My friend and I took a trip to Friday harbor one weekend. I always love to bring a souvenir or…read moretchotchke for my kiddos and saw Joe Fridays. Although it's not a huge store, they had a big variety of everything from shirts to sweaters to stickers and magnets. The designs were broad and they had a lot of sizes. I have to be honest, the pricing inside the store was a little bit more on the expensive side. And for reference, I usually buy a t-shirt for around $20. But thankfully, the store had several clearance racks and shelves outside of the front of the store. I found extremely reasonably priced and very adorable shirts to bring home. We've had the shirts for almost a year now, and they have lasted very long. The design integrity is solid and the shirts have not shrunk. I'm a happy camper!

Wandered and perused most businesses out of curiosity, wrap up my last few hours, get some walking in before queuing up at the ferry terminal. Most of the time as a solo day tripper, I was largely ignored, treated brusquely, or standoffish. Whatever, just looking people! But when I stopped in Joe Fridays Shirt Company, yes it could scream 'tourist trap', but I wanted to get a souvenir for myself and my son. We usually love hoodies and T shirts from places visited. The counter person was a standout, very welcoming and willing to answer any questions. I ended up scoring on items that were marked down for the season. Nice quality T shirts that also came with baseball caps. Whoever that saleswoman was, sincere gratitude for being a positive, friendly ambassador representing your business and community in Friday Harbor.

Like a cross between fuego and fireworks Seattle people know what these stores are. The biggest downfall of course is prices. We wouldve loved to buy up everything but it was just too much. I get that they have to make a living but t shirts were over thirty dollars. MAgnets were almost ten. stickers were four dollars. I settled for one magnet and one sticker which was 9 dollars. Didnt have a ton of cash at the time. Nice little trinkets and such. Lady working was super nice much like everyone else here.

It's also a handsome place with their various pieces well displayed. I was particularly impressed with their glass wall pieces and some wood boxes by a person on Orcas Island by the name of River Jim. I also thought that the owner was very helpful, especially since I'll probably buy one of River Jim's boxes in the future. Jane Y.'s experience is unfortunate, although a sometimes high shipping/handling charge for often fragile and uniquely shaped artistic objects is more common than not. And it is certainly something I expect and factor into my purchasing decisions. I'm also usually suspicious of Yelp reviews from a profile with no picture and only one pointed posting. I call this a "drive by".
