Agreed! I have only been there once (my family lives in Port Angeles) and, to use the old saying, I felt like a kid in a candy store. They also have some "proper" costume items, but you really go in there for the random stuff. I would second wilbret's testimonial - amazing, odd things that immediately put you in a tinkering mindset. What made me a true fan of the store was the fact that I found a bin of glass taxidermy eyes! I had been looking for nice and creepy doll eyes for an accessory to a future costume, and had had no luck. I got a really nice assortment of eyes at Archie's for incredibly cheap, and supposedly when I went, they were actually low on variety (I had trouble believing that when I looked at all the beautiful peepers peering up at me from my arms)! Great store (and friendly staff)!
