Ye Olde Curiosity Shop

Find it: 1001 Alaskan Way, Pier 54

It’s fun to browse the shops and galleries along the waterfront, and the quirkiest of them all is Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. Where else can you see a taxidermy four-legged hen, a walrus skull with three tusks or seven shrunken heads from the Amazon? Ye Olde Curiosity Shop has been hawking curios and souvenirs on the waterfront since 1899, when Seattle was still a city filled with lumberjacks and wannabe gold diggers.

The shop occasionally varies its hours; check the Facebook page for any updates.

Next stop: Ivar’s Fish Bar
