This is a great place for all your Mount St. Helen Goodies. My friend and I stopped twice bc we…read moredecided we needed something else. The Women that owns the shop was very nice and helpful, telling us best Restaurants, how to get to the Mountain and just overall knowledge of the Mountain itself. Good Prices on merchandise. I highly recommend stopping here on your way to a Magic Adventure.

This is a little gift shop off the freeway that they get you to stop at by putting up signs that…read moresay they have info on the mountain, maps, etc but it's just a gift shop. I went inside first as we have a dog and my husband stayed outside with her. The clerk inside was obviously sick and coughing and hacking the whole time I was in there so I didn't stay long. I advised my husband of such but also let him know they had some cute stuff. He had seen a shirt he wanted through the window and went in to get it while I stayed with the dog outside. He also wanted a bigfoot selfie, which is just taking a selfie with a bigfoot inside, and he ended up finding another shirt he liked so we did purchase a few items from this place but there was no real information here, and the clerk was not friendly to me (maybe because she should have called in sick). Don't expect much. This is just a store if you want to grab some touristy junk or souvenirs and apparently my husband did...

A nice little science stop a few miles off I-5. While the Johnston Observatory is closed due to…read moreroad repairs, this facility offers a fine alternative for those interested in volcanoes and specifically, Mt. St. Helens. Usual displays and short film. A wetlands boardwalk hike of under 1 mile just outside the building. All this is in the boundaries of Seaquest State Park. And yes, there is a nice view of Mt. St. Helens, though it's approximately 40 miles away (as the crow flies). Admission to the center is $5/each. Not sure how this fee works with the WA State Park fee for Seaquest State Park.

Very beautiful visitor center. It reopened in 2025 after being closed for renovations and I have to…read moresay, the architecture is GORGEOUS with vaulted ceilings and large windows to let in the surroundings. There's wood paneling which helps you feel immersed into nature. There's an informational desk about the area, helpful for visitors newish to the area or those with questions. The gift shop is also accessible with the usual offerings of post cards, tchotchkes, and such. Do note that the restrooms are accessible outdoors at the side of the building. There's a pay area part of the center which is $5/18+, $2.50/7-17, free for 6 years old or younger, and family $15 for 2 adults and children 7-17 years old. They also honor veteran's disabled pass, WA state disabled pass, and senior limited income pass. It's definitely worth the admission, since there's a lot of exhibits explaining the geology of the area, the flora and fauna, the native peoples, and the later commercial and recreational uses of the area. There's even a place where you can walk into a huge mock up of Mt St Helens! Very fun. They have a short film playing about the eruption too. I didn't get to explore much outside as it was super rainy, but I saw a boardwalk trail out in the back. I did not see Mt St Helens due to the weather, but I'll be back when the weather is nicer!

Joe is working on finalizing some exhibit areas and will have a lot more on display in another week or two. Joe (museum curator) along with his wife Diana are experts on Mt St Helens and have a deep knowledge about the local community and how it was impacted (and still is!) by the events of May 18, 1980. I'm not into Sasquatch stuff, but there is a lot of that here also, and Joe is super knowledgeable in that field as well. Well worth a worth the stop! Allow 2 hours or so.

They have a great selection of quality and stylish items. They also sell the popular Jelly Cat brand which my kids love. Very friendly staff. I've been in a couple times now where they have chances to get an extra discount off your purchase. I've bought a couple of Free People tshirts and many other miscellaneous items from here. I love to just go in and look around at all the beautiful inventory. The prices are fair, especially since the items are quality. This is not a dollar store by any means. The brands that are curated here are well known and established. Give them a look!

I stopped in today to buy a Mac C toaster as I became obsessed last time I was in! The store owner…read morewas so great last time helping me decide on a tea pot, so I was happy and excited to support a small business! Went in today and stood around and walked around for a solid 20 minutes without the shop employee even acknowledging my presence. Needless to say, I will not be spending money here again. A "hello" or "how can I help you" go a long way. I will be giving my money to Williams Sonoma instead of shopping small business at Hallstrom Home. I am so disappointed and truly hope they get it together and learn that building clientele is easy if you can manage to be a polite and helpful shop employee.

Although I love to "people watch" at Walmart and big chain stores, a locally owned shop like Hubbub…read morecan't be replicated or substituted. Hubbub is a locally owned, hip, and trendy specialty store in downtown Centralia. They carry hand made scarves, hats, womens shoes, jewelry, ornaments, lip balm, handcrafted night lights, drink coasters designed like LPs, artistic clocks and mirrors. . . . and the list goes on. If you are looking for a great gift or something to decorate your home then look no further than Hubbub. I needed a unique gift, but just could not figure out what to buy. Rebecca took the time to show me around the store and assist me. She was the perfect salesperson- making sure she asked the appropriate questions so the receiver would be happy with a personal gift. I can't thank her enough! If you are looking for something unique, original, and locally owned then visit Hubbub. You won't be disappointed.
