The Mount St. Helens Gift Shop sits in Castle Rock on the road to its namesake mountain about a…read morehalf mile off I-5. Plenty of parking. The gift shop, as expected, is well stocked with items concerning Mount St. Helens and the events of 1980. Lots of memorabilia scientific and colloquiel. More unexpectedly, the Mount St. Helens Gift Shop also seems devoted to all things Big Foot. They stock a larger selection of t-shirts, hoodies etc displaying Sasquatch than I've ever seen before. There is also a large (8'!)stuffed doll who is available for photos....unlike his corporeal cousins! There is also a smatering of other local items. We bought a jug of marionberry jam that comes with a top to make it a salt or pepper shaker when you finish off the jam.

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.

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.
