Archie McPhee, one of Ballard's largest tourist attraction, reported to the News-Tribune that it will relocate to the Wallingford neighborhood. The store had been scouting for new locations after their property owner declined to renew their lease.
They are currently operating at 2428 N.W. Market St. on a month-to-month basis.
Store manager Shana Iverson said the new location is located on Stone Way North, 10 blocks north of where the store was located in Fremont before moving to Ballard in 1999.
Check back for further details on the move.
