Why Buy Handmade?
When you choose a handmade gift from a local artist, you're not just buying an object – you're investing in a story, a moment of genuine human creativity, and the vibrant artistic community of Washington State.
Unlike mass-produced souvenirs churned out in distant factories, each handcrafted piece carries the unique fingerprint of its maker, subtle variations that make your gift truly one-of-a-kind.
Local artisans pour their passion, skill, and understanding of the Pacific Northwest's distinctive character into every creation, resulting in gifts that authentically capture the spirit of our region in ways that factory-made items simply can't match.
From the San Juan Islands where this seasoning salt is made, to Spokane, we've got many Washington artists and artisans for you to choose from.
What Makes Washington State Special?
With ecosystems spanning from mountains to desert, rainforests to marine waters, you can find nature in all her bounty here. Washington has the only temperate rainforest in the USA. We also produce most of the nation's hops (beer drinkers that's for you!). And if you like drinking wine, we have more than 900 wineries producing world-class wine.
Washington is also home to a famous coffee culture and grunge music, twenty-nine federally-recognized Indian tribes, and some of the largest corporations in the USA including Amazon, Microsoft, Costco, and Starbucks.
While in Washington you can whale watch, climb one of the tallest mountains in the lower 48, or go hunting for trolls.
One thing you can't do is hunt for Sasquatch. In Skamania County, where the famous Mount Saint Helens lives, it is illegal to kill Sasquatch and can land you in jail for up to five years!
