Located in the heart of downtown Ballard at 2000 NW Market Street, you can't miss All the King's Flags brilliant and colorful window displays. They service the west coast supplying flagpoles, stock and custom flags and banners. Boaters, the military, local companies and the average person wanting something unique to fly in their yard or on their deck, are all customers of All the King's Flags. If you want something seasonal or special, or maybe just an obscure country flag, this is the place to go.

Located south of the international district and well north of Boeing Field in the middle of not much happening industrial Seattle, on 6th Ave. S., you'll find RE-PC. RE-PC is the place to buy, sell or recycle computers and computer peripherals. Hard to find stuff can be found here, however their selection varies on what they can get their hands on.

Located in Ballard, just northeast of the Ballard Bridge at 1440 NW 52nd St. is the RE Store. They have your standard building salvage pieces along with some unusual and downright odd items. For unusual, last time I was there they had an ancient bidet or sits bathtub. The oddest thing they had then was clothing, from the 1950s or 60s that had been salvaged from a former dry cleaners. The items were apparently found behind a locked door that wasn't highly visible and had been forgotten about. The RE Store personnel discovered the door and found the old clothes. They weren't building supplies, but were too cool to scrap, so they salvaged them!
Price wise the RE Store is all over the board, from very pricey to downright reasonable, depending on what you want. I haven't tried dickering or doing a trade in, but hey, some of the stuff they get is donated, so I suppose you could try. One word of caution, make sure you know what you want before you go in, it's one of those"kid in the candy store" places for builders and remodelers.

This is where I find all my hard to find replacement fixtures, knobs, windows, doors and woodwork and such for my home built in 1900. They salvage a variety of buildings, from residential to commercial to religious from many different eras. As a result, you can find stuff from the not quite so distant past as well as unusual elements that can be added to your home or business.
Sadly for those of us in Seattle, they are currently moving from their South Lake Union spot to Everett where they will reside at 2114 Hewitt. I don't know where that is, but you can either call for directions or check their website to see if they have directions posted.
The store hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 10:30 am to 5:30 pm.

Ye Olde Curiosity Shop has been around longer than I can remember. Located on Seattle's waterfront at Pier 54, it has moved once, but still retains one of the original whalebones that formed an arch over the old doorway.
It is filled with natural curiosities, local and worldwide,such as two headed pigs and shrunken heads. They sell souvenirs, gifts, and Native American arts and crafts. It also contains historic artifacts from Seattle and around the world. And of course, it is famous for "Sylvester" the petrified man. He's fascinating, but not for the squeamish.
Last April, they opened a second store front right next door, where additionally they sell ice cream and homemade fudge.

Hardwick's, located in the University district on Roosevelt Avenue was a funky hardware store when I first discovered it many years ago. It became Hardwick's swap shop and now is just Hardwick's. It's a combination of good old fashioned hardware store, swap shop, and museum. You can find new and used power tools, hard to find hardware and a variety of stuff that's too numerous to name. It isn't very big, but they pack a lot of stuff in there. The aisles are pretty narrow.
If you have a craftsman house or you just want a craftsman feel in your home, go here for your hardware.This is where I finally found the right hinges for my 1920's built in hutch.
They have a lot of old and new items. if you need a Kansai saw for detailed wood work, go here, there have the best selection in town.

Have you ever needed one washer for a leaky faucet, or just one nail for a repair project? Are you tired of replacing more the entire fixture, when you only need to replace a part? Try Five Corners...
Have you ever needed one washer for a leaky faucet, or just one nail for a repair project? Are you tired of replacing more the entire fixture, when you only need to replace a part? Try Five Corners Hardware, located on the intersection of 3rd Ave. W. and McGraw St. on the northern topside of Queen Anne hill. It's one of the last remaining true hardware stores. You can get keys made, or buy glass for windows, screen for doors or windows, plumbing and electrical parts, tools, hardware, gardening supplies and more. You can actually buy one washer if that's all you need for your faucet, unlike those other larger stores where you need to buy at least twenty. It's a family owned store and the people who work there are exceptional helpful and friendly.

People, if you have not been here, you really must check it out! Located on the top of Queen Anne hill, at 1629 Queen Anne Ave. N., they are near the middle of the Ave.
I don't know much about the owners, or why they decided to open this store, but I'm so glad they did! If you need a gift for someone who pretty much has everything, I'm sure you'll find something here that they don't have.
They have a mixture of Asian, continental European and modern innovative items for the kitchen or home. You'll find extravagant English china, natural fiber mats for the table or floor, to potholders with and innovative twist. The way the wares are displayed is exceptional, you feel more like you're in an art gallery.
My favorite find are these tea bags shaped like pyramids, filled with one of three varieties of tea. You can even purchase matching accessories for them, or a complete gift set, including tea cup. Honestly, words can't do these tea bags justice, you have to see them to understand why they are so cool.
They are open 11:00 am to 6:00 pm Tuesday through Saturday.
