Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is a store on the Seattle waterfront. Founded in 1899, it is best known as a souvenir shop or a dime museum. This 1922 postcard shows the shop on Colman Dock. Today, the store is a part of Pier 50 and the Washington State Ferry Terminal. A true local institution, the shop has been owned by four generations of the same family. (Store information)
