“Confusing Seattle for over 30 years!”

If you’re in Seattle and you need a unicorn mask, some wasabi-flavored candy canes, or a giant, inflatable champagne bottle, then Archie McPhee is the place for you.  Since 1983 the purveyor of novelties, gifts, and gags has provided an unparalleled selection of finger puppets, rubber chickens, and other objects of dubious necessity, which together number over 10,000. There (and perhaps only there if you’re unwilling to shop over the internet) you can buy giant Slinkys, Jesus action figures, seven kinds of “CAUTION” tape, and much, much more; if it inflates, tastes like bacon, or glows in the dark, you can probably find it at Archie McPhee.

Other features and attractions include Cap’n Archie (a mechanical fortune teller), a “Glow Chamber”, and the famous Wallingford Beast.
