Seattle, Washington - Archie McPhee Is Moving, Not Dead

Archie McPhee Catalog Store: Panic swept the rubber chicken and surplus radiation suit markets last week when it was reported that Archie McPhee would be closing its store in Seattle. [10/01/2008] Complete Story...

Archie McPhee's "Beast Of Wallingford"

On a recent trip I noticed Archie McPhee's, recently relocated to Seattle's Wallingord District, includes a new attraction: a hybrid insect/man/fish whatsis under glass known as "The Beast Of Wallingford." It's curiously enough in the exact same pose as "The Thing, Mystery Of The Desert" down off the I-10 in Arizona.

"Maybe they're related," a clerk hopefully offered. [Wendigo187, 06/16/2011]

Archie McPhee & Co.

The Archie McPhee store recently moved to a new physical location, which is slightly smaller than the old shop, but is packed with more insanity per square foot than ever before.

Do you need a battery-powered yodeling pickle? They have it. Been searching for tiny underpants that fit the immodest squirrels in your yard? Your search is over. Are you a fan of bacon? They have over 25 different bacon-themed items from air fresheners to gift wrap to wristwatches.

Plenty of bizarre costume items, odd figurines, retro-mod housewares, miniature items, action figures, quirky Indian posters, giant items (scissors, pencils etc), cool postcards, and way more.

The store also has several bins and racks of various things apparently bought in bulk from other companies - rubber tubing, hazmat suits, record player innards, science lab supplies and so on.

Sure, you can shop their online catalog as well, but you only get the full experience, including limited-supply and one-of-a-kind items, by visiting their physical store in Seattle. With items priced from thirty cents to hundreds of dollars, representing nearly every slightly bent interest, there really is something for everyone.

They also have a monthly coupon on their website, good for a free something or the other, so be sure to print one before visiting. [Daniel Langdon Jones, 02/24/2011]

Archie McPhee Catalog Store

Just got back and it is soooo cool. They have expanded to next door. It's bigger and better than ever. Oh, they still have a lot of vinyl mummies in stock! And rubber shrunken heads. [Charles Bennett, 05/25/2007]
