The Astoria Hidden Underground Experience is a collection of unusual shops in a basement space by…read moreAstoria's piers and Riverwalk. There are two street entrances. One has the Witches' Brew Coffee and Witches' Supplies window. Take your coffee or tea downstairs, and lounge on antique Victorian sofas while sipping in the large central commons space. The shops do change over time. The anchor is a vintage clothing, home items, and body care store, Weird Sisters Freak Boutique, which has its own social media you can find. It was designed by a theatrical scenery designer. She has made an octopus tentacle, and an amazing tree inside the store, and made the walls and ceiling into a cave! There is a small about 4 foot by 4 foot space with curved free form walls, and painted with the walls, floor and ceiling in deformed black and white checker board. When you enter, music and laser lights are activated; it is the "World's Smallest Disco," for real. Beyond that they are working on a future small speakeasy. The vintage clothing is well curated. Foragers is a store with very reasonably priced locally made cutting boards, all things mushroom, and gift items. There are many mushrooms in the Coast Range, and I had a conversation with the shop person on the high price of mushroom forager baskets. Craftspersons, please provide us some options! There is also a barber shop and a screen printer. They have art shows on the Astoria art walk night. Many of the ground floor businesses in the one story building are art galleries. The Hidden Underground may do events on solar holidays, including a WInter Solstice craft and art event this December. In 2019 I heard about them through my circus friends, but did not make it there, for their Meow Wolf-like "Wonderland Through the Wardrobe." It included costumed actors and plenty of interaction things for children and their Insta companion adults. You can find photos of that on their social media, but it may never recur because it was months of work to produce. Astoria, like the rest of the coast, has many tourist-oriented businesses. There are many antique-y, curio, and curated artisan product stores in Astoria. This one is essential to add to your list to visit. It is a theatrical set. Although Portland (and Austin) are weird, the Underground Experience shames them in a delightful way!

Beginning with a name like Weird Sisters, how can you expect anything other than that?…read more My daughter and I ventured down into the "hidden alley" of shops, where there is an underground tunnel of sorts and it's like a whole different world down there. Weird Sisters has clothing, jewelry, nik-naks, antiques (like a typewriter) and more. The owner was kind and steered us into the other mysterious looking rooms (there is an "entry room" where it's motion activated and lights go off and music plays...really fun!...). The lighting differs from space to space and it's done as if a theatrical stage. Very unique, playful and creative. A humorous and cool experience~!

Since Astoria, the oldest city in Oregon, had a large settlement of Norwegian, Swedish and Finns the influence remains and a visit to Finn Ware really transports you. The vibrant Marimekko floral shopping totes with coordinating face masks had me at hello! Such a sign of the times. They have an assortment of striped shirts in a multitude of colors that just shout Nordic. Large selection of uniquely designed dish towers and dish cloths, I wanted them all! Of course there is a Christmas section with the most charming Santa's and gnomes in traditional red and white. Even a Christmas tree draped in ornaments for sale. Lots of items with colorful fish designed items: mugs, bowls, paper napkins, dish towels, cards. Make sure to check out the various Lutefisk mugs and their funny sayings. Along one of the walls is an assortment of Finnish licorice, Nordic treats, Icelandic chocolate and saltlakrits. We picked up several items for ourselves and Nordic friends. Definitely give yourself time to walk around and check out every nook and corner, there are treasures everywhere! Wish there was a store like this in Portland.
