away. This is the perfect place to stop before or after hitting up the aquarium or while strolling along the waterfront. The mummies in the back are such a cool "spooky" treat to behold and ... more
