Ok, and the Pike Place Market . . . this is the third Seattle landmark that every tourist should experience. Archie Mcphee's is in the Ballard area and lives up to it's name as an "outfitter of popular culture." They have started up their own brand, called Accoutrements, which brings you exciting toys such as the Jesus and Librarian action figures, bacon strips . . . bacon looking bandages that serve to make a small scratch on your knee look REALLY unappetizing, and the ever present rubber chicken.
The actual store also adds bins of tiny plastic toys, unusual medical equipment and religious icons . . . it is truly an experience worth having. There is a reason they had to expand to an annex.
