Found this place while my partner was tidepooling in the area. So nice to see an old school hobby shop still doing it. Yet another treasure while exploring the Olympic Peninsula.
Informed and engaging staff. Amazing selection of model kits, accessories and just oddball stuff. The building is awesome as well.
