While strolling through Tacoma's antique district there seems to be more shops than I first…read morerealized. I had no clue Urban Squirrel was in the area so I was very excited to give the place a look. I was very enticed by what I saw outside. The place is antique oriented but it also has a craft like nature to it which is really cool. Some items are a combination of an antique and an art project which adds a very unique vision to the merchandise here. Urban Squirrel is a fun place to get a gift for someone or yourself and offer a unique, one of a kind flair to what they or you are receiving.

But having gone back a couple of times since then I always seem to find that super cool niche thing for a gift or just my own personal collection I do find that some of the vendors here are a little more high priced But most always you can negotiate down a little bit and get a better deal and that's the point of antiquing right. So I definitely recommend it and we will be back to explore their treasures often

Been a vendor here for 5 years and a loyal customer several years before vending. I love it so much…read morehere both as a vendor and a customer! This mall is very large and diverse in styles and eras which I love. No one booth looks like another. The owners and staff are very friendly and are superb at creating a family like atmosphere. You can tell by the happy vendors that this is a spectacular mall to be in. We have a ton of great antique malls in the Pacific Northwest but this one remains my favorite not just because I vend here, but also because it is unique and different from any other mall I have been to. Many of the booths are so large they feel like their own store within the mall. And don't even get me started on the variety of clothes, shoes, and accessories! Not only can you find antique and vintage pieces for your collection, but there are also a ton of hard to find modern styles and pieces as well. If you don't have this mall on your map, you are totally missing out! The variety can't be beat.

There are SO many vendor booths and there is something for everyone - kitchenware, MCM, farmhouse, model cars, sewing crafts, glassware, books... you name it. Most of the booths have a very specific curated vibe or theme, so it helps you narrow down where you want to browse. I always seem to have luck with vinyl records, which is usually slim pickings at other antique shops I've been to. Each vendor dictates their prices. Most things were very reasonable, though some things were more than I'd personally pay - but value is in the eye of the beholder, anyway. The staff here is so welcoming and helpful, and you can tell that they love what they do. Definitely check them out!

He only carries authentic antiques (100+ years), and does his research to price appropriately. The display changes weekly, so it's always a delight to discover something you may have missed the last time you visited. David also takes worthy antiques on commission. The store is chock full of great finds that look beautiful in any style setting. Of note: As of January 18, 2022, the hours are Wednesday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm (closed Sun, Mon, Tues). That might change during the summer. Always call to make sure. Next time I visit the store, I will take pictures and post.

Whoever thought having "all records $5" right next to a "records $10-$15" sign and telling me "yeah, I barely work here and don't know why that $5 sign is there" tells me one of two things. You're lying or incompetent. There is a huge collection of records, and most of them are missing, damaged vinyls/sleeves, and complete unknowns not even worth $1. Do better with your prices or try to clean up the collection, and work at it a bit.

This antique shop is very labyrinth like I found out as I was able to thoroughly explore the store…read morerecently and there are so many items and oddities here that if you take your time and explore enough upstairs, downstairs and all the rooms involved you are bound to find something that you will want to purchase. Some of these oddities are really just for admiration and to look at like the sarcophagus that is encased in glass here. It's really something onto itself coming into this shop and getting lost in it. I imagine some of the empty rooms could be meant for tenants that sell different merchandise but it's so far inside this main place I'm not sure how much foot traffic they would receive which accounts for most of these rooms being vacant. Unusual and vast this antique shop is definitely worth checking out when strolling through the antique district of Tacoma.

I made several attempts to resolve the issue directly, but was completely ignored. This behavior is deceptive and highly unprofessional.
