This used to be my favorite destination spot on the waterfront with shrunken heads, the alligator boy, the shot cowboy mummy, the usual jarred and pickled anomolies, plus a fantastic penny arcade! Since it's relocation, the shop offers little more than the usual waterfront trinkets found in any town.....oh, and a few pieces of curioso. I wish they did more... more

My mom tried to buy a book that was priced $9.99. They clerk said it was actually $15.99. My mom told the clerk she couldn't charge more than the ticket price. The clerk called the manager who said, "I'll take care of it." He rang it up for $15.99. My mom again told him it wasn't ethical to charge more... more

I have always loved this shop since I was little. I love the shrunken heads, the mummy, and all the odd things that the founder collected for years. It’s like Ripley’s without the cover charge.

Just make sure to bring some silver change for the cool little toy things. They have a fortune teller just like the... more

Need a skruken head, heres the place to go. Pretty good place to pick up a few trinkets. The wooden postcards were a good buy at a $1 when I was there, hopefully they don't rise in price. more

Ye Olde curiosity shop is a great place to go if you like to look at mummies, two-headed pigs, the lord's prayer written on a grain of rice, or tons of other strange and unusual things. It's like a sideshow attraction crossed with a gift shop. It's something not to be missed in Seattle. more
