Just a quick disclaimer--I used to work there. I no longer do, but that hasn't dampened my…read moreadmiration for Gross Drug at all. On the contrary--I feel stores like this represent the best of the old America I grew up in. Bridgeport is in the middle of nowhere, and Gross Drug is the last old business in a town whose demographic has changed dramatically in the last forty years. During all that time Dale and Sheryl Gross have maintained an old fashioned feel to their full-service pharmacy and drug store. You can find obscure products from your childhood and the latest cancer medications. There's an excellent magazine section (the nearest one that's better is fifty miles away). Gifts, children's toys, cards and beauty products, stationery and office supplies, even a few vet supplies. Everybody there is friendly, cheerful, and will literally move the world to get you what you need--just ask. The old Five-And-Dime--my home town of Menlo Park, California had one. It's now replaced by a snarky boutique in a high street utterly unrecognisable from the gentle backwater it once was. So dreadfully sad. But Gross Drug in Bridgeport, Washington is INSTANTLY recognisable from the days when America was intimate and friendly. Long may it live!

This is an oddly-named store, as one would think, from the name and the exterior store façade, that…read morethis shop was devoted to, well, swimming and pools and the like. Don't be deceived by the name! Swimming and pool stuff compromises at most 25% of the wares in this cute shop. At most! There is SO much more to this store than just swimming gear and pool accessories: -they've a decent Seahawks selection of goods, of all sorts, all devoted to the greatest football team on the planet (not that I'm biased, mind you!). -they've a ton of women's jewelry, in all price ranges, from kitschy to quite nice (I acknowledge the definition of kitsch is highly personal and subjective). -they've a large selection of household accessories and décor items, most of which were quite lovely. -they've an upstairs level devoted to garden accessories and outdoor patio furniture. I checked out their website and I see that they sell and service spas, pools, barbeques and stoves and fireplaces. I wasn't aware of this from wandering about their shop. I guess this place IS more of an "outdoor living" store (as it advertises to be on their business cards) than I had realized! All I know is, it's a great shop for gift ideas or jewelry or Hawks fare for friends or family, or yourself!

I outfitted my entire new living room with all the fabulous home decor Lake Life has inside its doors. Kelli, the owner, always has fresh seasonal items that make it a joy to shop every time you visit. Her staff is super friendly & helpful. I LOVE SHOPPING HERE

This shop is quite lovely, featuring mostly womens' accessories (especially pendant necklaces, but…read moreother jewelry items as well) and house and garden accessories. It seems to focus on "lake house" accents: lake-oriented themes for throw pillows, plaques, plates, lake quotes on kitchenware, nautical-themed towels, etc. There are lots of candles and outdoor patio décor items (garden sculptures, wind chimes and the like). I visited this shop a few times and not once did I see a male in the store or any woman under the age of 50 (and yes, that includes myself! lol!). Such is the demographics of the client base here. This store carries specific items for a specific customer base, and it does it well. If one is looking for a gift for a friend who lives by a lake, or who has a boat, this is the place, hand's down.

This boutique specializes in women's clothing and accessories. I saw plenty of lovely tops and…read moredresses and pants, as well as purses and totes and jewelry items. I'd say this shop caters most to women in their 30's and older. The quality of clothing was high, both in materials and craftsmanship. As a result, the prices of clothing here was also quite high. You get what you pay for, I suppose! The store itself is pretty and well laid-out. There's an open plan here and it's easy to walk about and explore the various clothing racks and displays. The dressing rooms in the back looked quite nice, too. The lady who works here was very pleasant and we chatted a bit. I was surprised that they didn't have any business cards when I asked for one, though (I keep business cards for future reference, and also to help me when I write my Yelp reviews!). For the most part, though, this was a nice store to explore, with higher-end women's ware. I would definitely check back here if I lived nearby to see when items went on sale.
