Long Beach
Desmodus recommends this site: "Along with Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe, Marsh's Free Museum in Long Beach, WA was another place I used to go to with my family when I was younger. It has similar items on display. Shrunken heads, skeletons, freakish animals, and most notable, Jake the alligator man."

A Comtesse Travelogue!
An atmospheric stroll through the Seattle underground.
RetroStarlet recommends this local attraction: "I'm recommending Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. It's on the waterfront (1001 Alaskan Way - Pier 54, Seattle WA) a block or two south of the Seattle Aquarium . They sell the usual tourist junk but they also have lovely exhibits of real shrunken heads and an actual mummy (preserved by the elements). You can even buy fake, yet realistic shrunken heads, if you'd like. The place scared the crap outta me as a kid!" Ah, the folly of youth...
Sarah also recommends this store: "If you want a quickie, there's always the Ye Olde Curiousity shop. There are two real mummies (I believe you can see the gunshot wound on one of them) and lots of shrunken heads. Also odd things like dead animals and whale bones and such. Best of all, it's a store, so you don't have to pay admission to go visit."
