Alley Cat is a great antique mall along the main drag of Anacortes. It's very well organized and…read morethere is a lot to choose from - in fact, several of the vendor spaces are devoted to specific themes, like cowboy/western, nautical/mermaid, wine, tiki/Hawaiian, vintage cooking, etc. If I was going to do some kind of theme room I would definitely start here. They also have a great outdoor courtyard area full of all sorts of kitschy/rusting finery - everything from old bicycles to mattress springs to car bumpers just waiting to be repurposed creatively. One thing I like about this antique mall is that it's not just an antique mall - several stalls feature new (yet vintage-like) items and signage. The prices are typical for an antique mall (a litlte high, but hey where are you going to find this stuff anywhere else?) - but not outrageously so. The passageways are a little narrow, so keep your bags (and elbows) tucked in. This is definitely not a place I would dare to bring a small child. Best to plan your visit for an adults-only outing!

I was recently in Anacortes and spotted a brand new (to me) thrift shop. So, of course, I had to…read morestop in! What a cute little place. They have pretty much everything - from kitchen items and clothes, to books, tools, art, and even some small furniture items. They also have a small vintage section full of glass and other decor items. Prices, in general, were a little on the high side - though I supposed that describes most stores these days. I started in the kitchen area, where I picked up a couple of knick knacks for my travel trailer. Then I headed to what was a pretty impressive tool section. Although most of the tools were in pretty rough shape, and on the electric items there was no indication as to whether they'd been tested or not. I also checked out the books and, of course, the surprisingly thorough sewing and craft section. I ended with a trip through the very large clothing section, where I also noticed they have quite a great selection of interesting artwork too. Checkout was kinda weird, as there were extra employees (or maybe they were just friends of employees?) hanging out at the cashier area gossiping. I actually had to sort of make my presence known, even though I was the only customer in the shop. It felt awkward, like I was interrupting a private conversation. Kinda weird! I'll probably stop back next time I'm in Anacortes, as it seems like the kind of place that's probably regularly getting some interesting items on their shelves. Maybe the cashier's chit-chatty friends will have gone home by then.

As far as thrift shops go, it really doesn't get much better than Vintage La Conner. They have a…read morelittle bit of everything - from clothing to kitchen items to crafts to books - and most of it is pretty reasonably priced, too. The shop is well organized and there seems to be a good turnover of items. I visit whenever I'm in La Conner (about once every month or two) and I rarely see the same items sitting for too long. The staff (who I think are all volunteers) are always helpful and friendly, too. They're quick to offer assistance, wrap up a breakable item, or answer a question. On my most recent visit, which was yesterday, I was excited to see they had some nice Christmas items in stock - including a Christmas 50% off table, and even some beautiful 1980s era Christmas china. I've always wanted a whole set of Christmas china, but had to resist the temptation to buy it. Should have grabbed a pic as it was quite lovely!

I was under the impression that this organization follows through on commitments…read more I called to book a pickup and was originally told I was "out of the area" and probably wouldn't happen. I am in the same zip code!!! Finally talked to an "informed person" and got this scheduled. In the mean time another volunteer called to schedule (which was already done). Apparently lack of communication is a real problem amongst these volunteers. I worked very hard to make it simplier to take my items and don't appreciate the efforts I've made to be wasted, I don't have the luxury of free time, I need to move ASAP! On the day of the pick up (scheduled between 9-12), no one arrived. Then the call came it would be 1:30-2:00. That also didn't happen. Again, Dave called and cancelled completely too much stuff already in the store. Why didn't they notice that before agreeing to take my stuff in the first place. Unprofessional and rude to say the least! Suggestion: Don't accept assignments if you don't have the time or space to follow through. I rather doubt homeowners are calling and scheduling unless there is a real need for your services! Very disappointed in this organization and highly recommend if you need the services in a timely manner, best to look elsewhere.
