A medium-sized store in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood, which seems to be targeting the homesick among Seattle's Hawaiian community. It's not unusual to hear the lilting tones of pidgin english spoken here. There is a food section, and leis can be ordered straight from Hawai'i. Tiki Farm
Finally made a stop in here during my most recent Seattle work trip. From the moment I walked in I felt like I was back in Hawaii. From the music to the assortment of aloha shirts, candies, leis, etc. The lady who worked there was super friendly and even poured me a bit of Koloa Pineapple Passion. Only downside is that my wahine wasn't there with me. So looks like a return trip will be order 🤙🏼
On a trip to Seattle last March, I decided to do a super tiki tour and hit EVERYTHING even remotely tiki in the area. The Hawaii Store was my very first stop.
The Hawaii Store, in many ways, reminded me of the ABC Stores throughout the islands that sell Hawaii souvenirs (shirts, sunglasses, key chains, coffee mugs, etc.)--only better. On a dreary overcast Seattle day, this place added some much needed sunshine into my trip and set the mood for all of the tiki to come. There were tiki mugs, of course (and i am sure I bought one or two or...), but there was also some interesting food items. One such item isn't commercially available on the west coast and the store imported it specially. It was some sort of sweet and sour fruit candy thing---very interesting. If you wish, you can read more about my experience at the store (complete with photos as well as tales of other tiki and tiki-esque spots I visited) HERE: https://monsterago-go.blogspot.com/2018/03/im-freaky-for-tiki-12-super-seattle.html

This store has been there almost 20 years, such a beautiful store and the shop owners were so helpful, I bought some POG juice, and Li Hing Mui Powder, they also have Aloha Shirts, macadamia nuts, some tourist carved Tikis, and some Tiki mugs from Tiki Farm. Definitely worth a visit.
The most amazing thing about this shop is you can order fresh leis which i believe come straight from Hawaii .
Nice little store in Wallingford! They have a great selection of Hawaiian goods including sundresses (I love mine!). Do wish they would sell passion fruit syrup for cocktails, though...
Great store, with a nice selection of Hawaiian items -- clothes, food, decorations, and even a few tiki items. My wife found me a great tiki lamp here for my birthday. Friendly staff.
