Fritz creek general store. This is a great reason to take a drive out east end road. EXCELLENT kitchen here to pick up food mixed in with a old school post office, general store, beer and wine store and a gas station. Personal favorite is the brisket sandwich. Not much for eating area but we suggest driving a few more miles out to Evaline recreation trails, eating your goods and taking a beautiful stroll. This is a pro tip.

Great little quirky theater with kind workers and hands down the best popcorn you’ll get at a theater. Pro tip- add the yeast seasoning.

City advice

Getting around

No public transit

No public transit but a few excellent cab companies.
Don't miss

Don’t miss these!

The Saturday or Wednesday Farmers market, any chance to see live music, first Friday gallery viewings, Bear Creek Winery, Sweetgale Meadworks and Cider House, any of our amazing food trucks (personal fave and best use of local food is ‘Dandelion’ in the parking lot of the Washboard. Do the Grewink glacier lake hike if your able. Walk the spit, get Carmen’s gelato or a slice at Finn’s pizza. Our movie theater rocks, as well as Pier One Theater on the Spit.
