Description
Port Gamble General Store and Cafe ... Since 1916.
Taken on a trip with Denise (MrsRatbag) and Marilyn (beachzz) in early May.
Open the swinging door, being careful not to run into the lady in jeans who is coming out. The counter is to your left, with merchandise on all sides. There is a staircase that goes up to a mezzanine which houses a sort of natural history museum of the area.
There's a cafe in the back section. The back corner is devoted to a coffee bar, this being a hop skip and a jump from Seattle, home of pretentious coffee.
Reflected in the windows you'll see 150-year-old buildings and brand new vehicles.
Such an interesting place to visit!

Oh wow - what a lovely old shop front! I love the scale and am always amazed by the umbrellas left outside! Try that in SA - they will be gone in 30 seconds!!! LOL...

Thanks for taking us inside and showing us around. I love these doors...now, a virtual trademark of yours. And yes, the "weighing machine"/scale:) Have you got two pennies I can borrow to check my weight? I think it only takes wheat pennies...so cool:*
MrsRatbag
You captured it so beautifully; what a wonderful place this was!

You know, I didn't remember Port Gamble until I saw this! Even flew there once in one of those sea planes...sheesh! I must be getting old, lol! Its a beautiful shot Tara! Lol @ Bill! I love the old scale and I have wheat pennies...but not so inclined to step on the thing! As always your reflections captivate and intrigue me. The Klallam language word of the day seems to fit this image well:-) shəyí: 'life spirit, soul'. Contained in every living thing.

There is a restaurant in China that they say has been in business for a thousand years so we've got a ways to go to catch up. I'll bet that place doesn't look as nice as this one. Very well captured. I really like the reflections. I love old places like this but I don't know how well I would fit in since I don't drink coffee.

And they make great coffee---and apparently have a wonderful glass display upstairs!!

A classic Tara stealth door shot – no reflection of the photographer and yet a fantastic capture. LOL Clive – my street is only 200 yards long with only 2 buildings on the street – one building on each side of the street. My address number is 15126 and the other side of the street is number 15144. Go figure. Dana
