If you ever get a chance to tour or sail aboard this tall ship do it! "Computer, remove the plank!"

We came here as visiting elk members and the bartender and her friend were rude to us from the…read moremoment we walked in. I ordered a sparkling wine...which confused the bartender so i said "something like cooks" so she brought out a small bottle of prosecco and criticized me as being "fancy" for wanting a glass to pour it in. We said we wanted to play pool and the bartender's friend said she would kick our @ss...so we went back there and found the table that needed quarters to play and moldy food sitting on the tables nearby. Decided to walk outside to vape and a nice senior member walked out to smoke with us...we found out she grew up in the area and she was sharing stories about her family with us, which we were all enjoying...then the bartenders friend came outside and ruined the whole vibe by saying she didn't like us and then made fun of the senior member. Called her out as being a mean person and headed out. Not sure what we did to feel unliked...we were nothing but polite and friendly...my partner was really upset we were treated like that

Built in 1928, the 7th Street Theatre is a local treasure. In its early years, it hosted vaudeville…read moreacts and became the very first theatre in Washington to present "talkies." In 1987, the theatre was successfully listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The interior of the theatre itself is a glorious example of an "atmospheric" theatre. Instead of the bland curtain covered walls of modern theatres, here, you are transported through architectural elements and ornamentation to a Spanish courtyard under an evening sky. Periodically, the theatre presents classic movies. I was able to attend a showing of The Goonies, and while I already have this in my personal movie collection, getting the chance to see it once again on the big screen for the first time since 1985 was too tempting to pass up..."Goonies Never Say Die!" There are fewer than 50 Atmospheric Theatres left in the entire world. If you ever get a chance to attend a movie or live performance at this one, do yourself a favor and go to the show!

I don't know if we just got lucky the day we went but we had the museum to ourselves and towards the middle of our visit the director asked if we had any questions which led to us being given a tour of the place. He truly made it memorable with all of his knowledge. You can tell when someone does their job for the paycheck vs those who love what they do and to me it seemed like Director was truly passionate about the history of the area and each item in the museum. There are many small details throughout the building that make all the difference, for example the homemade doll furniture in the dollhouse upstairs as well as the old spice/seasoning containers in the kitchen cabinet and my favorite- actual Hoquiam and Aberdeen directories from every year. I couldn't believe there were that many Directories still in amazing shape especially seeing how dated they were. He showed us one from 1911 with the Polson family listed! We will visit again whenever we're back in-town to see all of the new updates that are planned for the future! If you love history and the feeling of being transported to the past I think you'd really enjoy this museum.
