A good stop for last minute needs on the way to Mount Rainier. We stopped here and grabbed a gallon…read moreof water for $3 and we're pleasantly surprised to find a popcorn machine inside, so we picked up a bag of that too. The man at the cash register was kind and helped us avoid over paying with credit card charges vs cash. And I have to say, the little town around here is super cute. They have converted the railroad cars into restaurants and hotel rooms. I'll always remember our little stop here.

Great people, great items for locals, great experiences…read more I have loved this store ever since I first came into the Ashford area. I am so grateful for you all being here and saving me many trips to put all up and saving me a ton of costs compared to eatonville

We grabbed a couple pieces of steak, corn, mushrooms and fried chicken for our lodge that we were staying at 5 miles down. We were able to grab what we needed for dinner and breakfast.

I'd been here before while hiking or skiing and thought it was a great place…read more Last week I discovered I had a flat as I left for home from skiing - went in to ask who they would suggest calling. The woman behind the counter scared up a couple guys who helped me and FIXED THE FLAT. OMG. I was so, so appreciative. I'd come back to the store and their parking lot because I knew if I had to wait a long time I'd be safe. I never expected this kind of care an community. The best. From here on out when I am back and forth either to or via White Pass I'll be making a point of stopping and being a customer.

Would I have ever guessed that some of the best damn pizza I'd eat all summer would be in a spot…read morewith $10 showers and free camping? No. But here we are, and I'm better for it. Avalon and Kelly are the kind of folks that make you forget you've been eating peanut butter out of a tortilla for a week. Legit customer service. Friendly, fast, and fun without being fake. They serve up pizza that slaps. Each slice lands like a ghost from your past, hot, messy, and better than it has any right to be. And they don't stop at pizza. There's other hot food on deck too. Real meals, not just hiker hallucinations. The vibe? Immaculate. Not just "someone waved a mop near it" clean. This place actually shines. One guy in overalls, out there like a quiet legend, keeps everything looking cared for with steady, no-nonsense grace. I never caught his name, but I hope someone is writing him love songs. Respect. The perks? Free camping. Ten dollar hot showers. Laundry. Cold beer specials. When the main toilet's locked, there are 24-hour porta-potties. Because even when things get rough, they've got your back. And the prices? Totally reasonable, even for someone who's been surviving off trail mix and moral victories. If you're rolling through and don't stop here, you're cheating yourself. This place doesn't just feed you. It forgives you, hydrates you, hands you a slice, and tells you it's okay to keep going.

This is such a cute little mountain market! We've gone here a couple times over different trips to…read moreAshford and it's conveniently located to where we normally stay. They have fun little gifts as well as a good snack selection. You can also get ice cream here which is fun. We usually come by here to grab drinks for the cabin and that was the case again this time. We were able to grab milk and they have a nice selection of wine as well. All of the cashiers that we've encountered have also been really nice. Overall this is a great little market stop if you're in need of some odds and ends when in Ashford/Elbe!

Great start to summer!

Came here last minute…read more Good: - Super friendly staff! We wanted to do a last minute reservation for kayaks and they were so flexible on the timing of the return! - Super well worth it and close to the water - $40 for the whole day and plenty of supply - The shop itself sells things at a super reasonable rate and for spending over $50 on our kayaks we got a free drink - The place has food trucks nearby so we got a super tasty birria ramen - Good vibes Bad: - If you want to walk to the water it is quite a journey it's not the easiest to lug 2 kayaks but it's doable! Overall would definitely come again - a chill, friendly shop!

I stopped by Alder Lake Market after spending the day in Mount Rainier National Park and was…read moreimpressed with the changes the new owners have made. The store was clean, organized, and well-stocked with a nice variety of snacks, drinks, fresh fruit, and camping essentials. If you're headed to Alder Lake for camping, kayaking, swimming, fishing, or a picnic, it's a convenient place to grab supplies without having to make a longer drive into town. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the store felt welcoming from the moment I walked in. There's also a coffee stand on site, which is a nice bonus before a day of exploring. One thing that really caught my attention was the kayak rentals. They're just $20 per hour or $40 for the whole day, which seemed like a great value for anyone wanting to spend time on the water. It's nice to see this store getting new life. I'll definitely stop in again the next time I'm visiting the area.
