On the advice of a friend, I stopped at Swain's the first time I went to Port Angeles. Mind blown. What a great place. I will be shopping there frequently.

The other amazing place I will spend too much money is the bookstore down town, Port Book and News.

Unfortunately the local gun store in Sequim has closed and there is nothing else nearby.

Congratulations on your new home! (and on getting out of California). My wife and I left "The People's Republic of Connecticut" about a year and a half ago, settling just outside of Nashville. I still can't believe the freedoms we enjoy here that were somehow forbidden in CT and CA.

BEAUTIFUL country Washington is !!

Was on a 3 month motorcycle trip (7-8-9/1980) and had just climbed the Grand Teton (Wyoming) and was in Washington 3 months after the initial blast (5/1980) - took a plane (4 seater) ride around it at the time - the devastation was just UNBELIEVABLE. Climbed Mt. Rainer a few years later, the view from that peak was just awesome as well.

Sorry to say, but you'll have sojourn across the Hood Canal bridge in to Kidnap county (Kitsap for those that don't live here), to find a gun shop. there are a couple in Silverdale and Port Orchard but the good ones are in the Tacoma area. The best (biggest) gun club in the state is there Washington Arms Collectors (WAC) and they hold monthly shows at the Puyallup and Monroe fair grounds. They're pretty big shows with quite a few ammo dealers. Google their web site. Unfortunately across the sound, Pugetroplus has been invaded by the liberal Commifronstanians and they're curtailing rights demanding rainbow crosswalks and paved hiking trails everywhere. Still the country up here is beautiful and when the rain and snow come back the idiots will retreat back across the water. Welcome to PA, good to have someone on our side of the fence. Congrats on your escape.
